GTI Clubsport.....Can't be long now

[TurboTrev]

Does anyone know whether the Clubsport (not S) just has a standard GTI exhaust system with bigger tailpipes, or is the complete system different to a standard GTI?  Thanks.

It's not just the bigger tailpipes, there's definitely a different rear silencer I believe. It is louder than the GTI, nothing silly mind you, just makes the DSG gear changes on boost sound lovely.

Also, some GTI owners in Germany have already retro-fitted exhaust parts from the Clubsport (so there must be different than the GTI) although with my limited German I am not sure whether it was just the rear silencer and/or middle resonator.

Lots of stats e.g. CS-S 0-60 5.8 braking etc etc

Verdict

1. CS-S
2. Cupra
3. RS
4. Type R

Okay, that sounds good.

Mmm, the description on that link makes it sound like it's the same system, just with bigger tailpipes.

That's a proper GTI, really like those wheels too.

No offense but I was literally going to write "worst color, worst wheels"  I don't think there's another paint+wheel combo that ruins the Clubsport looks more than this.

Of course "to each his own", "we're all different" etc.

I tend to agree...
