Golf mk7 / Axle back exhaust mk7
« Last post by Henners on Today at 18:11 »Hi, first time posting. Found similar posts when searching but nothing specific..
I have a MK7 Golf GTI PP DSG 2016. I bent my exhaust pipe while doing a rather enthusiastic three point turn. Brilliant. After getting my mechanic to look at it, he says the rear muffler and pipes need replacing. I believe this is called an Axle Back exhaust modification. He phoned around and it looks like a stock GTI muffler and pipes are around the £600 mark, which isn't far off a sports exhaust. So then I got thinking I might as well go for something which sounds a bit better.
I've heard of Milltek, Remus and a few others, or there is a Clubsport S muffler. I'm looking for a sportier more entertaining exhaust note but mainly while getting on it at higher revs, as opposed to loud all the time. I also don't want droning on the motorway or to annoy the neighbours with aggressive loud cold starts early in the morning. Aside from sitting in each setup in person, can anyone recommend which might be my best option forward, while trying to keep as close as possible to the £600 mark of stock?
I plan to go Revo stage 1 at some point so it needs to be future proof for that.
From my research it seems a Clubsport S muffler box and pipes would do the job - a better noise when accelerating hard, a bit more idle burble, but not a full expensive cat back system or res delete. As I understand, an axleback replacement does not affect the flow of gases enough to require any form of ECU remap. Does this all sound about right or am I wildly off?
Thanks

Must do this myself, had a good run there the other day and was back at 38mpg the day after I can barely get 32mpg. Strange though as I typically have nice long runs 40+ miles, although maybe not that the right speed to let it regen.

Golf mk8 / Re: Golf GTI Mk8 2024 Spacesaver
« Last post by davo245 on Today at 09:20 »Very confused! Looking to buy an original VW space saver but lots of different product numbers. My vehicle has 19inch Adelaide wheels. Will 1K0601027B which is an 18inch wheel do the job? If not what product should I be seeking? Thanks
Not sure on part numbers but the price of new wheel and tools from vw is over 400!
I took all my tools and spare wheel from my mk7.5 GTI performance I had from new(19" Brescia's) and put in my mk8 (19s adelaides) all fits perfectly in boot and on car if that helps you out.

Still makes me smile though.

Thank you for your support and advice. It was invaluable.
I took it along a dual carriageway and drove at 70 mph and then dropped to 30 mph without braking. I did this about ten times! It worked. Now back to normal.
Good to hear it worked!

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Rudedog on 23 April 2024, 21:14 »Or as James May came to the conclusion in 'Cars of the People' - the VW Golf was the "perfect people's car" - and all the car you could ever need.
Even Ben Collins (the Stig) said that out of all of the GTI's he would have either a Mk5 or a Mk7.
