I'm genuinely surprised by the number of people who have commented that they prefer the twin exhaust look to the split exhaust even from some GTI owners. Let's put it to the vote. What do you prefer and why?
-
I'm a GTD owner to be and if I had a choice - it would be the split exhaust. Looks mean!
-
Split, the more each side the better :laugh:
-
GTI owner and honestly I prefer the non-split look as per the GTD and the MK5 GTI.
-
Split. Love the symmetry :smiley:
-
Split for me. I loved it when they did it with the mk 6 and I still do - differentiates the car from other Golfs at a glance. Although I like the quads on the R as well! :cool:
-
I'd prefer a single fat trapezoid in the centre - very Lambo!
Not bothered either way between twins or split, certainly wouldn't shell out for splits as an optional extra.

be the 1st to have 1 made :wink:

Centre exit twin pipes always look awesome
-
GTD owner and much prefer the twin exhausts on the mk7. something about the split ones just didn't look right on the gti but if they were integrated better into the bumper or were a different shape then it would ok
-
I prefer the twin pipes of the GTD compared to the wheelbarrow handle look standard GTI pipes. A GTI with a Milltek tho' is a different story.
As for center exhausts, they are not much good if you want a tow bar.
-
To be honest I like both, but what I really like about the GTI is the diffuser. It's a nice honeycombed unit, whereas on the GTD it's a bog standard plain one that you would get on a SE or GT :sad:

Which is why the MK1 Astra VXR has a centre exit exhaust - Vauxhall couldn't/wouldn't get it through the towing tests, so they switched from split exhausts to centre exit!
BTW, voted split!
-
The symmetrical look of the split is way more pleasing to my eyes. Twin is okay as long as it's central (again, symmetry).
The mk7 R has gone for split twins (2 pairs), which is just excessive and vulgar and undermines the refinement of the brand.
-
Split exhaust looks better to me, although the central twin on the Golf R Mk6 also looks awesome. I wonder if the Quad on the R MK7 is a bit overkill in looks. I prefer the R MK6 central over it any day.
-
I think that the new .:R quad pipes are too much. A pair of large ovals would have been better.
-
The R has probably only got quad tailpipes so it can parts share (yet) another part with the S3 lol!
-
Hoping to see a Golf RS 360PS with 8 exhaust pipes. The back end will look like a church organ. :grin:
-
The GTD exhaust is neat. But the GTI nicer. Shame im getting tht GTD. Still happy though.

Ah but it most definitely will not sound like one :laugh:

Both cars seem to use a single exhaust system with a single transverse silencer at the rear. The GTI has one tailpipe out of each side of the single rear silencer. The GTI setup does looks neat, but seems to be trying to recreate the impression of two exhaust systems...so on balance I'd just go for the GTD setup (however I'm biased :grin: :grin:)
