Is the GTI and 118TSI Exhaust the same?

[hcvo1]

Here is an idea... just buy a GTI...

I was following a GTI last night, and my wife's car is a 118TSI. I think all you would have to do is change the rear muffler. The outlet pipes seem pretty much part of the HUGE rear muffler in both cases. You may have to make up a pipe to connect the GTI muffler to the 118TSI muffler inlet pipe, but that would appear to be all.

+1 - By the time you get a new rear valance and an exhaust you would be pretty close to the cost of a GTI anyway and it wont add any value.

Actually it is going to be turbo back or just the rear...

Just like to make the 118TSI rear looks like a R or GTI...

Everyone will know your car isn't a GTI even if you add a GTI badge, exhaust (which will most likely diminish performance on your car) and valance as soon as you press the accelerator pedal.

Sorry... I mean cat back not turbo back...

A 118TSI with DSG + chassis control RRP is about 37000.
A GTI with DSG + chassis control RRP is 49000.

A rear valance only cost 350 and painting is optional.

How is it close? Also a TSI will have more room for negotiation then a GTi, which ill make the gap further.

Dont get me wrong, I would like an GTI or a R, but just got too many other commitment to spend the extra 10-12k...

I just like the look of the twin rear exhaust only... Possibly can get a used GTi exhaust from Dereck.

Yeah - if you can get a used MK6 GTI exhaust, that would make the upgrade a LOT cheaper. He'll likely have a few around due to putting the APR RSC exhausts on GTI's.

Have you checked on whether the rear valance between the 118TSI and GTI compatible? Because if not you'd be up for an entire rear bumper, and then painting would be mandatory.

You forgot at the same time you can bring a TSI close to low 30k as well...

Which still represent 10-12k difference between them...

By the way, the new gti doesnt seems to sell as well as the old one...

tell it to everyone on a wait list for GTI.... ppl who heve GTI5 most likely not gone get GTI6 since they are very simular

as for 118...by the time you make GTI look-a-like you already invested a lot of money in it which brings you very close to GTI budget... and the main issue you will never see this money when you will sale your car since its still 118 with extras...
