The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

[Gordonovski]

It's definitely more subtle than I was expecting but I'm not chocking that up as a bad thing, I held off on doing it for so long (really since I got the MKV in like 2013) because I was worried about it being irritating in a daily driver.

Prolly not gonna mess with the exhaust. The best option is the OEM Clubsport but idk where to actually buy one without having to ship it from Latvia. All of the namebrand aftermarket stuff is priced like it's made out of platinum. I like the idea of sticking a cutout between the resonator and rear muffler to have braps-on-demand but I know good and well it'd leak and be a PITA when the valve was closed. Some people cut out the resonators but it doesn't make a huge difference and might introduce some drone, other people hack off the rear can, but that takes it too far for a DD.

I'd love an OEM Golf R exhaust if I could make the adjustable flaps work with the built in driving modes, but I'm not sure if that's even possible and I'd have to buy a new rear valance to make it work. Maybe if I trip over someone selling an OEM R exhaust for cheap I'll explore it more.

It's a little bit more whooshy when you want it to be but not annoying.

The exhaust itch has been nagging at me too, but in my quest for power and ruining my warranty, I think the $700-900 would be better used in a downpipe to get that full stage 2 jawnz going. Something I'll probably consider and go back and forth on for 4 months then never do, then get bored one Saturday next year and go buy it from NGP. We'll see.

Did schedule an appointment with Justin's tint guy to get that done on the 25th - probably just going with the legal limit, I'm already sick of getting in an 100 degree car.

Joey, update your damn signature and quit saying you own my car.
