Hey all, just picked up a 2016 DSG Golf R, and I miss the extra growl that came from my 2009 GTI with a Driver's Gear cat-back exhaust installed.
I bought the GTI with the exhaust already installed, so I am not really familiar with the upgrade process.
I am looking at the AWE Tuning Mk7 Golf R SwitchPath™ Exhaust with Chrome Silver Tips, 90mm and AWE Tuning Performance Downpipe - Resonated. Here is a video: https://youtu.be/AqmGWbyzZWc
and the product website: http://www.awe-tuning.com/mk7-golf-r-exhaust. Questions:

and the product website: http://www.awe-tuning.com/mk7-golf-r-exhaust. Questions:
- What should I do with the stock exhaust? Is there any value to it in resale?
- Should a Euro-specific tuner shop install it, or should any decent repair shop be able to handle the job?
- Any recommended shops in northern to middle Michigan?
- What would one expect to pay for installation of downpipe+exhaust?
- Anything else I should know or be aware of regarding aftermarket exhaust?
- Is www.urotuning.com reputable? They are the cheapest I found the exhaust/DP for at $2,603.40 shipped.
