RyboNashy02 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hi... yes... me again! Wondering what kind of exhaust system would best suit my car? Pretty quiet atm and I'd like to make it a fair bit louder! Been looking at Hornet as a viable option but I dont know if there are other companies that are better? Do I go for a full exhaust swap or start with the resonator? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 If you just want noise the Hornet is fine. But they drone badly, particularly while cruising at speed. I prefer Milltek myself but have had a few different brands over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyboNashy02 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 I commute quite far on a daily basis, so the drone would tick me off fairly quickly. Would i get away with doing the resonator only or would you recommend the full kit? Is it lightweight? Do they keep a steady flow and not back up fumes? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you're probably better off just trying a backbox first to see how you get on with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sports cat is only really necessary when chasing power. I wouldn't go to the expense of one when you're only really going to increase noise on this engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant tell as its right in the middle of them both Could be either as there were still a few Mk6s being registered that late. They look totally different though so easy to tell visually. The Mk6 is very square, whereas the Mk7 is very rounded. Mk6 Mk7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyboNashy02 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 Definitely the Mk 7! soo a Ti-VCT with 118 bhp 😄 Thanks bud, really helped me out there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
