DRONETRAP ADVANTAGE

iE's advanced DroneTrap technology takes away the buzz-killing drone leaving only the sweet song of your people. DroneTrap captures the pulse waves that make up the engine's exhaust note. Here, a mathematically tuned resonator draws these waves in and an internal port resonates the waves against each other. Annoying waves that cause drones are canceled. Only the good stuff remains—a full, rich audacious call of the wild.

4" SLASH-CUT TIPS

The dual oversized 4" exhaust tips will make your Golf Rlook fast, even when it’s standing still. These slash-cut tips feature a motorsport-inspired brushed finish and adjustable depth to dial your aggressive looks up or down.

BUILT TO LAST

Sound may be the main feature of the Catback Exhaust, but durability and reliability play a big part, too. This Catback Exhaust is made from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel to resist corrosion with hand-TIG-welded joints, plus several structural details for added strength and integrity. The stamped, multi-wall muffler prevents warping and reduces stress. Reinforced hangers keep mountings secure and properly distribute the weight. Wide-width stretch clamps keep connections tight and leak-free.

ADVANCED R&D

iE employs 3D scanning and cutting-edge software to give them the edge with a high-resolution digital model of the VW MK8 chassis. This data allows engineers to maximize exhaust flow and optimize every inch of available space, ensuring a perfect fit with no rattles or rubbing.

INSTALLATION

No permanent mods or hassle to deal with on this one. Installing your new iE Catback Exhaust kit is straightforward. You’ll need a few basic tools. An auto lift is not necessary, but will make your life a lot easier (well, your installation, anyway).

Average installation time: 1-2 hours
