my new 290 is now on 4k miles and I'm getting some seriously loud DSG farts on hard acceleration from 2nd to 3rd gear. some of the pops on the over run are seriously loud aswell. iv ordered the Zaustworx res delete pipe so hopefully this opens it up even more
Mines the same.. just gone past 4500miles and its opened up a bit more, the dsg bangs are pretty loud when you knock the gearbox into S and floor it but its still got nothing on the cupra 300 i had before..you could dsg bang ‘on demand’ in that. Please try and get a video up of the exhaust once you have the res delete fitted. Really want to get it done just want to see if its louder then a standard 300 and is worth doing.
the Zaustworx looks like a bargain!
as with the others, i assume you can refit the Res on at a later date?
yeah i will look at getting some videos up asap, its going in tomorrow.
yes it will be clamped at both ends
I've emailed Zauxworx to ask them how much they charge to supply and fit, im not too far from them.
I only have the Cupra for a week, and, so far I prefer the Cupra. I do miss some of the equiptment the Golf had like reversing camera though. (Car was in stock and front fancy waiting for a factory order) Haven't missed AWD yet, but, as I said, I haven't really pushed the car on yet.
Hope this may help, this is the method I did to unplug mine.
Top left (driver side) you’ll see the sound Aktor behind the black plastic mesh.
1, Remove the foam 1st
2, Remove the Plastic plug as in pic this will release the black plastic mesh I then wedge the plastic mesh up enough to reach the cable plug.
Hopefully this will help you unless you’ve got man size finger unlike my girly hands haha.
Job done!

Hi, how do u unplug the plastic plug behind the mesh...had a go last night but couldn't get the plug out. Just about got my hand through the gap but had no luck.
cheapest way would be be a Zaustworx res delete pipe, I paid £65 for mine and £20 for a garage to fit it. best cheap mod i think you can do
I haven’t got my car yet and have only seen pictures of the exhaust.
does the mod require the exhaust to be cut and welded at any point or can it be clamped/screwed in place? Thinking for ease of reverting the mod if you felt it was too loud.
one end of the original exhaust needs cut the other is already clamped. when i got mine fitted the workshop clamped both ends so i can replace resonator come hand back time
