VW Golf R (Mk7) 2.0 TSI (5G) (12-18) Resonator Delete Performance Exhaust

Transform the soundtrack of your Golf R with a centre box delete mid-pipe

Give your 2.0 TSI 5G-chassis hot hatch the voice it deserves. This Cobra Sport centre section upgrade replaces the factory centre silencer on the Golf R Mk7, unlocking a deeper, more aggressive tone with enhanced turbo character, crackles and pops on overrun, and smoother throttle response. Built for enthusiasts who want a serious sound upgrade while retaining the original rear silencers and tips.

Why enthusiasts choose this mid-section upgrade

• Constructed from CNC mandrel bent T304 stainless steel for durability and smooth flow
• True 2.75 inch 69.9 mm bore size for reduced restriction and improved gas velocity
• Removes the centre silencer for a richer, louder, sportier exhaust note
• Noticeably deeper tone with enhanced crackles and pops compared to stock
• Supplied with all required fittings and gaskets for installation
• Pairs perfectly with future cat back or turbo back upgrades

Fitment and compatibility

• Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf R Mk7 5G 2.0 TSI, model years 2012 to 2018
• Fits cars without GPF or OPF only
• Designed to connect to the original factory system
• The OEM tube requires a cut to install this centre section

What to expect

The straight-through centre section removes the restrictive silencer found in the stock mid-pipe, delivering smoother flow and more immediate power delivery. Volume increases without drone dominating the cabin, and the tone gains a deeper, more purposeful character that suits the EA888 turbo four. It is an ideal first step for owners who want a meaningful sound enhancement now with the option to add a cat back later.
