Volkswagen Polo GTI AW Mk6 2.0 TSI Turbo 2017+ GPF/PPF Back Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust, Cobra Sport 3" (76.2mm) Centre & Rear Back Box System, Cat Back Alternative, EA888 Upgrade, Optional 4" Carbon Tailpipes

Transform the soundtrack of your Volkswagen hot hatch with this stainless PPF-back sports system for the latest Polo GTi 2.0 turbo AW platform, 2017 onwards. Designed to retain the factory catalyst and petrol particulate filter while elevating tone, depth and volume, it is the perfect upgrade for enthusiasts who want a richer, more engaging exhaust note without deleting emissions hardware.

Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• 3 inch 76.2 mm stainless steel pipework for improved gas flow and future tuning headroom.
• Replaces the centre section and rear silencer from the particulate filter back for a noticeable sound enhancement.
• Measured results you can hear: idle 72.3 dB increase of +10 dB and 3,800 rpm 86 dB increase of +7.5 dB.
• Engineered to be upgradable to a full turbo-back layout later by adding the corresponding sections.
• Tailpipe personalisation with four finish options including a 4 inch 101.6 mm carbon fibre tip for a premium look.
• All required clamps and gaskets supplied for a straightforward installation.

Fitment and compatibility

Suitable for the AW chassis Polo GTi 2.0 petrol, 2017 onwards. This PPF-back exhaust starts directly after the gasoline particulate filter also known as GPF or PPF and replaces the middle and rear sections. It keeps the stock catalyst and PPF in place.

Built for sound, flow and future mods

Made by Cobra Sport in high quality stainless steel, the oversized 3 inch 76.2 mm bore is larger than many alternatives for excellent flow rates and a deeper, more purposeful tone from the EA888 turbocharged engine. The modular design means you can start PPF-back today, then step up to a complete turbo-back system later if your build evolves.

Real-world results

On the latest generation Polo GTi, the factory system is quiet and muted. This upgrade unlocks the car’s character with a stronger bass line and a more assertive note under load while keeping emissions hardware intact. We have fitted this system at MJ Modifications and both we and our customers have been delighted with the quality, fit and the addictive sound it delivers.
