+1 to Melbourne_Tiggy's comnments want to know how easy/hard and whether additional hangars were required. Also interested to find out where they connected into stock exhaust and how easy/hard it would be to put the old system back on.
It looks the goods. Any chance of a close-up of the tips and exhaust cut-out to see how much clearance you have (and whether you had to trim the cutout to make it fit).
I'm considering going down this path if it's a reasonably easy thing to reverse.
And of course sound clips once the valves are open!!![]()

I've tried to include as many images that show everything to hopefully answer anyone's questions. Clearance is really good, only notifications to the stock Mk7R muffler is the flanged connection and extension of the tips. Stock hanger positions on car and muffler. With the rear wiring, you can see that I've just clipped it higher. Unfortunately the stock clip position for the wiring is on the Exhuast Trim bracket.

I will post little video on the Australian Tiguan page of how it sounds.

VW Tiguan 162 TSI Highline w/ R-Line & DAP. Mods: OEM IS38 turbo, APR IS38 98 RON ECU tune, TVS Stage 2 + with custom TCU tune, APR Downpipe and resonator delete, APR turbo inlet, VWR turbo muffler delete, APR pendulum mount, APR dog bone insert, APR Open Pod Filter (MQB), RAMAIR intake tube, APR Red Ignition Coils, NGK R7437-9 Spark Plugs, DBA T3 slotted rotors front and T2 slotted rotors rear, ATE ceramic pads front and rear Vbox: 0-100 4.1s
Quite enjoying it to be honest, much quieter in the cabin and no drone. Still to remove the centre muffler but going to wait until turbo is fitted and tuned before making that move.
I had a rattle at idle but that was from when I removed the valve actuator and didn't fit it back properly. It wasn't in the grove for the valve, so it was able to move and was tapping closed. Easy fix.
