golf mk7 gtd sound actuator

[oscar.neill]

Will the UK spec golf mk7 gtd come with the sound actuator? As i have seen a video on youtube of a german GTD and it comes with the sound actuator.

IF not are they hard to get fitted?

Can anyone answer my question?

As far as we understand it, no it doesn't come with the full sound actuator, which is actually a totally different exhaust system, so not exactly a cheap or easy retro fit (see below)

But.... the sound actuator kit is in 2 parts. One, the exhaust above is designed to give the car a sporty sound externally, and two, the structure borne sound actuator which is mounted in the base of the windscreen, and is designed to resonate the glass to give a sporty sound inside of the car (see below)

As I understand it, the structure born sound actuator we will get, but the external sound actuator we won't - unless anyone knows differently ?

GTD for the UK gets the structure-borne actuator, my dad's GTD has it. Doesn't sound as pronounced as the one on my Scirocco 170TDI.

Sounds like a tractor to me.

If such a thing would interest you, the new Nov pricelist shows an "exhaust sound actuator" for the GTD for £255. Based on other threads it seems unlikely that this places a speaker in the actual exhaust system though the brochure itself could be clearer..

thanks i just seen the price list there. It says Sport and Sound Pack to increase noise in sport mode.
I already have my GTD could i give my car to VW garage to be fitted with this extra or do they not do this??
