What's the best exhaust for the Mk7 GTI
- Thread starter Hulk1
- Start date
Yeah that's my grumble. I don't want something too close to the weak stock sound Bc what's the point? I want it to be known there's a performance exhaust on there, i mean I'm paying for it so why not. Just don't want it to sound obnoxious or lawnmowery.
Best ones I've heard are AWE track (touring too quiet), Cobra Sport (different and underused), Remus (way pricey). CTS cat back is overrated IMO. Sounds like fireworks in an empty soup can.
I'd say the cobra sport has the best overall package when considering these three criteria:
1) sound
2) appearance
3) cost
Looks way better from behind than AWE and is just as affordable. Plus the sound is a tad louder but still not overkill. Still might give the overall sound edge to awe though which has me stuck.

Go all out and get a catless DP and a track exhaust then. It will be noticed. I am currently running an APR DP and AWE touring exhaust with muffler delete. I was originally going to get the track exhaust but after hearing it with the rest of my setup, I decided to stick with the touring.
I was worried about it sounding obnoxious and it doesn't all. I agree touring seems to quiet. You definitely know the track exhaust is there without being super loud and obnoxious.
Feel free to PM me and I can link you with someone that can take good care of you when you decide to order regardless of exhaust.

I have a 15 GTI Stage 2 w/APR Downpipe and Remus Catback with single tips. Perfect sound for me. Sounds aggressive in sport and when just cruising around it is pretty quiet.
Hope this helps.

Unitronic's turbo-back exhaust system is my favorite right now. Price is unreasonable for me though at $1800 (based off videos alone)

i have a cts catless dp and have been wondering which catback to go with. i really like the neuspeed 80mm, but i have not come across any views for it, the only video features the 70mm and stock dp and that doesnt work for me. the cts catless dp is pretty damn loud, im worried adding a catback will make the car ridiculous. i have also been looking at the awe touring, and the cts cbe except the cts doesnt look like its constructed or designed all that great
I have the AWE Track Edition catback system with the Diamond Black tips. It is not as loud as I thought it would be, but not necessarily a bad thing. It is louder than stock, but has a deep mellow tone without being obnoxious.

love the diamond black tips but I think I need something up a notch in volume. Borla has me interested. That exhaust sounds amazing

I have a catless DP, Stock resonator and a Magnaflow muffler in the back. Sounds amazing, but drones with the a/c on while on the highway. Street its perfectly fine. It doesn't bother me in the freeway cause I'm always shifting up and down in and out of cars, but with the family.. They get irritated haha
