Good looking GTi, you could copy and paste your mk5 story for mine, as I took the plunge 12 months ago and have been on the same restoration/modifying route as you.
As far as exhaust noise goes - I fitted a Malian 3” non res cat back and was impressed not only with the noise - just the right amount of burble without being obnoxious, but also the build quality. Especially give

True, but then you have a mk7, which in my opinion is the best looking golf, which also comes with a nice tunable engine that will usually make more with a stage 1 map than you golf with a stage 3.

I fitted Golf R Mk7 (MQB platform) 340mm brakes to the front of my Edition30 - awesome difference in braking, you'#039ll love it! nbsp Better initial feel and you can just feel the braking power there ready to use if needed. nbsp I resprayed in GTI red and applied GTI decals to them too, looks superb.
I'#039ve also got almost shot rear brakes that I intend to swap out at some point
