So are the exhaust burbles, crackles and pops gone for good on the RS?
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but did the USA cars always have less exhaust burble, crackle and popping versus the European spec cars or was that a recent change with the EPA thing and the port hold? I don't remember hearing any on my recent test drive of a lightly used TTRS but most of the videos online seem to have some (or alot!) going on in the background. It's not a huge deal either way but it is one of those "fun" noises that if I could enhance or emphasize more I probably would.

I get pops and gurgles when the car is downshifting in sport mode. My car was manufactured after that hold fiasco.

I recently purchased a 2018 TT RS and noticed that it barely has the pops n crackle. Granted I only have 700 miles on her😩. |

This is excellent news. I was a little afraid that had all been legislated out but am very happy to hear that was not the case. I can't wait to start making some noise of my own once my car arrives. :D

Isn't the exhaust noise electronically generated via the same sound system used by the radio? Therefore, Federal regulations do not apply.
