Turbobacks

Have a look at this video

APR's 3" turboback system for the mk6 GTi has finally been developed. Sounds great from a distance. But what I'm impressed with in this video is the sound of the stock exhaust system. Although it doesn't sound as meaty, it's louder than other stock cars in a civilized manner. Gear shifts are distinct and wind down the window if you want to amplify it.

I'm not one that can take exhaust drones. It sounds really good, but not suitable for my current start-top driving conditions.

Turbobacks give awesome high end torque due to the 3" pipe as compared to stock's 2.5" thus releasing more exhaust back pressure: crucial for optimizing the turbo's ability. Unfortunately, they are illegal here in Singapore. You can add only a downpipe, but yes, they are also not legal. :(
