Title: MK8 Clubsport Akrapovic Exhaust - Search is on!
Post by: GE90 on 16 April 2025, 16:33

Hi All

Unlikely I know, but if anyone has a MK8 Clubsport Akrapovic Exhaust for sale please let me know!

Would consider an exchange for a standard exhaust if you are trading in a car.

Cheers

Is there an Akrapovic for the MK8?

It came with the 45 Edition, and I think also an option on the standard Clubsport?

Thanks.

I enquired a bit about this. Adding the performance pack forces Estoril wheels which I didn't want, so I left it out and briefly looked into retrofitting it.

The part number is 5H6253181BD if you want to keep your eyes peeled for a second hand one.

The VW specialist I checked weren't sure if they could even order it (perhaps can only be ordered if the car was specced with it) and the price was eye watering at €4,200 plus VAT.

€1,600 seems like a _steal_.

The "GTI Parking" sign in the background would maybe point to it being an enthusiast that just happens to have one available. Hmm, how to deliver it...

Fake account? Copied photos? Lots of money to send if it doesn't arrive! Not sure how this could be done securely if not prepared to list on eBay!
