Tiguan Aftermarket Exhausts

Drone at 1750rpm's has all but dissapeared as the system beds in and coats itself in exhaust ash.
It is only noticeable under load for now.

Resonance is still there at 3000rpm's but if you are drviing it regularly you can easily shift at 3k and miss this.
So you only get it for a short while under wide open throttle.

Just thought i should add in another point about the delete pipe.
If you push the car up to 4k or more RPM you get that nice exhaust pop (DSG fart) as the backpressure changes when you shift gears which is nice.

going to try to get a driveby video for you soon as well as some better pictures.

Car is booked in for 2 weeks time to get cat-back exhaust and new front mount intercooler fitted.... plus an updated tune file.
All ready for the Adelaide dyno day on the 21st Sept

Please get some before and after soundbites for us!

I'll look to get some "before" and "after" clips, however I'll probably have to borrow someone elses unmodified Tig for a true "before" as mine already has a 3" DP fitted.

The new exhaust is not really a performance upgrade - mainly for making the right noise out the back. Keen to see if I can get some DSG farts happening on gear changes.

Also the FMIC won't give any real world performance for me either as I don't drive that hard (car doesn't go on the track). All I'm hoping is to keep the temps down when driving up hills particulalry on hot days so it's a bit nicer on the engine.

Great.. I am really interested about cat back exhaust.. Are these still in beta stage or can I get one. Also are these quad exhaust type?

Love to hear the sound it will make... I just want to hear sound after instal , already know how bad it in stock

You'll have to talk to Simon at Viezu about the cat-back exhaust - these are pre-launch but production models (final test fits were done on another Tig the other week).

I believe they want to launch the whole range together - CAI, DP, CBE, FMIC. I know the facelift Tig they had in recently has different intercooler piping so this has thrown the spanner in the works a bit (i.e. intercooler off the Mk6 GTI doesn't fit). Just a word of warning if you're looking at intercoolers.

The exhausts will be twin exit type (similar to current Tig exhaust) as quad exit would involve making/fitting a whole new rear diffuser/bumper. This would make the whole thing a lot more expensive if you were to do it properly so at this stage it's twin exit only.

I have seen a couple of examples of quad exit and they do look good. I think some people cut the rear diffuser with a hacksaw for the second set of tips, but I'm not that keen on going down this path. The only other option that I am aware of is an ABT kit.
