Hello!
Im writing this, because I was looking for Golf Variant catback for a long time while back. I came across on this site looking for
help and info. I studied every post and it was super helpful.
I got my hands on one of those exhausts from 2019 Golf R Variant. Went through 3 differents setups referring to middle silencer.
First I tried no middle silencer, but it was ultra loud and not suitable for daily cruising around.

Then I put 2.75' middle silencer, to silence things up but it still was quite loud. Still not something that I was looking for.

Finally I went for my oe middle silencer lying in the abbys of my garage and that was the best choice. It silenced whole exhaust and made it more bass and less metalic, don't get me wrong, it still is loud under load, but comparing to 2.75' middle silencer there is 80% less noise inside the cabin. Now its almost like stock cupra inside while outside you can hear pleasant sound.

In addition I have turbo swap for Garrett Powermax 1 on all those videos, which increases slightly volume of the exhaust, so if you have IS38 it may be a little less noisy.
Thanks all for this site
Cheers
