Mk7.5 help please
« on: 02 January 2018, 18:35 »
Hi all,
Recently purchased a new mk 7.5 Golf GTD, lovely car and generally pleased however I would be interested in a GTI style exhaust / diffuser. does anyone know of any exhaust available yet please, Milltek and cobra say the mk7 system won’t fit!
Also will the 7.5 gti diffuser fit the 7.5 gtd?
Thanks for any help

The GTI defuser won't fit simply because the exhaust pipe layout is different - two pipes on one side for a GTD, one pipe each side for a GTI.... two each side for an R.

I am fairly sure you'll find one of the German companies making something suitable though...

Thanks for reply,
I have been told the GTI diffuser from a mk7.5 does fit......apart from the obvious exhaust exit differences.
Now I just need to sort a GTI style exhaust!
