That really is a nice looking custom exhaust. Welds and bends are on point. I'm just not a fan of having loud noise 100% of the time, which is why I opted for an exhaust cutout on my MK7 GTI. Catless downpipe, with an exhaust cutout welded into the end of the downpipe, and then that downpipe is mated with the OEM factory exhaust the rest of the way down. Purrs on normal driving without any annoying loudness, and then a flip of a switch, and the cutout shakes the entire car, as well as gives it a very distinctive sound that only my GTI makes, as the cutout faces towards the bottom of the road, and echoes off the road while on WOT.

Golf R doesn't have the front VAQ diff the tcr, gti performance and cupra have. I've got a stage 1 cupra which puts its power down with no issues from 2nd gear onwards. Good tyres and modulating the throttle help. Can't just mash your foot into the carpet when you're fwd
