I'm in on this too @EpicTech
Thanks man! I was literally in your neck of the woods about 2 weeks ago. Just passing through on my return to Texas. Obviously not in the GTI though.

Dang, could have swung through for a pit stop with beer and BBQ!
If not for the time crunch to get back home, I would have. I did almost pm you to see if you wanted to meet at like McDonalds or something lol.

Got the MK7 back today after being at the shop for a day. 100k mile service gets new timing chain, serpentine belt and BFI stage 1 engine mount. Transmission mount isn’t going in til I do the clutch. First impressions regarding the engine mount. Interesting. I like it. Vibration is definitely there. Car feels and sounds more like a race car in way bc of the vibration. Engine feels super stable. Won’t be able to go WOT til I replace the clutch since it’s currently slipping. Glad I did this mod.

Have been focused on reducing resonance from road noise lately. Scored a huge improvement by adding sound deadening to the rear wheel wells under the interior carpet and trim. A bit of a PITA to pull back for access, but worth it. There's a whole lot of non-dampened metal in the rear quarters that likes to ring and resonate.

Sound deadening on the hatch floor and under the rear seats is much easier, and helps a bit, but it doesn't directly target some of the most annoying (IMO) tones. The wheel wells are where the big improvements happen.

Wrapped up the downpipe install, I need better tire. 235/40/18 Advan Apex v601 incoming, because I don't know that I need/want RT660s. Holy shit though. It fuckin SCOOTS. It's funny, because with all the sound control in place the car is pretty unassuming. I did get a CEL on the way to work this morning, so I'll have to see what all that's about.

Rethinking if I really need more power. We'll see how I feel about it after a season or two.
