TCR muffler on GTI performance

[Gitteh]

Hi guys did anyone try a TCR muffler on his gti 7.5? Would be interesting to know if this improves the sound a bit, like the CS muffler does on the gti7.

Here you can see an American who is happy with it. (The car is stage1)

If I had a gti I’d do this mod. Sounds great.

apparently the css/tcr rear muffler was designed by sebring  , ive added a custom resonator onto my css as i thought it was still too quiet

I think in that video it sounds really nice.

There seems to be a lot of positive chat about the CS muffler on the Mk7 so I would have expected more people to be trying this on the 7.5

Has anyone on here got one and is the website in the OP's post legit enough to buy from?

Hi I have a cat back Cs exhaust coming off my Clubsport around end of July/start of August when it will be for sale....let me know if you are interested?

Unfortunately Richard exhausts from MK7 and MK7.5 are not interchangeable. Another point is the CS exhaust has a reducer after the first resonator so actually has a smaller diameter pipe than the standard GTI! The rear box is more free flowing which makes it sound more grunty than the std MK7 GTI. The popular mod for MK7 GTI owners is to upgrade to the CSS rear box which fits straight to the standard GTI mid pipe and combined with the free flowing rear box helps differentiate the noise of the CSS from the CS. To be honest I am sure the CS pipe is still an upgrade for GTI owners so I am sure it will sell.

Just bought one of these back boxes from Germany ,waiting for it to arrive  so I can get it  fitted 🙂

I ordered my TCR muffler from euro-parts.co.uk a few weeks back. I picked and paid for priority shipping (4day delivery) but they sent it by standard which took around 2 weeks or so. I had to demand a refund for the difference in postage which was €20 in the difference. It arrived without the box and was just wrapped in bubble wrap.

Anyway I had it fitted today and I'm very pleased with the results. It had a deeper, more throaty sound and the DSG farts are much louder. Inside the cabin it sounds as loud as if you have the soundaktor in sport mode. (I leave mine in eco and will soon turn off with OBDeleven). At a cruise the sound is the same as a stock GTI muffler. You can hear the difference at cold start, free revving the engine and of course when the engine is under load which is where it's most noticeable.

I was in a rush today but I managed to take a before and after video although I'll try take better ones of acceleration and cold start etc.

Here is a link to the video for anyone who is interested.
