Akrapovic Exhaust (from 7.5R Special Edition)

[kaikor]

My mate also got a SE, all he did is deleted the resonator, man ... those farts are just like gunshots !!!

Its a pretty tamed exhaust though IMHO. Quiet in Race for normal driving.
Only comes to life through high rev range. Pronounced pops/crackles nothing that special.

Does anyone wanna sell their Akrapovic exhaust or know what VW charge for the part?
Has anyone figured out how to get one without going through VW?

You need a vin for a chassis that included it and it will set you back around $6k.. which is really not worth retro fitting..

Otherwise, trade in the current golf for an SE or hunt the wreckers for one

Old thread but thought I’d chime in here. I have an SE with 034 res delete, stage 1 high torque, intake etc done. The exhaust in race mode is loud. A little drone sometimes at certain revs/load but not bad. The res delete really makes the exhaust come alive. Crackles and pops in race still make me smile. Stage 2 with this exhaust would be very intense. I’ll probably do it when this Corona business is over.

Hi Mitch, is the sound acuator on or have you unplugged it? What happens if you drive in Individual Mode with everything on race and Sound on Eco, does it still drone or is it still present from the exhaust?

How is the sound under 3500 RPM?

Hi Roh008,

Actuator set to zero via OBD11. I haven’t touched individual mode to be honest. Race mode or drive mode only. The drone is there but it is very minimal, only under certain load ie up long hills. Get the revs up and it’s gone. Under 3500rpm in race and there is drone. Flaps are coded as per stock. Drive mode under 3500rpm very minimal, no issues.
