I know I'm not the only one here that wants an exhaust that wont make a bunch of racket, but will give me better flow. What do you all think of this:

Header (taking suggestions)
CC S-pipe
custom exhaust (2.5" piping)w/ larger resonator and larger muffler. (keep stock cat)

I know with the larger muffler I will lose some flow, but it's worth it to me if I can lose some sound.

 

I haven't heard it yet, but magnaflow for the 1.8t vw was much quiter than the alternatives, and from different reviews it seems that it is the same for the tC. I am going to try it out when my tC arrives. (Schedule delivery 5/26)

the evo2 exhaust is very quiet and should serve your purpose nicely.

 

The Sp2 is very quiet aswell. I just got it for my tC and you cant hardly hear a difference from stock to this.

 

any header will easily double if not triple or quadruple the amount of sound that comes from it. The CC.Com with a resonator & cat hardly makes any noise at all (if there's no header).

I'll see if I can remember to get sound clips of my g/f and my car next to each other. The only difference btw our setups are the intakes and she doesn't have a header and s-pipe. Theres a WORLD of difference.
