You can do both!
When you get bored of the noise from one end remove the exhaust!

You can buy custom exhaust system which can be nice sound. There not all loud but people on here who have got one can tell you the make.

IMO you don't lose anything, you just gain more awesome noise. With a cone the induction noise on a GTi is always going to be loud, but with the pops and bangs it's even better. I loved mine with the decat and Mongoose.

After going the stainless route and now being back on a standard exhaust I would say stay as you are or get the absolute quietest stainless/decat system you can find. IMO induction roar is better than most exhaust noise on these cars plus you can drive on the motorway and talk to your passengers at the same time.
Serious.
