Why are you telling them? It’s completely undetectable.Curious to know if anyone who has it done has notified their insurers?
For what I think is essentially a cosmetic mod, my insurers are charging me double!!!

Either that or I suggest you change insurers. My remap cost me £90 a year on my premium.

What would they see?Undetectable? Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't the insurers just look under the car?

I always get any mods declared with insurance. Even if they are not immediately obvious. Imagine if through no fault of your own you ended up running some kid down. The insurers and police would strip your car down to the bare bolts to try and pin it on you!What would they see?

You’ll love it mate. It sounds like a Lambo.
Watched the vid on YouTube of yours being done, what’s the difference in comfort like? The misses drives mine sometimes and I’m hoping the mod to leave it a bit quieter for when she’s driving
You got any vids from the outside of acceleration for comparison?
Cheers
Wow, my stage 1 PFL with secondary decats was insanely loud. Can't imagine what all that and a PCW mod would sound like!I've had mine done by Paul. Its worth the money for sure. Clips never do it justice either
My car is a PFL and has the sports exhaust and Secondary de-cat pipes and it sounds perfect now to me. Still quiet in comfort no drone at all, and deeper and more throaty in Dynamic.
One thing to note is it will get louder over a couple of weeks, the difference may not be night and day to start with but does get better and better.

No worries!
I'm going seeing Paul to have the mod tomorrow, so will feed back my thoughts. I'm currently unemployed so the flexibility of being able to see him in midweek means I've got in there less than a week after contacting him (cancellation slot) winning
£350 from memory I think he charges and he only takes cash. However we had two done at the same time so I think it was £300 each.I got one in March now on a weekday afternoon. Random question but how do you pay him? By cash?

Having heard what I assume was a stock sports exhaust RS3 go past me today, I have to say that it didn't sound like it needed improving! Such a distinctive sound, you know without looking that it's the Audi 5-pot. I'm not sure there's many other engines on the market from any manufacturer that is more distinctive.
I had a PFL with Audi sports exhaust. I then did the secondary decats.You had the mod done when you already had the sports exhaust and secondary decats? I thought this mod was for cars with the standard exhaust to turn them into what the sports exhaust sounds like! I also have a valve controller which I’m loving, I’d love to know how this improved things even further for you!!
Afaik sports is better than standard exhaust but the PCW mod makes them both the same as the baffles etc are cut out.You had the mod done when you already had the sports exhaust and secondary decats?

I had people hanging out of their cars either taking a pic or video footage! Tbf though I used to take it out of gear and rev it a bit on the move + dummy launches when sat at lights etc!I agree with you which is why I've chosen a later date to get it. I'll enjoy the stock sound now then in end of March/early April I'll get the mod. As I wrote in the other thread, I have noticed people looking at the car while driving past. A car behind me yesterday at the lights started revving at me so I started revving back. You get some nice pops in Neutral. He looked like he was enjoying it.

Today I went under a bridge with the pan roof open and revved it and wow it was loud. You never get the true sound from videos. I can't imagine how it'll be like after the PCW mod.
Also can you guys confirm if its still quiet in comfort mode after the mod?

It's still much quieter in comfort mode (at least it is with my stock exhaust) - my missus hasn't complained about the noise whereas she does in dynamic haha
