    That's what I've been told by the folks at apr.
    Same length, piping & route.
    I'll know for sure when it gets installed trow.

    The APR one gets trimmed to size during the fitting process unless they are pre-trimming them before shipment.
    It also has an adjustable hanger so suits the slightly different path it needs to take.

    I didnt see the post above.
    If you fit the entire turbo back then its a direct bolt on. If you just go the DP route then it needs to be trimmed to length to mate up with the stock Octavia cat back

    Was looking in to the above one as well, shot off a proper postage quote. Although this one doesn't look like it has the lower o2 sensor, it does state there are two in the ad.

    Stupid questions:
    -I cant see the higher one from having a quick look under and up with a jack. Are there two sensors?
    -If theres only 1 sensor, would the DP come with a fitment to block the other hole?
    -The ones we've been looking at are 'de-cat'. Does the VRS come with one cat or two. I thought the two rear muffler boxes are just mufflers..

    2 sensors - yes.
    vrs stock downpipe comes with 2 cats. the 1st one between primary 02 sensor port and the flex coupler, and the 2nd, as shown in the pic below.

    How come the APR website has the same part number for the Occy as the Golf GTI if according to the above the GTI is too long for the Occy? APR also confirmed the Golf GTI MK6 downpipe will fit the Occy MK2. I'm confused by the above stating things need to be trimmed for the Occy?

    APR probably assume you are using the APR catback from the Jetta.

    not sure, maybe its to do with the position of where the apr downpipe ends up with respect to the stock octavia catback.
    the golf catback is entirely different design to the octavia catback.

    when i got the full apr exhaust, for a jetta, there was no cutting/trimming required.
