MK5 Golf Gti 3" exhaust system. Designed and manufactured in England using European stainless steel.

It's a two piece system, joined with a Tig welded two bolt flange arrangement, ensuring that it if need be, it comes apart as easily as it went on. The only welds along the entire length of the pipe run are the ones at the flanges and the silencers giving optimum flow and reliability.

Our products usually have at least one unique feature. For this, we've designed an additional mounting point which helps keep the exhaust from moving around under G force loading, helping to prevent any annoying knocking or damage. 

We've had this system in testing since early 2014 on a range of different cars. The test vehicles were a factory spec Mk5 Gti, a stage 2 Scirocco and a MK2 Leon Cupra R with a TTE hybrid turbo.

They're surprisingly civilised at low revs, when coupled to the silenced version of our downpipe. If you fit it to a car that doesn't have a centre silencer, it's likely to be quite loud! Here's a video of the exhaust hooked up to the silenced version of our 3.5" downpipe.

Does it Drone?

Hell No! The most common cause for drone is when people fit high flow downpipes and exhausts but don't have the software updated to account for the quicker spool of the turbo. The car can't control the boost when it arrives lower down in the rev range, so when cruising at part throttle, the ECU closes the throttle plate and opens the wastegate to stop the car running away with you. This is what causes the "Drone"

Another cause, can be when the gas speed stalls. This is is sometimes caused when fitting a high flow aftermarket catback to an OEM downpipe. A given amount of gas will travel faster in a smaller diameter pipe. If that gas suddenly goes into a much larger diameter pipe, there's a risk of it stalling and making a much deeper sound.

There are other scenarios but we'll leave it there!

We've tried to make this as non technical as possible, brushing the surface of the subject. But we hope that you get the idea. 

We assume that you will be hooking up to an aftermarket downpipe, so we include a butt joint sleeve clamp with the exhaust. However, if you are fitting this to a car with a standard downpipe, please contact us, so that we can substitute that clamp for a reducer.
