neither. 
I would keep money in back pocket for catback and other mods.

Cat-back does nothing but makes sounds and cosmetics.
Get tires. Good ones, extreme performance and never look back.

I can tell you that a cat-back exhaust makes a difference in power if you already have a 3" downpipe fitted. Since you have the CTS Turbo DP, I'd seriously look into a catback to complete the exhaust setup.
To answer your actual question between a TOP and a DV+, assuming you already have a Rev D DV as stock, I would most definitely get the TOP. Throttle response is better and you can actually "feel" the difference in your daily driving.

TOP without a doubt. Done both on IHI and the TOP is one of the best value for money mods so far

if the question presented is: "what is the best use of my money" and the options are:
DV+,
TOP,
Catback (after saving),
Tires (after saving).
Then only one of these that offers a "night and day" difference in the feel/performance of a car.
Both the catback and TOP might offer 5hp... might... the DV+ will just give you a little extra boost... The tires will make a massive difference from braking, acceleration, handling and steering response.

Oh? Does your "butt" dyno tell you a cat-back gives more horsepowersssss? You're joking, right?
NeoSA, Oh by the way, hows your traction? Do you also complain about 1st and 2nd being useless like 95% of the K04/K04 hybrid users? Mm.

No, I know how to drive properly. What's your point, mate? Do you understand the concept that you can add modifications to a car that do not necessarily add more power, but instead improve other aspects of the car's performance such as road-holding and responsiveness - which in turn leads to more efficient use of the car's current power, leading to a faster, better driving car?
Sorry, I still cannot take someone seriously who drives a GTi that tries to look like a Subaru. It's like getting sex advice from Barney the Dinosaur.

Except majority of the enthusiast go with street stuff, and performance suffers, and you're more than likely one of them too.
And Subaru you say? If you say so, thanks for viewing my build thread btw, much outdated

If you say so.
Not even sure why I'm responding to some random person in South Africa whos making claims of a cat-back adding more horsepowerzz. I suppose the "butt" dyno of yours can accurately predict CHP and WHP, right? You can go ahead and live with that thought while others say otherwise
