Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK2 Tiguan AWD fit front-wheel-drive models?

No. APR states that this Catback Exhaust for MK2 Tiguan fits only the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase Tiguan. APR builds a separate catback for the front-wheel-drive Tiguan, so owners should confirm whether their vehicle has 4Motion all-wheel drive before ordering either version.

Will the APR Tiguan exhaust change how the rear looks?

No. The system ends in a hidden 3 inch exit in the same position as the factory exit, so the rear of the Tiguan looks unchanged. The difference is the sound, which becomes deeper and more confident, especially under acceleration.

Is the APR Tiguan exhaust loud?

APR tuned the brushed straight-through muffler to smooth the 2.0 TSI note into a deep growl without adding rasp or drone. The result is noticeably fuller than stock under load, yet calm enough for an SUV that carries family and luggage on long highway trips.

What is the APR Tiguan exhaust made from?

APR hand-crafts the system from T304 stainless steel with TIG welding throughout and a brushed finish, using full 3 inch mandrel-bent tubing. T304 resists corrosion from road salt and moisture, and the complete system weighs less than the factory exhaust it replaces.

Is the APR Tiguan catback easy to install?

Yes. APR describes it as a direct bolt-on that is easy to install, with strong brackets, OEM-style slip clamps and Torca AccuSeal T304 clamps that locate on the factory mounting points. A capable owner with a lift or safe stands and hand tools can fit it in a single session.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK2 Volkswagen Tiguan AWD

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK2 Volkswagen Tiguan AWD gives the long-wheelbase 4Motion Tiguan a deeper, more confident note while keeping the clean, hidden exit Volkswagen designed for it. The system runs full 3 inch mandrel-bent T304 stainless tubing, larger than the factory piping, through a brushed straight-through muffler that smooths the 2.0 TSI into a growl without rasp or drone. It is also lighter than the exhaust it replaces. For a Tiguan owner who wants the vehicle to sound more spirited without announcing the change to everyone parked behind it, it is a discreet, well-built choice.

Design and Performance

The hidden 3 inch exit tucks under the rear bumper exactly where the factory exit sits, so the look of the vehicle is unchanged. Strong brackets, OEM-style slip clamps and Torca AccuSeal T304 clamps hold the system in place, and the low-profile routing suits a lowered Tiguan as well as a standard one.

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.
