Is there any drone in the cabin?

Very small amount at around 3k when on the throttle, when at part throttle it's almost stock.

My previous car had a full decat header back so I may be used to the occasional drone though.

While easy to delete, the OEM resonator prevents drone.....so when you get rid of it, yes you'll have drone

While true, you still have a turbo, 2x cats and a muffler. It'll never be as bad as an n/a decatted system hahaha

Ah yea well I had considered it but I couldn't remember if I had read it droned or not. I do a lot of highway driving so I think it's probably about time for just a cat delete...

Thanks for posting this, I was searching far and wide for more vids of this type of setup.

In my MK7 deleting the resonator did next to nothing! But with these it definitely makes a big difference it seems.

For ~50-70 bucks to run to a shop for 15 minutes this seems worth it :)

You guys have it good with labour, I was charged over £100 for an hours welding including the pipe.

Everything is cheaper in the USA lol, a full tank of fuel costs me £70, which is $87 for 98 RON (I think 93AKI?)

That's crazy! Part availability is great where you are too, especially with the extended warranties you get on manifolds etc. You get none of that over here because nobody cries to lawyers which is a shame haha

I just put in like 12.96 USD (change from a transaction) and got 4.66 US gallons ($2.78 a gallon, technically $2.77999)

Thats basically 17.64002 liters at $0.73 a liter.

true, however, drone tolerance is a big thing. I personally dont mind my loud ass downpipe + res. delete combo although some may thing its too loud. I find that if your on the highway my car only drones under moderate load, i think its worth it for the awesome sound
