Hi.
I managed to do the resonator delete on my 2019 gti OPF myself. The job itself is very easy as you only need to cut the exhaust on one side only and the way i did it is reversible too in case you don't like it. I purchased a perfect fit replacement pipe (different dimension on either side) with the fitting clamp that didn't even require exhaust paste or anything. Like i said if you know how to cut the exhaust pipe it's the easiest mod ever. Cost me around £65 for the kit/ parts.
Sound wise, it's difficult to explain as it reacts and behaves differently depending on the speed, gear and acceleration, definitely has more -well deserved- character now. It sounds louder but only when pushed hard and quiets down at high revs, so more noticeable when pushing hard mid revs. The sound is actually very similar to the sound aktor trick built into the car. I turn that off and it sounds very close to that as if i left it on.
Farts and crackles are a bit more noticeable but still don't happen often enough.
Hope this info helps someone

I hope to do this mod myself at some point in the future. Could you please share what kit you used and where from?
Also, can you explain what you mean that only one cut is needed? From what I understand the whole exhaust is one joint piece so would need two cuts, one on either side of the silencer, is this not the case?

Hi.
I got it off ebay, item 153692204546 (search for 2019 polo gti resonator delete), perfect fit as pipes on either side of the resonator are of different thickness.
Yes only need to cut exhaust pipe from one end (after the resonator) as the resonator is connected to the OPF with a joint on the other end. Once you loosen off the bolts, it comes off on that side. so all you need to do is slide the straight pipe (mod) into the joint and tighten again.
After the resonator is a straight pipe all the way to the rear box, hence it needs to be cut there as there is no joint, just straight metal pipe.

Thanks for that. Very tempted to go out and get one now.

I also found out that remapping for this car is slowly becoming more available, apparently some 40bhp and 100nm torque can be unleashed without any extra mods!!

Yeah I've been following the scene waiting for the ECU to be cracked and then see what kind of things these modders can start unlocking.
I won't be modding my car engine or performance-wise until after the 3 years mark as I want to keep most of the warranty intact. Don't mind modding the exhaust as that is something very unlikely to fail in the first 3 years and if it did fail it is relatively cheaper to replace than an engine.
Hoping after 3 years of ownership that the mods for this car will be well and truly worked out and have a lot of stuff to choose from.

I've ordered this as well, hopefully it arrives either this week or next week. Im really looking forward to hearing this! I can't promise I'll make a before and after vid, but I'll try to remember.

So did you have it fitted?.. do you like it?
I'm liking mine more and more since first fitted
Next thing for me: a remap !! - 250bhp

How is it that people are complaining about the lack of crackles and pops with their new Polo's?
The Grandson has just got himself a brand new Ford Fiesta ST and that has all the crackles and pops? He's 24 and he loves it, me, when your engine did that, there was something wrong with it, and you were worried it would blow the exhaust.

It’s probably an age thing. I have no desire for crackles, pops or ‘DSG farts’ (as they’re often referred to on some other VW forums) from any car I might own. But then, I’m old

The Corsa VRX and Fiesta ST are definitely aimed at a younger audience, for hanging around in Halfords or McDonalds car parks late at night. Even the non performance variants try to look sporty with exhausts at least twice the size they need to be for the output - VW and Audi also at it with "R-line" and "S-line" sheep in wolf's clothing variants.
The Polo is a lot more muted (especially WLTP compliant GPF fitted variants) than it need be if it were aimed at 17-25 year olds. Anyone wanting a really loud VW usually has yo get an aftermarket exhaust.

Regarding OPF and exhaust sound.
I recently put full turbo-back exhaust and remap to my Polo GTI, now is sounds properly!

Sounds lovely but unfortunately I don’t think I would get away with turning up to work like that
I just want mine to have the DSG “farts” back but I can’t find a way of getting that without making the whole thing sound too loud!

A successful upgrade, very nice sound!
"Valve open" and "valve closed" means selecting "normal" and "sport" mode via the drive mode selector
or is there a separate valve opening/closing button that comes with the exhaust?
Also, you remapped the car's ECU or installed a tuning box? What's the estimated BHP now?

Thanks a lot
It is a separate system because Polo does not have valve in stock exhaust. We offer remote control with ON/OFF buttons.
I have a remap from a local company MW Motorline and now it produces 270HP and 475Nm
