Thanks to Carl from Clearmounts I now have a Magnaflow exhaust. I just installed it in my driveway and I think it took me entirely like an hour to install. Was very easy for me although I am a mechanic by nature.
I found the sound to be very mellow and deep but not anywhere near as loud as I expected it to be. With any music playing on the radio and windows up I can't even hear the exhaust.
You can also see the mounts for the Curt class 1 trailer hitch I installed as well. I believe the Curt part number was 113992 if I remember correctly. The part number ended in a "2" for the 2" ball mount in my case.
Wow cool! I can't believe you installed it yourself. It should get louder as you break it in. Btw was that my Clearmounts holding your phone? If so please post a review! I'm happy the exhaust worked out!
I am a mechanic by nature. The exhaust was a very easy install. The stock clamp joining the two pipes was plenty long enough to cover the gap as well. Now I look forward to ordering the down pipe and possibly the bigger turbo and installing them after my deployment.
I have a Magnaflow on my 2014 VW GLI (Ordered a 2017 S3) which has the same engine.
My thoughts, great sound but not too loud with spirited driving and using manual mode on. Has a bit of drone if left in auto transmission mode, especially in 4/5/ gears around town and at constant highway speeds. It gets louder as the miles pile on.
