VW Golf R (Mk7.5) Estate 2.0 TSI (18-20) Resonator Delete Performance Exhaust

Unlock the soundtrack of your Golf R 7.5 Estate with a high-flow centre section upgrade

Transform the character of your 2018, 2019 or 2020 2.0 TSI 4Motion wagon with this premium mid-section straight pipe from Cobra Sport. Built from T304 stainless with precision CNC mandrel bends and a 69.9 mm, 2.75 inch bore, it replaces the restrictive centre silencer for smoother gas flow and a richer, sportier exhaust note. Expect a deeper tone, more presence on throttle, and enhanced crackles on lift-off while retaining your factory tailpipes and overall OE look.

We fit these on customer Mk7.5 R estates regularly at MJ Modifications and feedback has been outstanding. If you want an affordable, quick-to-install sound upgrade that maintains daily drivability but adds serious theatre when you want it, this is the go-to centre pipe.

What you will experience

On the Mk7.5 R estate, this centre section delivers a deeper bass at idle, a stronger growl under load, and a more aggressive character on upshifts and lift-off. It keeps cabin boom in check yet gives the EA888 the soundtrack it deserves. A fantastic value sound upgrade for daily drivers and weekend toys alike.
