Has anyone deleted just the resonator(s) on their type R?

[mdm24]

Like many I’m looking for a bit more exhaust sound after having the car for less than a week. I’m worried the muffler delete will be too loud but can’t find any video clips of just a resonator delete. I did this on my golf R and it sounded great but that had active exhaust valves to reduce drone.

Otherwise I am loving this car!

I got all resonators delete.
I love the sound, but i got also downpipe. If you have OEM downpipe the sounds is different and more quiet.

Do you have any videos?

I am planning to install one vibrant ultra quiet resonator in place of the oem mid resonator and go from there. Depending on the sound I might get rid of the other small resonator near the front pipe.

The first thing I did was remove the small front resonator and the center back resonator, the ending sound was a deep bass sound definitely louder than stock , and after a while I decided to remove the middle front large resonator because I were looking for louder and little scream sound, and yes! now is louder but not obnoxious launder, screams a little bit at high rpm and also deep bass, but remember I got GRP downpipe, without the downpipe the sound is muffler . The downpipe play an important role.

I will fine the samples after and before remove all the resonators.

Hey, where did you get your GRP downpipe?

I bought it direct from @GrahamRahalPerformance

Yeah, I went to their website but all I see is the full exhaust with the downpipe for $2895. I also see the turbo blanket for it but no downpipe by itself.

Having a hard time deciding which of these options to do... or deleting the mufflers. I guess it should be reversible worst case scenario.

I think the cheapest way is the resonators, I spend $52 for remove the resonators. And sound? is just play and taste. All the resonators and muffler for the type R are strength pipe with holes (inside) is whole high flow exhaust.

I deleted just the large resonator, everything else is stock. It’s a nice increase in sound and tone, subtle but noticeable. No significant drone either.

Sounds great!, In person sounds a lot better, (Whit headphones too) Nice!, Now you have a reference, you know if you keep removing resonator it tendency to be more loud and raspy like mine.
