I didn't get the part number, sorry. I can see they have 3 different sizes of mufflers with 3in inlet and outlets but I'm not sure what the dimensions of the muffler are.

Muffler mechanic said he had it for about 3 years on a shelf and was going to install a hot dog res when he remembered the magnaflow.
He claimed the hot dog would sit too low whereas the magna fits just right.

Will a Golf R wagon rear exhaust be the same?

No, it's a split system. Completely different and incompatible.

Thanks for that, I did some further research last night and came to that conclusion.

Still haven't got my car but should be picking up an R exhaust Saturday.
So next question -
1) R exhaust with stock resonator valves closed
2) R exhaust with stock resonator valves open
3) R exhaust with resonator delete valves closed
4) R exhaust with resonator delete valves open
5) R exhaust with resonator delete valves switchable
I'm strongly leaning towards 5.
Thoughts?

6. R exhaust with 3 inch downpipe valves open

It really depends how loud you want it.
The Tiguan has a centre muffler at the rear of the stock DP. The Golf R centre muffler is in the catback section.
All the aftermarket DPs are designed for Golf so are just straight pipe after the cat. It depends how f you’re going to install a higher flow DP.
But if you want noise you need to remove both centre mufflers and open the valves. This can be a bit drones especially on cold start so my (personal) preference is to run with valves closed.
If I’m going to go for a run through the hills I’ll open them manually but other than that I’ll keep them closed.
