PLEASE READ THE FULL REVIEW Decided to remove res and muff with magnaflow installed instead of where res used to be. So I turned it on and it sounded. Well everyone including me was impressed. Shortly after I left, I was immediately annoyed with the drone. Especially at certain speeds. But those DCT switch farts were so loud that some have had their ears plugged. I started researching and many VW owners have said that it helps to get rid of squeaks and hum and to muffle it. So I bought it and it arrived a few days early. A HARRYING WEEK LATER I FINALLY INSTALLED IT, and what a difference! It was too quiet :(. BUT it killed all the rumble and scrape. It's installed a few inches from the exhaust tip. It got louder about a couple of weeks after it was broken in. But the noise in the cab hasn't changed much Finally I can listen to cool music!By the way, I still occasionally hear exhaust noises etc. Warning: you can smell something burnt out of the exhaust.It's a muffler/resonator hybrid.It's surprisingly good for the price.And it's brilliant!
