What is the PERFECT Exhaust? Catback | MK7 GTI

I had the xforce. Upgraded to the Bluetooth controller. Trust me. Worth every penny. You set it an forget it. You don't have to open the app everytime you get into your car. It makes a big difference and you fine tune it to your liking. Plus, you can connect it to your obd2 and let it be controlled by parameters you set. For example, if you go over a certain rpm, speed, or throttle input, it'll open wider to a preset amount that you set. I had mine set at 24% open and 100% open if I went over 3400rpms, 90%throttle input, or over 90mph. It was the perfect setup for me

I love this setup. Had this exact combo for about a year now and its honestly amazing. Convenient for when you're near a cop and sounds amazing during spirited driving. Especially with a tune, it makes the car slightly louder since the engine is working a little harder. Drone is rare. Had the same fitment problem but only spent 25 bucks to get it cut and welded together. Worth the money!

YOOOO first time I’ve seen someone use one of vids! Great video dude!!

Great video, really helpful. I bought a stage 2 golf R that came with an xforce downpipe + stock exhuast combo and its very loud. Id love the option to have quieter cold starts and less drone at low RPM though. Those Xforce cat backs are pretty expensive here in aus but this video has made me strongly consider it.

Oh sweet, a part 2.

Your videos are the best gti videos

Great video especially bringing to light the fitment of different aftermarket parts. Not sure if I want to mess up MY ultimate sound with my Neuspeed catback. I do like the valves though. Keep up the good vids.

Always wanted the xforce but I didn't want to spend the extra $500 so I went with MBRP which isn't super loud and has a deeper tone, but once I got a catted downpipe with it, it was loud, sounded more like a tractor, and drone was unbearable. But after I got the Vibrant 17950 Resonator welded on to my catback, love the way it sounds and to me its the best sound. Not loud but loud when you floor it, little to no drone, and deep tone. A route I can recommend going if someone doesnt want to spend the money on a xforce but wants a catback and plans on getting a dp.

I have a GTI as well Can’t wait to spin the block

I would like to have the xforce valve open and close. But I have issues with any valve openers. In the long run they will get stuck and you will never get to fix it unless you buy a new one.

I had this exact setup but it was a cheap cutout valve and unfortunately it leaked sound and air when closed. This meant that when it was open it was all good no problem straight piped, but when you closed it just didn’t close properly at all

That 2.5" OEM clamp, can it be replaced by a 3" one so that the whole system remains 3" all the way?

Hello guys, picking up my 2019 gti perf. this weekend, has anyone found any informative material on akrap cat back? Sounds best to me on videos however unsure how reliable these are and wanted some first hand accounts, appreciate the help : )

Did the CTS downpipe left you with a CEL? (If yes, you think a 200 cell dp would give it too) I was thinking of using this combo and was wondering if the difference in diameter was a big problem

Is the valves open sound with a tune included or is it just the downpipe and exhaust?

great video, i have an XForce exhaust on my mk7 R. This is not a plug for my channel but if you are curious how it sounds on a golf R I have a few RU-vid shorts uploaded on my channel. but I do agree it is a fantastic exhaust.

this is the exhaust I've settled on too... can't wait to slap in on my GTI one day... come on XRP LFG!.

Should have eliminated the 2.5" factory connections to a full 3"

After tune i had to take off the first xforce muffler and set a straight pipe, so much better. Do recommend

Will the power hookup for valve system still work if i have a helix subwoofer in trunk already?

What wing is that

Wouldn’t the back pressure from the valve being fully closed/open affect the tune?

Do you have any second thoughts? Are you still happy with it?

HottdangHuang!!

How does this catback compare to the Armytrix catback? I am very indecisive which one to go with, I am going to be using a catted DP with it

Why can’t I find one for a MK7 GTI with a Varex muffler on it? Anyone see one?

Where's Josh's shop? Im in DE...

hope to sponsor

Mk7's sound crappy with full exhausts.. I stuck to a DP only.

Here in aus, everyone runs the invidia r400 for their gti or r. Way better than xforce and everybody here in aus agrees.

Give me the music 🎶 from the awesome VR6 engine! Sorry, but it sounds like crap!

xforce sounds terrible! scorpion systems from the uk is by far the best and its not even close.

M'en i love the sound of your car that the.perf3ct.exhaust
