Exhaust options for the 90TSI

[Tomatoes]

Hey guys, so I've been looking into exhaust options for my 90TSI, and I haven't found much around. I was thinking just replacing the rear muffler at this point with an aftermarket one. I've looked into Supersprint (way too expensive), Jetex (nothing for Mk7) and Remus (too expensive). Looking to find something under 700 AUD preferably.

On that note, would a rear muffler or catback exhaust designed for the MK6 1.4TSI OR MK 7 GTI fit onto the MK7? Reason why I'm asking is that Jetex has a product line for the MK6 but they have nothing out for any MK7 model.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Just go yo any reputable exhaust shop. You should have no problem getting a custom cat back for that price

For a start, you could try getting the resonator removed? I called up a few exhaust shops for my 90tsi and they quoted between $60-$120

Yeah, I've already done that! It's good but sounds a little raspy, which I hope would be corrected with an aftermarket rear muffler. I think the best bet would be to wait until more options come out, but I"ll start contacting some exhaust shops and see if they can do custom exhausts.

Before I got the GTI I had my local exhaust shop put a generic "sports muffler" with tips on my 103TSI. It popped when shifting above 4000rpm like the GTI does and it sounded absolutely fantastic - even my mates thought it had more than a muffler.

The cost? $150. The cheapest thing I put on my car was ironically the best. Lol.

Oh sweet! If it isn't too much trouble, would you be able to get an audio clip of how it sounds? I'd love to hear it!

Good to hear! Was there any drone when driving at low-mid RPM? I'm seriously considering going this route for my 90TSI Comfortline (or perhaps shell out $1000 for a Remus kit).

Sure mate! Good thing I did a before/after.

Before (stock): Golf Mk7 1.4TSI stock exhaust sound - YouTube

After (resonator delete): Golf Mk7 1.4TSI Resonator Delete - YouTube

Apologies for my yelling.

You're a legend mate! Thanks a lot. Sounds a lot tougher! Sorry for derailing your thread haha!

If any TSI guys are feeling adventurous with their exhausts, this rear valance would be a good set up to start with:

The absolute slightest bit of drone around 3k but that was it. It wasn't annoying. It was much louder than the GTI is - I actually miss it sometimes. The "fart" on up shift was the best part.

If it's a sporty noise you want, I wouldn't waste money on a full system. Go the muffler like I did.

Sorry to bring up an old post but how would one go about getting that set-up on a mk7 tsi?

You'll need to look overseas for the parts so unfortunately it won't be a cheap exercise, but you'd end up with one very unique Mk7 locally and plenty of admiring glances from this forum.. including a lot of R owners who'd wished VW had stuck with this trademark look.

There's a few parts places selling in the USA, eg. 2015 Volkswagen Golf Rear Valance - Center twin Exit Exhaust - Primer #5G0-071-610-B-GRU and I dare say a few Euro places would be too for price/freight comparisons. As they are OEM parts they should all slot in ok but always worth checking.

Please do it.

Hmm, very tempting! Might look into this in the future..

I did this to my Mk7 90tsi a few days ago.
