I think the N54 sounds better, IMO.

That does sound good. You can really hear the whistle and I think the exhaust sounds a little better than a N54 exhaust. Its hard to tell though without hearing them side by side.

The car was cold when that video was taken. An engine will sound completly different once its warmed up. I personally discard that video in its entirety.

sounds similar to n54. a little more of the snorty snort snort noise.

This car also has the golf-T mod. Thats why its louder. Says so in the begining of the video.

I think the center resonator might be gone too. Normally you do not hear the turbos whistle up/down like that.

Here's another one of the N55...

+1. Sounds more high pitched than the n54. The first video sounded almost close to an SRT-4 with an exhaust.

DTNJNQ · 04-27-2010, 08:31 AM

Sounds like a truck

oztiks · 04-27-2010, 08:31 AM

Sounds like me when I wake up..

mineo77 · 04-27-2010, 08:55 AM
