  • Octavia III Exhaust Thread

    I thought I will share what I've managed to dig up in the past few weeks regarding exhaust system for our wonderful cars (not just RS model).

    Active-Sound - RS TDI Only. Must have Soundaktor - 1,159 Euro
    Retrofit Kit Active Sound Exhaust | Skoda Octavia RS TDI-
    Skoda Octavia 5E RS TDI 2.0 TDI 184 HP + Active Sound Exhaust System (Sound Aktuator) - YouTube - Video
    Cost as much as proper exhaust system, however from my understanding it tinker with the SoundAktor instead, doesn't seem to touch the physical exhaust. Sounded quite mean

    Bull X - RS TSI Only - 999 Euro - German Based - 3 inch system

    Website has excellent video and picture of the complete exhaust system. Good for reference. The video on the website is for manual, hence lack of DSG fart

    Fox Exhaust - Most model, price vary - German Based - 2.5 inch

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cTZOJz7p5c - Short video

    Miltek - Price not released - RS TSI and TDI Only - 3 inch version
    From Briskoda brief review (Aussie driver), he mentioned tone change is very minimum if any. He paid just under AUD2k i think.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsbupfSTQw8 - Video - Suggest otherwise, quite loud and mean.

    Scorpion Exhaust - Price TBA - UK based - 2.5 inch system
    From Briskoda brief review, it only increase the sound marginally, similar to Sport mode to those with Soundaktor.
    World class manufacturer of ‘Red Power’ high-quality, outstandingly designed, O.E.M and aftercare market ‘performance exhausts’ for motorbikes, scooters, and cars, with a lifetime guarantee built on engineering excellence.

    Sorry no video.

    Supersprint - Most model available, RS model 1435 Euro (individual component price not kit) - Guessing 2.5inch, pipe doesn't look as large as BullX

    Nice sound from inside the cabin.

    S-Motors - RS Only - Price tba - 3 inch version


    From what i can gather, 3 inch version gives off deeper sound while 2.5 inch is more throaty. I personally prefer 2.5 inch version as it provide the right amount of pitch and the impression of urgency to complement the engine noise.

    All the manufacturer with the exception of Bull X retain the same exhaust configuration ie: Central round resonator plus two muffler. BullX has opted to use a straight pipe where the central resonator normally live, they have a rather large muffler in the cavity on the rear left hand side of the vehicle instead.

    If anyone has came across different system please feel free to add to the list.

    i was going to recommend the apr rsc 3" system, but it looks like apr haven't developed one yet for the mk3 octavia yet, let alone the mk7 gti!.

                That's shocking regarding their hardware. I presume their tunes are still reliable?

                      Has anyone had any experience with Jetex Exhaust? I believe their muffler is made by Simons in Sweden.

                          I've been looking at them for some time for my MkII. They supply quite a few in the uk. I checked their website just the other day when this thread was started but they didn't seem to do the Mkiii yet?

                            Yeah no system for mk3 yet. They have one for gti mk7 though. Perhaps not far away.

                            I was looking at their universal muffler range and got an idea of putting few items together to make into a system, can be a cost effective alternative, around 600 bucks including shipping. Its a gamble though on how they will turn out.
