Default Exhaust

Hey,

Really enjoying the TT.
Again, thanks for all the good info you guys lay out there. It was very instrumental in my buying decision.

A couple things I've noticed regarding the exhaust (stock).

Sounds awesome on cold start up for about 30 secs. then quiets down a lot.
Is this due to the heat expansion of the internals?

There is a slight rattle after warm p at 1K rpm. Normal?

Car has 5K miles on it. Will the exhaust sound better after more miles?

This is an AWESOME car!! Coming off a '73 S I'm spoiled with the exhaust note of that car.

I have a feeling I'll be calling Europipe soon!

Thanks again

Due to emissions requirements a electric pump injects air into the exhaust ports at start-up. This is the sound that you are hearing.

Save your pennies and buy a Europipe.

Europipes...they just keep getting better with age. The stock ones do not improve with age.
