Title: 2016 Gti Perf exhaust.
Post by: Lump on 05 April 2019, 12:47

Hi forum.
I’ve just bought a lovely 2016 Gti Perf in white and loving it.
The exhaust note however seems a tad under enthusiastic. I little more volume and burble would be nice.
I don’t want a crazy sound with pops at 15 miles per hour. What would you recommend?
Cheers

Welcome! This would be a good starting point and fantastic value for money. Obviously lots of aftermarket proper exhausts to choose from which others might be able to recommend.

Thanks chaps, that seems like the solution.
Just to check (noob) my car is a September 2016 model. Is that classed a a Mk 7 or Mark 7.5?

Mk7

Thought so.

Last question. Is the stock exhaust made from mild or stainless steel.

Thanks for advice. I did order a res delete pipe and a pedal box! Will be a good week waiting for the postman.
