I'm sure you could get a decent custom system made up for a lot less than that do Akrapovic have a system yet?

I spoke to Akrapovic and they said there is nothing on a mk7 golf r as yet, but they said stay tuned.

Also Remus do a nice cat back exhaust for the R. VW Golf VII R 4motion, type AU, Mod. 2014 with REMUS cat-back sport exhaust system - YouTube

Thanks, that wasn't that one I was searching for.

This is the one :- R Forum • View topic - R mk7 Turbo failure!

Following the UK link Sekas provided in Post 2281, there seems to be lots of posts about turbo issues with the Mk 7 Golf R with people vowing not to modify the engines of the R with "known" turbo issues.

I haven't heard of any turbo issues in Australia, has anyone else?

[andrew7]

^ No known R turbo issues in Oz to date. I have read about this on a number of forums and it is theorised that there was possibly a faulty Euro batch. (NB. my take on the Poms is that many are ++risk averse re warranty implications and wouldn't consider tuning in any case so the "turbo" issue gives them an out). So nothing to worry about at this stage IMO.

[jonoz]

Not sure if this is R-specific but it is to me.

Does anyone else have the rear seatbelts flap around making a horrible noise with the front windows down?

Thinking I might have to do them up just to stop the noise, never had it in any other BMW, Holden, Kia, Mitsubishi kr Toyota I have owned.
