This will go one of two ways... milltek or BCS... let the fight commence! :p

If you want 'pop' you'll need full turbo back with de-cat ;)

If u want any sort of noise do not go for a resonated exhaust...the non res are quiet enough lol

I've just ordered the milltek decat and downpipe today so that completes mine ;) ...BCS are a bit cheaper and they are louder so if its noise you want?!

Both systems will give you a good tone...really only when you boot them. When you want a quiet cruise they're great :)

To be honest they're both quality engineered stainless steel exhausts to fit the mk5 GTI...close your eyes a choose one lol either way you won't be disappointed.
Only cheap ones will give you a drone.

Im running a 3" toyo sports downpipe and decat, and a Piper one box exhaust system and mine pops and bangs on overrun.
