Scorpion Resonator Delete

Today I finally got around to installing the Scorpion resonator delete on the GTI—and wow, what a difference.

Inside was the Scorpion resonator delete pipe—sleek, solid, and ready to replace the bulky factory resonator.

Also had to do some prep-work before installing the new pipe.

I’ve included two clips to give you the full before-and-after effect.

Swapping it in was straightforward, and the payoff was immediate. The car now has a far more aggressive tone, and for the first time, I can clearly hear the exhaust from inside the cabin. Under load, where it used to be subtle (almost too subtle), it now makes its presence known. In the best way.

The DSG shifts are sharper and louder, and in park, it even spits out some pops and bangs that are genuinely grin-worthy.

So far, I haven’t noticed any drone in Drive. Around town it’s tame, but when you push it—it delivers.

I also edited a video if you'd like to listen to a direct comparison
