This "pop" sound is make iconic especially on the more performance oriented models of Volkswagen group, namely the Golf GTi.
This "pop" sound is also known as the DSG fart. All VW model with DSG gearbox will have this "fart". Its only a matter of loudness. It is more pronounced on the performance oriented models and very much lesser on the regular models.
How does a DSG fart sounds like? Take a look at the video below and tell me is the sound addictive?
In order to make this "fart" louder, there is a few ways to go about it.
Either you can go down the route of a full exhaust system change or you can do it the budget way.
As for me, I do not really see the need to go for a full exhaust change on the Jetta partly due to one reason, the tiny 1400cc engine. As wonderful as this piece of EA111 engine is, at the end of the day, its major drawback is its small capacity engine.
So what I did was to go the budget way to make this "fart" sound more pronounce.
I did a resonator delete.
The resonator is highlighted in the picture below.
A more close up of the resonator.
The resonator is removed and replaced with a straight thru pipe. The end result is that you get a louder more pronounce "fart" and yet there is not much drone if you are cruising at speed.
The end result is as below.
This is how it will sound like.
Total damage?
About RM 200 for this trill.
P/S - I will take a better video once I get my car as it is now literally a public property.
