If you're looking to give your Volkswagen GTI a serious upgrade, the APR Catback Exhaust System is a solid choice that really makes a difference. It’s not just about looks; this system transforms the way your car sounds and performs, too. Made from T304 stainless steel, it’s tough and built to last. The craftsmanship is impressive, with every piece beautifully hand-crafted and TIG-welded, ensuring that it not only looks good but will stand up to whatever you throw at it.

The straight-through design of the brushed-finish mufflers is a game changer. You can customize the exhaust note to your liking, giving you that deep, throaty growl without any of the annoying drone or rasp that can ruin your driving experience. Plus, the setup is designed to minimize restrictions, so you get the most out of your engine’s output.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the high-quality bracketry and OEM-style clamps that hold everything in place securely. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just getting your feet wet, you’ll find the fitment to be precise and the install a breeze. The system features a cast 3” to dual 2.5” rear splitter that provides an ultra-smooth transition for exhaust gases, which not only improves performance but also looks clean from behind the car.

And let’s talk about the finishing touch—the removable 4” polished slash-cut exhaust tips. They add a sporty flair to the rear of your GTI, making it stand out in all the right ways. Overall, this exhaust system is designed for both performance and aesthetics, and it’s lighter than stock, which is always a plus.
