If you're looking to give your ride a serious upgrade, the APR Catback Exhaust System is where it's at. I’ve had mine on my 2016 GTI for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. The first thing you notice is the craftsmanship—this thing is built from T304 stainless steel, so it’s not just pretty; it’s tough. The TIG welding is spot-on, and you can tell they really put some love into the details.

Now, let’s talk about sound. The brushed-finish mufflers are designed to give you that deep, throaty growl without the annoying drone that some systems have. You can actually customize the sound to your liking, which is a huge plus. I’ve experimented with the center unit, and it’s easy to swap out if you want to fine-tune the exhaust note. It’s like having a personal sound engineer in your garage.

The installation is a breeze, thanks to the rugged mounting brackets and OEM-style clamps. I managed to get it on without needing a second pair of hands, which is always a win in my book. The system fits like a glove, and the cast 3” to dual 2.5” rear splitter ensures the exhaust gases flow smoothly out the back. Plus, it looks sharp from behind, especially with those polished 4” slash-cut tips. They really give it that motorsport vibe without being over the top.

One of the best parts? It’s lighter than stock, which helps with performance. And if you’ve lowered your vehicle, you won’t have to worry about clearance issues; the low-profile design fits right in. It’s compatible with both the OEM and APR Race DP exhaust systems, so you’ve got options if you’re planning to go all out.

To sum it up, if you want a system that looks good, sounds great, and performs even better, this is it. Plus, APR backs it up with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they stand behind their work. If you drive a Volkswagen Mk7 GTI (2015-2017), this catback exhaust is a no-brainer.
