APR VW MK8 Golf R GPF-Back Exhaust System

The APR MK8 Golf R Catback Exhaust System has been designed by engineers with the goal of creating a superior exhaust system. The project focused on achieving high standards in quality, style, sound, and functionality while maintaining affordability. The development process involved extensive effort over several months, resulting in a system that aims to set a benchmark for MK8 Golf R catback exhaust systems.

The system features a visually striking design with its brushed T304 stainless steel construction and oversized 3″ tubing that splits into quad 2.5″ exits. The precision mandrel bending promotes an efficient flow, and the matte carbon fiber quad tips provide a luxury aesthetic, often found in more expensive vehicles.

This exhaust system includes several high-end features like robust TIG welding and precision-engineered bracketry to ensure proper fit and alignment on vehicles. Installation is facilitated by low-profile clamps, which help save time and reduce costs. The system also offers interchangeable tips for customization.

Sound quality is a key aspect of the system, offering a robust roar at full throttle while maintaining a refined tone during everyday driving. This balance is achieved through straight-through tubing, OEM-controlled exhaust valves, dual Helmholtz resonators, and the strategic absence of sound-absorbing materials. The design allows for a powerful exhaust note when accelerating, yet a quiet and pleasant tone during cruising, achieved by the use of advanced sound engineering techniques.

The APR MK8 Golf R Catback Exhaust System features include:

• Premium quad exhaust tips with matte carbon fiber and stainless steel inlays for a luxurious appearance.
• All T304 stainless steel construction for durability, corrosion resistance, and a premium look.
• Innovative sound engineering with dual OEM-controlled valves and Helmholtz resonators to balance exhilarating and refined tones.
• Unrestricted performance with 3” to quad 2.5” mandrel-bent tubing for maximum flow, outperforming standard factory systems.
• Pure exhaust sound maintained by avoiding sound-absorbing materials and using advanced tuning to eliminate unwanted frequencies.
• Exceptional build quality with strong TIG welding and precise bracketry ensuring a perfect fit for a professional-grade installation.
• Easy installation with low-profile butt clamps for a straightforward, no-cut setup, compatible with the factory system and including a removable reducer for seamless integration.
