I did the "unplug connector in the boot" version of the golf tee mod and noticed that the exhaust sounds a bit louder during regular driving. And I think I get more "pops" when decelerating.

Here's a good guide on how to do it (takes 2 minutes) to do:

Yeah read a bit of this thread earlier today. Has yours rattled at all after you unplugged it?
