The iE Valved Catback for your 2022+ VW MK8 Golf R delivers a primal scream on demand. Kick exhaust drone to the curb with our proprietary DroneTrap technology while seamless integration of exhaust valving gives you factory control to switch between “subtle” or “rowdy” modes. Deep rumbles at low revs and mighty roars at high RPMs are topped off with quad, 4” slash-cut tips for bonus style points. All from a simple bolt-on upgrade. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
iE's advanced DroneTrap technology takes away the buzz-killing drone leaving only the sweet song of your people. DroneTrap captures the pulse waves that make up the engine's exhaust note. Here, a mathematically tuned resonator draws these waves in and an internal port resonates the waves against each other. Annoying waves that cause drone are canceled. Only the good stuff remains—a full, rich audacious call of the wild.
With quad oversized 4" exhaust tips, your Golf R will look fast even when it’s standing still. These slash-cut tips feature a motorsport-inspired brushed finish and adjustable depth to dial your aggressive looks up or down.
Sound may be the main feature of the Catback Exhaust, but durability and reliability play a big part too. Catback Exhaust is made from corrosion-resistant, mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel plus lots of structural details for added strength and integrity like hand-TIG-welded joints. The stamped, multi-wall muffler prevents warping. Reinforced hangers keep mountings secure. Strength-boosting bridged piping distributes weight and reduces stress and vibration. Wide-width stretch clamps keep connections tight and leak-free.
Control your exhaust volume through the factory drive select controls from your MMI system. Select comfort to drive around your suburb like a civilized neighbor, or trigger Sport/Dynamic mode to release that boosted roar.
A valved Catback Exhaust lets you choose the way you greet the world. Comfort/Normal mode keeps the valves closed so exhaust routes through the center-mounted muffler for a tamer sound. Meanwhile, Sport, dynamic, or R modes open valves to bypass the muffler and send it all through unrestricted twin pipes for something more feral.
No permanent mods or hassle to deal with on this one. Installing your new iE Catback Exhaust kit is straightforward with a few basic tools. An auto lift is not necessary, but will make your life a lot easier (well, your installation anyway).
3D scanning and cutting-edge software give our engineers a high-resolution digital model of the VW MK8 chassis. This data allows us to maximize exhaust flow and optimize every inch of available space, ensuring a perfect fit with no rattles or rubbing.
