Have anybody any numbers about db standard exhaust vs sport and other differences like pipe size and so on? Today I heard for the first time how it sounded with sportexhaust and when driveselect was in dynamic mode it had a good sound but when I switched it to comfort nothing happened at all, same sound, should it be like that? Original exhaust has clear different sound in dynamic mode vs comfort when its pretty quiet. You can hear the exhaustventil opens. Has somebody bought sportexhaust later and what price vs when ordering the car?

There is a massive difference from dynamic to comfort on zorst settings.  Even at idle inside the car with all windows closed

Ok, maybe something wrong than with that car. I have to find another car than to hear the difference. Even with the standard exhaust you can clearly hear it when the ventil is opening and closing.

One thing I have noticed with mine, if you turn the car off when its in dynamic. It will still be in dynamic when you start it back up however I don't think the valves open again properly. You need to put in another mode then back into dynamic and they should open. I think its a software glitch, I am sure the golf R has the same issue

My S1 is the same, and the RS4 I tested at the dealership - it seems to be by design across the VAG range (the Mrs Octavia vRS also was the same). Apparently a quicker way to get them open is to flick to S and back to D again - I've not tried this myself though as not got the car yet!

I can confirm that this works, Jose

I think it was you that had posted the suggestion - couldn't remember who it was at the time - thanks for the confirmation

Mine won't do that. I have to cycle through modes.

[billyali86]

Same

I got told by a stealer that the main difference, aside from the noise, is that the standard exhaust in effect only utilises one tailpipe and sports uses both... Not sure I trust that statement though, think it was possibly a fob-off!

Brace yourself... The stealer doesn't know what he is talking about?!? Shock horror. Mine is standard as definitely uses both tail pipes.

I was at Castle Combe yesterday and was the only RS owner stood watching the parade lap😥😥
However what I did pick up on was how some MkIIs sounded different to others (and I was told later some had the sports exhaust)
Under full chat and exiting a corner you could really tell the difference against a std one....not a test you'd ever really get to witness anywhere else......just an observation which was really interesting

The Mk1 sound differences were unbelievable as infnately variable exhaust mods upgrades and maps on them...same interesting obs

What's it costing you? Dealer fitting it?

[Woodstock25]

Dealer fitting it - just over £1500

Yep exactly the same with mine, bloody annoying, I first noticed it as it wouldn't pop and bang on downshifts, so I cycled through the settings and it was fine. I might just take off the vacuum for the valves because its always in dynamic anyway.

are the valves not electrical?
