Hi there, I've got a MK5 GTI and am thinking of getting a R tech stage one done- the car is absolutely standard. The wife uses it to take our son to school so doesn't want any thing noisy, i.e no induction kit, exhaust, etc.

I've read that getting the pre cat removed is a good idea to let the thing flow better but how much nosier will it be? (The wife already says the standard car is noisy!) If it is then I won't remove it. So basically here's what I'm asking you guys..
1 - How noisy is the car after pre cat removal? Does it sound like the exhaust's blowing or drone on a run?
2 - Is it still worth/ advisable getting the stage 1 done if I don't remove the pre cat?
3 - If I do decide to get it done, can R tech do it for me on re map day?
Cheers for your help!
Ollie
