Volkswagen Golf 7.5 GTI 2.0 TSI Full Exhaust Upgrade, turbo to tailpipes

Unlock the soundtrack your hot hatch deserves with this direct-fit stainless steel system for the facelift Golf 7.5 GTI 2.0 petrol. Built by Cobra Sport for drivers who want sharper character, cleaner flow and head-turning looks, this complete exhaust runs from the turbocharger outlet right through to the rear tips, transforming every drive without compromise on build quality.

Fitment

• Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7.5, chassis code 5G, EA888 2.0 TSI
• Years: 2017 to 2020
• Compatibility: suits models without GPF, also known as OPF. Not suitable for later cars equipped with a particulate filter

Why choose this system

• 3 inch, 76.2 mm pipework from the turbo outlet for improved gas flow and a deeper, richer tone
• CNC mandrel bends, precision jig-built and beautifully TIG welded stainless steel for a premium finish
• Choose your sound: resonated for a refined upgrade or non-resonated for a louder, more aggressive note
• Tailpipe choices: 101.6 mm inverted slash cut ends, mirror polished stainless or stealth Blackout ceramic coated finish
• Quality you can trust, fully guaranteed by the manufacturer

Sound testing and cabin refinement

The non-resonated cat-back option lifts the static test by approximately +10.7 dB to 85.2 dB, while the resonated cat-back offers a more subtle increase of around +9 dB to 83.5 dB. During road testing, the resonated variant kept cabin readings in check, peaking around 86.7 dB under load, so long trips remain comfortable while still feeling special.

Weight advantage

Designed with weight saving in mind, the non-resonated cat-back section comes in at roughly 14 kg, around 30 percent lighter than the original OE system.

System layout and options

• Full assembly from the turbo outlet, replaces the factory front section, standard catalytic converter, centre section and rear silencer assemblies
• High-flow sports catalyst option: replaces an emissions device. Not EC homologated and may not meet local road-going emissions rules
• De-cat option: for motorsport and off-road use only worldwide

What’s included

Supplied with all required clamps and hardware for installation, turbo gasket not included.
