Looks good. Does it sound any different. I guess with a pod filter it does.  :undecided:

Some information on the muffler used could be beneficial for some members looking at changing their muffler :) any video so people can get an idea of what it sounds like  :undecided:

FYI the rear muffler is stainless steal 2.5 inch and made very little noise difference so I had the front
Muffler removed as well it's better but not as noise as I would like there is no drone at highway speeds small dct farts when changing gear not as much as VW Golf   I'm half happy  I think the turbo takes a lot of sound away the chrome tips  are dual walled stainless cost $85  each the whole job was $ 720

Thanks, sounds like they used a fairly restricted muffler then did they, not the straight through (turbo) design :undecided:

The front muffler you had removed is also not a muffler, it's a resonator which eliminates mid body resonation noise coming up through the cabin.

It’s a straight through muffler  maybe two small hotdogs on the back like other guys have done would have been noiser but the stainless muffler looks good
