had someone say "nice car" at the gas station. It's rare to hear that with the GTI (stock)
I had Jake’s mid and a borla xs. When I added the Catless Trackslag, my exhaust definitely toned down a bit from what it was before with the 3” JB DP. Much less vibration in car too.Guess we have different opinions of what sounds great. I can't imagine how unbearably droney, boomy and obnoxious this shit would be with an aftermarket dp.
Not sure what your rattle sounds like, but I had a rattle caused by the mechanism that opens the backup camera. It has 3, I think, bolts that hold it to the sheet metal of the back hatch. They had loosened up and we're causing a metalic clanking over bumps, etc. You'll have to take apart your hatch to get to it.Yup! Torqued to spec. I'm pretty certain it's a piece of trim or a latch somewhere, but I'm not aware of any super common rattle point in the hatch.
that's a rotator cuff killer day right there sonWashed bikes, the Burb, GLI & GTI today.

I never once had a random stranger in public say "nice car" to me in any of my GTIs. Even if it was as clean as possible and I was aired out in a parking lot looking fresh . The only close interaction was once another GTI parked next to me, stock height, but with engine mods. He didn't compliment my car but instead turned it into a pissing contest and started bragging about how his was faster than mine and how my air ride probably rode like shit. Like okay dude, cool.
Now that I have a GLI, I did actually have a random guy come up to me last week and say "wow that's a really nice car man."
He was gay and trying to hit on you.I never once had a random stranger in public say "nice car" to me in any of my GTIs.

Yeah here I thought awe was one of the better brands to go with. Might have to hit you up for one of those baddies.
Probably going to go with Jakes midpipe. I can't stand how exhaust shops just booger weld everything. Looks like dog shit and I'd be embarrassed to resell it tbh. But then again I still have my css muffler so might just throw that back on and figure out how to make that sound better and not so tinny.

too late!We don't have to turn this into a dem/con debate. All I was doing was riding the GLI lesbian wave, except I spun it to be gay this time.
