Does the Cat-Back Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen GTI need a tune?

No. COBB designed the Cat-Back Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen GTI as a direct replacement for the factory system and states that no tuning is required. It suits a stock car or one already running an Accessport map, and the existing map stays as it is.

Will it bolt to the factory downpipe?

Yes. The system ships with an adapter that tapers down to meet the factory downpipe. If the car has the COBB 3 inch downpipe, the adapter is left out and the cat-back bolts straight to that downpipe at the full 3 inch diameter.

How loud is it compared with the stock GTI exhaust?

It is louder. Engine resonance and turbo sound come through more clearly, but COBB keeps the volume in check with an 18 inch inline resonator ahead of a 12 inch COBB stamped muffler, so the system stays livable on a daily driven GTI.

Can this cat-back be used on an emissions controlled vehicle?

Yes. COBB classifies this cat-back as not an emissions related part, which means it can be used on emission controlled vehicles. No Executive Order number is listed for it because COBB treats it as outside the emissions system of the car.

Does it fit a 2018 or newer MK7.5 GTI or a Golf R?

No. Confirmed applications for part number 5V2100 cover the 2015 to 2017 USDM Golf GTI and the 2014 to 2016 world market Golf GTI, manual and DSG. The 2018 and later MK7.5 GTI and the Golf R are not listed, so contact us first.

COBB Tuning Cat-Back Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen GTI

COBB Tuning’s Cat-Back Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen GTI replaces the factory cat-back with 304 stainless steel tubing, a 3 inch main section that splits into dual 2.5 inch runs, and a pair of dual-walled 4 inch tips stamped with the COBB logo. It suits the 2015 to 2017 GTI owner who wants a fuller voice and a stronger rear view without touching the tune, since COBB states no tuning is required. Those hoping for big power gains from a cat-back alone should pair it with a downpipe and a matching map.

Design and Sound

COBB tuned this system to bring forward engine resonance and turbo noise while keeping the volume in check, using an 18 inch inline resonator followed by a 12 inch COBB stamped muffler. The supplied adapter lets the Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen GTI bolt up to the factory downpipe, while owners running the COBB 3 inch downpipe can leave the adapter out and connect the two directly.

About COBB Tuning

COBB Tuning was founded by Trey Cobb in 1999 in Rockwall, Texas, as a Subaru performance shop in the back of his father’s tire shop, and is now headquartered in Austin, Texas. In 2004 COBB introduced the Accessport, a handheld ECU tuning device that flashes COBB’s off-the-shelf maps or a custom tune and doubles as a real-time gauge and datalogger. The range has since grown from Subaru to Ford, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Toyota platforms, with intakes, intercoolers, exhausts and flex fuel kits engineered alongside the tuning, and many COBB parts carry California Air Resources Board Executive Order numbers for use in all 50 states.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
