Tiguan Exhaust

[tigger73]

can anyone confirm is the Allspace has the same rear exhaust setup as the 5seater?

It’ll be similar just extended in the middle.

It really depends how loud you want it.

It depends how f you’re going to install a higher flow DP.

Won't be installing a downpipe but will go stage 1 after a few thousand kays.

You'll enjoy that!!!!

Caught up with Tigger73 over the weekend. Enjoyed checking out his car.
I did a quick exhaust comparison between the 2 cars in the carpark which was windy, not ideal I know.
Hopefully still helpful for those still deciding what they want to do.

I haven't dismantled the valve actuators so cannot open the valves manually so don't have that to compare as well.

Awesome. A great service to the Tig community.

Assuming Tigger73 has a 3" DP, do you have one also veew?

I have the standard DP, he probably has the 3" with his Stage 3 upgrade.
I'll update the video to include that.

It was good to finally catch up and compare notes. I actually quite like how yours sounds on the inside - it's there but still quite subtle burbles and pops.

Yes I have a 3" DP with high flow 200 cell cat, no centre resonator and then the R rear muffler with either valves open or closed (I generally run the system with valves closed).

Thanks for the vid, very helpful. They don't really sound like the golf Rs I've driven. Those were much more smooth sounding. Do you think it is the res delete creating that bit of rasp?

If you're inside a Golf R then you need to disable the Soundaktor as a starter to actually hear the "real" engine/exhaust rather than the "fake" piped noise. And yes res delete does make the exhaust slightly more raspy - it's not a great sound on cold start to be honest but after it warms up it's fine.

Found a video on fb today of someone with the stock resonator left in.

Smooths it out a lot, however it's still a ways from what I wish the cars sounded like. Now to pour over aftermarket muffler sounds for a few weeks...

That is with the resonator removed. You don't get that rasp on start up with a resonator.
He also has the stock downpipe connected.
He does have it rigged so that the res delete pipe can be unclasped and the resonator put back in place in a matter of minutes.
I know this because I bought a Golf R muffler off him

Hmm that would go against what the owner wrote in the comments at the same time the video was posted.

"Is that with a res delete too?"

"the stock Tiguan resonator left in place for now"

My mistake then. Those comments weren't present on that specific clip when I looked.
