Thanks for this. Seems subtly improved. Any further thoughts on day 2? So how big is this resonator and where is it located. Mid car?

That resonator delete, APR intake and a Soundkator dial back might be the go.

Mid car, 60cm long and according to the Briskoda forums, about 10-12kg!

Is it on the Mk 2 also?

Your no resonator almost sounds a little bit raspy?

Yep, there's a huge one under the rear seat.

You really need a bit of mileage before making a decision as they soot-up and change pitch.

As brad said, the 2nd resonator under the rear passenger seat is big - tis sometimes referred to as the 'suitcase '.

The one zee left is the oem catback (muffler + resonator).....



U can see the apr version here, to give u an exact location......

Has anyone replaced the stock resonator with a hotdog? In some vehicles this improves the sound of the exhaust without adding any resonance or drone.

The resonator on the mk3 is huge, longer than 60 cm i say and is quite heavy. They are not round but triangular.

Now, after few days living with it, there wasn't any considerable change in the exhaust note itself. The odd resonance is still there and to be honest I'm not liking it, it's borderline raspy. Having said that, as brad said, I'm going to let the pipe soot-up and see how it goes.

The car sounds absolutely marvelous during WOT though. More reason to break the speed limit .

Emmo: I've been thinking of the same thing, perhaps a smaller resonator compare to the OEM one. I have no experience with this, perhaps someone here has done it and able to share their result?

While researching for exhaust, I came across this Bull x Exhaust system for Octavia RS Mk3. Complete with video.
