Just uploaded a video of my CTS resonator delete on my Mk7.5 R DSG. Been running this for about 6000 miles but never got around to uploading a video.

the exhaust cutting tool was something like $20. For me, it was worth it to have around but I like tools.
Definitely a big change in exhaust note in my car, both inside and outside. I wouldn't call it loud, like an aftermarket exhaust but it sounds like a nice exhaust you'd expect to come from the factory now. No droning. Got the whole thing done in under 20 minutes but I do have a 4 post lift at home, which helps.

Nice job on the resonator delete!
I too used a Schwaben (sp?) exhaust pipe cutter when I did mine. The delete sounds good (I used a S3 one from VW), but for me it was still a bit too mellow so got a Borla CBE later on.

I broke the rental tool exhaust cutter. Where the chain attaches is just cheap stamped steel and it ripped. Had to finish the job off, very carefully, with a sawzall.

I just can't justify the costs on a nice CBE, so this was my best and only option doing any mods on the exhaust

Yup, me too. Plus EQT told me that a CBE adds no power over stock, so spending the cash just for sound isn't worth it to me.

I think that's a valid reason and compared to stock the delete does sound a lot like an aftermarket exhaust. I think if you have the flaps open all the time it will sound even more aftermarket.
