Octavia III Exhaust Thread

[99Reza]

I thought I will share what I've managed to dig up in the past few weeks regarding exhaust system for our wonderful cars (not just RS model).

Active-Sound - RS TDI Only. Must have Soundaktor - 1,159 Euro

Cost as much as proper exhaust system, however from my understanding it tinker with the SoundAktor instead, doesn't seem to touch the physical exhaust. Sounded quite mean

Bull X - RS TSI Only - 999 Euro - German Based - 3 inch system

Website has excellent video and picture of the complete exhaust system. Good for reference. The video on the website is for manual, hence lack of DSG fart

Miltek - Price not released - RS TSI and TDI Only - 3 inch version
From Briskoda brief review (Aussie driver), he mentioned tone change is very minimum if any. He paid just under AUD2k i think.

Scorpion Exhaust - Price TBA - UK based - 2.5 inch system
From Briskoda brief review, it only increase the sound marginally, similar to Sport mode to those with Soundaktor.

Sorry no video.

Supersprint - Most model available, RS model 1435 Euro (individual component price not kit) - Guessing 2.5inch, pipe doesn't look as large as BullX

Nice sound from inside the cabin.

S-Motors - RS Only - Price tba - 3 inch version

From what i can gather, 3 inch version gives off deeper sound while 2.5 inch is more throaty. I personally prefer 2.5 inch version as it provide the right amount of pitch and the impression of urgency to complement the engine noise.

All the manufacturer with the exception of Bull X retain the same exhaust configuration ie: Central round resonator plus two muffler. BullX has opted to use a straight pipe where the central resonator normally live, they have a rather large muffler in the cavity on the rear left hand side of the vehicle instead.

If anyone has came across different system please feel free to add to the list.

i was going to recommend the apr rsc 3" system, but it looks like apr haven't developed one yet for the mk3 octavia yet, let alone the mk7 gti!.

Thats because APR is going broke and their RSC is a fake!

APR Deceptive Website and Marketing practices

That's quite an eye opener...

Avoid APR.

[vEnOm_oz]

That's shocking regarding their hardware. I presume their tunes are still reliable?

[Dzl_Dubba]

Shouldn't have any problems with their software.

or you could save money and go elsewhere for similar performance...........
