gti got louder after full service.
-> 206 Problems

Had full service last week and ever since the car is quite a bit louder, it sounds meatier and almost as good as a performance exhaust. It doesn't sound like the exhaust is akblowing.

The only thing I can think of that can alter the sound is The air filter, so would going from an old dirty filter to new make such a dramatic round difference.?

One other thing exhaust related is that my cat heat shield fell off today but it's been louder for over a week.

Any thoughts?

Check the air box has been tightened if it's loose it tends to be louder

Bet its the exhaust someone will have whacked it one. Put a cloth over your exhaust pipe and you can tell where it is blowing from.
