So pumped for this! I loved the Switchpath on my Mk7 so I'm a little bummed about no valves but I'm sure it'll sound great either way.

Get the touring edition. The Track has cabin drone and vibrations. Especially between 3200-4200 RPM

Have you got the touring fitted yet? Could you let me know what you think when you do. I am looking for similar to you I think- sounding much more sporty when you open the valves and quiet when your in comfort/valves closed!

Yeah I fitted it the day it came, I so much prefer the sound of the touring edition vs the track. You can actually have a conversation in the car and hear your music.

The valves are open on the OEM system quite often. Consider the Touring Edition, it really is the do it all exhaust for the R without all the fluff.

None sense, buying parts before the car arrives is completely logical. Driving around with the stock exhaust is unfulfilling anyways. 💪

They both burble/backtalk when in sport mode -- how much is just dependent on the amount of throttle given. Sometimes they pop, other time they sound like they're gurgling water :P.

We did not do any coding for the soundaktor. Only thing changed on the vehicle was the exhaust. The vehicle was toggled into "race" mode for the interior WOT segment.

I will have one of these with the track exhaust by the end of the year. You should post a video with a manual, as that is the correct transmission on any performance car. This is the way.

@awetuning
4 ай бұрын
Not as bad as one would expect thanks to the Mk8's formidable cabin insulation. It's always "on" whereas with the Touring Edition, it's more of a light switch effect -- meaning you hit a threshold and a constant speed and the exhaust note is not heard much over the road noise.

@@Jvilleman400 that was my thinking also... you can always drown out the drone with loud music. I ordered the Track Edition yesterday, and slapped a 10" powered sub in the trunk by Audison as soon as I got the R to fix the Harmon Kardon sub that came with it.

it drone's between 3200-4200 RPM, but it's not headache bad... I took a 6 hour trip to Canada and had to turn up my music to drown out the drone. Track edition sounds amazing, but it does introduce vibrations and drone into the cabin. I will be ordering the Touring Edition muffler swap from Track soon. Again, it's not terrible, but for long trips cruising above 3200 RPM it for sure is a little annoying.
