Exhaust for 7.5 GTI

[adcha1]

Hi All,

I have a few questions and was hoping that someone here could answer them.

I was on the verge on getting a new catback exhaust on my mk7.5 gti when i was informed that the stock setup is valved.

I assume that the valves open when you are in sports mode hence why the fart sound is much louder.

Can anyone confirm this?

I am now thinking of just a downpipe with the stock catback.

Does anyone have such a setup? If so, how loud is it in sports mode as opposed to the other modes?

Wouldn’t mind hearing it in person. I’m in melbourne and if anyone here with a mk7/7.5 gti with a downpipe and stock cat is willing to share that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I am in a similar boat as you.

If you go downpipe. You will need a tune and that will void warranty?

If you got just Cat back exhaust like this :
Cat-back-system dual L/R with resonated front section (selectable tail pipes), incl. EC homologation

You will still retain warranty if anything goes ?

other then that. I too am very curious to know what a downpipe only setup will sound like.
