I've done just under 1k in mine with standard exhaust and I like the sound it makes stock. It's a lot louder and lively than I expected from comments in this forum.

Got mine done about a month ago... wish I didn’t, drone at 80+ pain in backside, it does pop in cupra mode but irritating in other modes!

I’ve had mine done a few months now too, it definitely drones at 75mph +

Town driving and small journeys are so bad but motorway driving can be a pain.

Also, I get a hissing sound when in 3/4 gear and low revs on acceleratoration? Any ideas? Might be a case of it blowing slightly?

Not sure if its just me but these compared to the pre res delete sound the same. Maybe a few more pops but other than that very similar. Perhaps the phone recording doesn't allow for the difference in volume between the two. There are definitely more pops post res delete though.

The phone recording doesnt do it justice, maybe if i sat the phone directly behind the car. the good thing with it is there isnt a huge difference but enough to put a smile on your face. much throatier and pops and bangs are more pronounced. for £100 all in its worth it
