Tiguan Aftermarket Exhausts

[Suffolk]

Update, my mate decided to get his 42dd downpipe fixed as it touches in too many places. Poor design and not worth throwing away, since he spent that much. It ended up being too short in many places and wasn't bent enough in various places. Modifying it will cost you at least another $400 to make it fit correctly. Be warned.

Good news! At least he decided to go forward and get it fixed It may not be that bad to fix I hope, I have seen in some cases exhaust system fitted to one car will not fit correctly on another similar car due to bad design, custom build etc.

Hope MGV don't get a heart attack !! hehehe ..

He will, don't worry.

Will post up my experiences the week after next... I ended up opting for their stainless version & will be getting Lucas_R's recommended exhaust guy to fit it up for me.

Suffolk, thought i saw somewhere you had a stage II tune, did you get a custom-build pipe made?

I hope it works out for everyone with one of the new 42DD DP's. All the pain will be forgotten once you have your new stage 2 tune

Now that i'm over Ramee's cruel use of emoji's, i'll just wait for my girlfriend to trolley/drag/push this pipe home to me from the other side of the world & reserve the right to judge the product on my own experiences rather than a single case of negative feedback from someones mate... It may just turn out to be a beauty!

i am a little apprehensive, though...

I was lucky enough to get a Apr downpipe in 2010, before they stopped selling them.

hehe Yes! or She may forget that pipe somewhere on the way to save you from the trouble

Hmmm, lucky! Did they stop making them entirely for the Tiguan, or just stop exporting them?

On a side note/question, what is the lifespan of an exhaust system? One reason i went for the stainless one was that i imagined it to be longer lasting than mild steel, & live by the sea...
