Transform the sound and feel of your Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI

Unlock a deeper, richer exhaust note and a sharper drive with this premium UK-made catback system for the Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI 2.0 turbo petrol EA888. Crafted from high grade stainless steel with precision mandrel bends, this bolt-on rear section upgrade replaces the middle and rear sections to deliver that addictive GTI soundtrack without compromising day-to-day refinement.

Why GTI owners choose this system

• Stainless steel 76.2 mm pipework for smooth gas flow and a purposeful tone
• Choice of sound level. Resonated for subtle sophistication or non-resonated for a more aggressive soundtrack with the centre silencer removed
• Noticeable weight saving. Around 30 percent lighter than stock at only 14 kg
• Beautiful 101.6 mm inverted slash-cut tailpipes. Polished stainless or stealthy black ceramic
• Expertly TIG welded and jig built for factory-like fitment
• All clamps and gaskets supplied for a straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed for the 5G chassis GTI from 2012 to 2017, including:

Sound and character

• Non-resonated catback: increases volume by approximately +10.7 dB to 85.2 dB at 4,000 rpm. Sharper, sportier tone
• Resonated catback: increases volume by approximately +9 dB to 83.5 dB at 4,000 rpm. Deep, refined note for daily driving
• Road testing showed comfortable cabin levels with the resonated option under cruise, with peak readings around 86.7 dB under full load

Built to perform

This catback runs from after the catalytic converter, replacing the centre section and rear silencer for improved flow. CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel and meticulous TIG welding ensure durability and a premium finish that looks as good as it sounds.
