Title: Mk7.5 cat back on a Mk7??
Post by: GTI_Daz on 22 November 2019, 21:22
With mine being a 64 plate Mk7 GTi I was after a mk7.5 GTi cat back. Does anybody know if this is a straight swap. The one I'm looking at is only a month old and like new so looks a lot better than my battered one with the tips. Just need to know of it's a straight swap. Thanks in advance

No it's not, the tips are further apart so you'd need a 7.5 rear bumper and rear diffuser to make it fit. You're better off going with a Clubsport rear box because you'd get the larger 7.5 tips but with correct spacing and meatier sound.

Brilliant. Saved me a load of hassle and money.
