I met up with MIRSAD early last year to compare rattles in our GTIs - they were pretty much identical. I then discussed the issue with Quattro Motors in Burswood, who put me in contact with a guy that had fitted the APR turbo back exhaust and the Carbonio CAI. We met up and I took his car for a drive. It's true, I couldn't hear the rattle in his car, but the exhaust is LOUD compared to stock, and the CAI aspiration may have disguised it further. His GTI is no longer understated - it's a beast that will get attention from all directions when you push the accelerator. The DSG "fart" is now more of an explosion that rattles window frames as you drive through suburbia. Pretty wild, and definitely not my cup of tea.

If you want to meet up, just PM me and I'm sure we could go for a spin.
