The cat back system I got come from a German exhaust company called Friedrich Motorsport specifically designed for the St300 4Drive, they have plenty of clips on utube....the tips came chrome but it wasn’t my thing so I sprayed them black.

which option did you go for? Finding the website very confusing lol and also I thought a catback would fail the mot? Useless with exhaust knowledge

Won't fail mot as its from the cat back, so the cat will still be in place

Ahh I see, how do I know if I want one of those or a non res or resonated one though is the problem I have had a resonator delete with my current exhaust so I’m assuming that it essentially a non resonated setup I have but I still find it a bit tame

Is there any drone with a res delete. I may be tempted for a trip to vag Manchester if drone isnt too intrusive and the misses won't notice. I can hear her now, "how much for a metal pipe!?!?"
There's always an element of drone, but on mine, I really cant hear it when crusing. Only when accelerating rather hardly. When sat at 70mph, I really can't tell I have res delete - it's hard to explain. And it took a few days to become less raspy and more natural sounding.

I don't want to speak for Damo but I think he was shocked at first but it's slowly growing on him.

Are you coming to the meet tomorrow?

Remind me, what's an indicator?

Mines a Golf R exhaust on the Carbon so not a fair comparison. It’s definetly got 100% better since it’s had a few heat cycles. Weird for just a pipe..:

FR but catback system with a delete, in eco, tiniest amount of drone but honestly not noticeable really day to day. Driving like a normal person it's pretty quiet especially once it warms up. Only audible on startups, when the car is dead silent (no radio etc) or when your putting your foot down. Definitely audible in sport as it goes into higher revs which is what you want anyway.

Plan on coming but will be late arriving due to other commitments. I'm hoping to be there for 2pm.

I can have a listen to vag manc deletes and maybe find another 280/290 St with res delete on a oem exhaust system for review ;)
Apolgies but is this a forum meet? I feel like I saw something about a Jan meet but I can't find the thread anywhere.

If you do find a 280 ST on a OEM exhaust with a Res Delete, could you please take a video and share?? I would be very interested to hear it. I have a a 280 ST and NEED more noise but cant justify the outlay for a cat-back system at the moment.

Thank you

You would end up sounding very similar to this, if memory serves me right the 280 ST and 290 ST had the same exhausts. the 280 ST had only 1 resonator but the 280 hatchback had 2 resonators. The 290 was when both hatch and ST had 1 resonator.
