Dsg fart/burp sound louder/better

[GTI-Sam]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first thread! I wonder if one of you kind people out there could help me. I'm picking up my gti soon which is fully stock cosmetically and mechanically. I have a few things planned for it, however to cut it short I want to know what is the best or cheapest way to enhance the gear change sound that the dsg than makes on up shift? Will a resonator delete do the trick or would I need a downpipe? I don't want the car to sound too loud, but nice when pressing on and noticeable burps when changing gear. I may also consider going stage one after a little while.. please can someone explain the resonator delete option in more detail?

Thanks in advance guys :)

Welcome to the forum.
First do a pre cat remove and see.  there are guides on this site.

Centre resonator delete from the exhaust system is the most popular way to make the dsg fart more audible

[GTI-Sam]

Hi thanks for replying. So if I delete the resonator and then do they weld a pipe in? I think I'm going to do that first and this would also not be a MOT failure right? Rather than a decat.

Sorry for my ignorance but where about is that located? Again as I said I don't want it to be ricey but abit louder and good up shift noise.

Will the sound change if i remove the last rear resonator? More farts?

Writen with my fingers

Possibly I think so. Maybe more crackle as well?

will not be mot fail and you will get more sound if you remove the rear resonator then the middle resonator. Removing both the middle and rear resonators will be very loud and probably drone like hell.

Removing the cat/precat will result in a failed MOT Id say.

Id start at the middle resonator and they will put a straight pipe in its place.  using sleeve clamps means that itll be reversible mod if you dont like it whereas you are stuck if you weld it.

Cat most certainly, but removing the pre-cat should be completely fine and unnoticeable once warm. The outcast is only there for startup, which isn't tested in the UK. Mine passed last week with no pre-cat ☺

Hmm I don't like the idea of it droning, especially as my commute consists of motorway. Yeah I think I'll go for the centre resonator first and get it clamped instead of welded so I can see how it sounds and if I like it. Thanks for the info guys! I don't want to remove the rear resonator it may sound too chavy?

How did this work out lads? Am wanting the same as what this topic sounds. Not loud / droning noise but a little bit more of a DSG fart and the less exhaust noise the better haha

I've found that switching to V power has made it louder. Or, fold the back seats down. I think it's the perfect volume. If it were any louder it would annoy rear seat passengers with the constant pops.

Can never really have too loud or too many dsg farts.......

Same as me. I took out the pre-cat and it did add a little more in the DSG shift pops but not a major amount. I wouldn't actually want to do anything more with the exhaust though as it drives me mad having drone and a lot of noise. It gives better MPG with the pre cat out too.

Keep an eye on the oil too. Mine was using loads on motorway use but seems to of chilled out now.

Does anyone think the powervalve systems stop some of the pops/farts?

[Paradox1]

Why would it stop the dsg sound?

If anything it would make them louder
