Tiguan Exhaust

[Dutch77]

I'm surprised now that Tiguan is selling reasonably into the USA and the mod scene is active that there hasn't been a system built yet - there'd be bigger demand than for the SQ5 which has options both USA and UK.

As for the Tiguan R, that's been on the cards for so long I think we all fell asleep. I'd certainly have at least looked at it when shopping this time around. As it was it was, only the X3 M40i was on the list besides SQ5; I can't buy a MB if it doesn't have 63 in the nomenclature.

The problem is that the only engine/type of Tiguan available in the US market is the 132TSI B cycle engine in the LWB Tiguan (Locally called Allspace). This is probably not the sportiest of models given the vehicle size/weight and output. Plus they don't have the DSG they get the 8 speed auto which is slower again...

So nobody is going to put an aftermarket exhaust on a car that does 0-100 in 9.1 secs (AWD).

Fair call.

The UK/Euro market is big enough though, so still no excuses.

Back in the sixties we put aftermarket exhausts on cars that did 0-100 in 20 seconds or more.

Yip your 9.1sec awd suv. Will start with the exhaust and end up a itr 475 tyre smoking Supercar defeating monster.

Seriously though. Exhaust is purely for sound no days. (Dp excluded).

Gee that was quick, the side valve morris minor I had a copper system on did not get to sixty except down a steep hill then stopping it was the big problem.

Given the Tig 162 already has a Haldex system it "should" just be an engine swap and I can't see that being any more than $3,500 given that the AWD system has to be around similar sort of $

Agreed, but the R-line option is a $4k upgrade just for body kit and R badges, so imagine they would push closer to $8k I would think. Maybe throw in the AID to differentiate some more from 162?

Anyway if they did bring in a Tig206 then I can't see too many people going for the 162

Like the GTI and Golf R, I think there’s room for both...

They all need Hiclones on them to help decrease fuel consumption as one helps by 20% according to advertising.

Im going to fit 2 and reap the rewards. Might also fit a Brock Polariser as well to get to 50 % saving.

oh snap! a tiguan R



anyway.. back on topic; finally got the R muffler fitted and very happy with the result

MK7 Golf R muffler $100
Res delete $150
trim removal DIY
Muffler retrofit $300 (left the valves closed)
...DSG farts at 3k rpm

Echoing others thoughts- this is how it should come from factory. It looks better and sounds better than stock. If you are considering this, highly recommend

thanks to twyat1 for taking all my questions and all the others for pioneering this.

Pic of the connection of the R muffler to stock system? Did you extend the tips or place muffer furter to the rear to suit?
