2021 GTI - TCR Exhaust

[parapraxis24]

Ahhhh you are probably still rolling with the 6spd DSG, right? If so that's probably the difference.

Yep you're right, completely forgot about the 7spd and lack of DSG farts.

They're still there, but very muted. More like a library or sunday mass fart.

Anyone used this TCR Muffler with a downpipe and have sound clips?

Congrats on the new car!

I also went with a TCR muffler, got it through e-acca as well. I had it installed last week. I wasn't able to find a suitable clamp to install it myself (I have a 2019 Rabbit) so I ended up going to a local shop to have it welded on. I also asked them to delete the reso at the same time.

I'm very happy with the sound since I didn't want anything loud or annoying. And the OEM+ look is a nice bonus. It is louder than OEM, and quieter than a full aftermarket exhaust system. I can barely hear it when cruising around town, but it does come alive when you step on it, especially in manual mode (I'm DSG). It purrs nicely at idle, and I love hearing the burbles when I start the car!

See this upgrade more as an evolution, rather than a revolution. If this is what you're looking for, then you will not be disappointed!

So you have any sound clips or videos.

I'm considering doing the same, getting rid of resonator and using the TCR.

Were you course working at the FIRM when I was driving? I wouldn't blame you if you don't recall but I had the TCR muffler installed at that point.

None yet. I'll try to do that soon.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.

My TCR muffler is getting installed next Friday on an otherwise stock '21. I'll upload one then.

Edit: also, does anyone know if '21 cars are being fitted with a GPF/OPF?

 

[Shark Blue GTI]

Installed and I answered my GPF question, no 2021 GTIs in North America are fitted with them.

 

[GenX Retread]

That sounds good. Did you find that muffler in Canuckiland, or did you have to import it?

Love to hear a vid at full WOT if you get a chance.

How's it sound cruising on highway?

Where have the last of you gotten the exhaust from? e-acca or ShopDAP?

Silent but deadly dsg farts

How does this thing sound with an aftermarket downpipe?

Depends on the resonator I think?
