Golf R Observations and Questions

**MattD** · 15-08-2010, 02:54 PM

Hi all,

Im not sure if this has been covered off, I couldnt find any talk of it.. but.. does anyone know if there are any good aftermarket exhausts out there for the Golf R yet?

I know that APR are making one, but I havent seen/heard any videos of it.. nor have I found any exhausts from other makers..

When the R arrives, it will definately get the S1 APR tune, but I really want it to have a nice big grumble to it also.. if you know what I mean..

APR are making a (non-RSC) exhaust here in Australia. There won't be an RSC exhaust until there are some Golf R's in the USA. But since it's rumble you want, non-RSC is probably the way to go anyway. From what I know, the exhaust is complete, but there may still be some work to do to put it into "production".
I would say it won't be long before we have pictures / sound / video of it, and within 2 months from actually being able to purchase it (from comments around the place from Guy H).

I'm sure other manufacturers will have Golf R exhausts available at some stage - but since it's a lower volume car, and isn't yet in all countries, it always takes longer than the GTI stuff to come out.

I heard yesterday that Dean from Volkspower had an R on order as well and was going to develop some gear for it.

I'll try to get some photo's up of our exhaust, just ran 2000 street / highway KM's & is now extensively track & dyno tested. NO DRONE!

Have to sort out the tailpipe tips, but we have the sound perfect! (IMHO)

Great to hear Guy. Have you taken some SPL measurements in the car at various RPM to compare with the new exhaust vs old exhaust?

Hi Adam.
Yes I used to be on Ozhonda....but I locked myself out of that place because I changed the password but they send the confrimation email to my old ISP email by which time ive already closed that one and switched ISP's. so my account is there but I cant access it.

I had a Jetta TFSI and that got written off so I thought, what the hell......lets get a Golf R!
