After having my resonator deleted for quite a while I realized that the noise increase wasn’t what I was expecting or craving. It got to the point when my mother stepped in the car and asked me “So you did something to the exhaust right? I don’t really notice anything”. When your mother can’t even recognize it, there is a problem.
She is going to notice this:
I went to the same muffler shop as before and again got a great price. They crafted a piece that looked 100% stock (What I wanted) whilst just being a straight pipe. The main issue with solely the resonator delete was the fact that the MK7 Golf is unbeiliably silent on the inside. I really couldn’t tell the difference thanks to the refinement of the hatchback, but all that changed when I turned the key for the first time.
It isn’t deafening by any means, but you notice it. Underway I realized that the vibration and overall noise is most apart in first and second gear and can be droned out by music or getting into a higher gear. When I went into the underground car park of my apartment building I could not believe the noises coming form this 1.4. It’s god damn evil.
If I do get tired of the noise I will change it back, but for now I will enjoy this much needed change.

Haha... no you’re not..... climbing areas are pretty esoteric... if you aren’t a climber how would you know...
But since you live there, you should think about getting into climbing-- I’ve never checked that zone out, but I hear it’s sweet!

Its probably at this point that you wish you left the resinator in there and only deleted the muffler. Resinators don’t so much quiet down the overall noise level as remove some of the higher frequencies, eliminate drone and raspyness. Though as long as you have your stock downpipe it’ll probably be OK

I was thinking just that, if I do get tired of the drone I will get the resonator in there to see if I can find a nice medium.
