Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Is anyone running the TUV version of the FVD muffler and have a sound clip? Just curious as how much difference in volume they are between stock and sound version.
Was thinking a good set you would be long tube headers, 200 cell cats and the tuv. Version, to tone it down some. Anythoughts?
Cunningr, get the
FVD Sound Version
it is actually not too loud for normal driving, but it gets a NICE sound when you step on the gas.
We live at the very end of a gated community and drove out of the house at 5:30 am for several years and never got a complain from my neighbors
PS: Te va a encantar el sonido del escape, es como deberia de haber salido de la fabrica
If all goes as planned I'll have mine upgraded this week and try to get a sound clip up.
I'm not doing headers. Just catless midpipes and the FVD Sound Version.
I would be interested in hearing that setup. That was my original intent but didnt realize the ROW cars only have 1 set of cats. So reevaluating the exhaust config. Want performance but want to keep the sound levels in check.

Ok cool! Question you drive all over Europe you ever get into Southern Spain?
So I think my exhaust goal will be new headers, 200 cell sport cats and a fvd sound version muffler.
Only around the Pyrenees, Picos and into Portugal around Douro valley and Braganca.
The set up you want won't be too loud. An eBay special topspeed exhaust will be louder but not as nice a tone or noise.
.....my combination is a USA 2004 "S" with the factory headers and cats, a Circuit Werkes secondary pipe that has NO cats, and then the FVD Brombacher "Sound Version" muffler.
So my car has only one set of cats, like a Euro car.
It sounds as perfect as a street car can sound.
You will be pleased.
I have videos of a drive by, but those type of videos on a computer are actually useless in deciding how a car will actually sound underneath you.
