System Overview

The APR MK7 GTI catback exhaust uses larger piping over factory but still weighs in at 5 lbs less and 1 lb less with the optional front muffler. Using the 3" OD piping that than splits to 2.5" design this is an improvement over the 2.56" splitting to 2.36" the factory setup offers. Finishing off the APR catback are 4" exhaust tips which dwarf those tiny littler stockers.

Component Details

Mufflers

When it comes to the sound of your exhaust this is where mufflers come into play. Proper muffler design not only has to fine tune that exhaust note in your MK7 GTI but make sure it does not add any unnecessary restriction to the system. Each unit in the APR MK7 GTI catback features a straight through design which is tightly wrapped with stainless steel and fiberglass material. Finished off with beautiful satin making these the perfect option for your VW,.

Standard with the APR catback is a single muffler setup but there is the option of adding their front triangular muffler at any time for that added resonance. Adding the additional resonator may be for those looking to tone it down after they add a performance MK7 GTI downpipe to their car.

Axle-Back Components

APR went with the cast axle back splitter to maximize the systems performance by keeping that exhaust velocity high but back pressure low. How does this happen? Gradually splitting the system from a single 3" to dual 2.5" pipes with organic transitions. 

Brackets

Each APR catback system features brackets that are strong and offer precise fitment every time. No need to worry about sagging brackets that lose shape over time. These are rigid and stay in place. 

Tubing

APR did not cheap out when it came to material of their MK7 GTI catback exhaust. They went with high quality T304 stainless steel throughout. And to add even further confidence in quality they brush and deburr all piping and of course argon back purge TIG weld every system.

Tips

Completely removable Satin finished 4" slash cut exhaust tips finish off this 2015-2017 APR GTI catback exhaust. Giving your VW that motorsports inspired look that blends perfectly with the factory valance. And of course when you run APR performance products you want to show it off so each tip is laser etches with a small and discreet APR logo.

Clamps

Staying on the car is key especially when you are hitting the track with your MK7 GTI. APR catbacks utilize T304 stainless Torca AccuSeal clamps for the exhaust tips. And no more fighting to install an exhaust yourself as APR has designed each clamp point with the installer in mind. Each connection point is placed to ensure there is minimal opportunity for it to rotate after install and driving under heavy load.
