Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK6 GTI bolt straight on?

Not quite. APR states that fitting the Catback Exhaust for MK6 GTI requires trimming the factory midpipe, so plan for a cut during installation. Once the midpipe is trimmed, the system locates with OEM-style slip clamps and precise brackets on the factory hanger points.

How does the APR MK6 GTI exhaust sound?

A single brushed straight-through muffler smooths the 2.0 TSI into a deep growl without restriction, rasp or drone. With the 3 inch main pipe and dual 2.5 inch rear pipes larger than stock, the engine has noticeably more presence under acceleration while staying livable at cruise.

What tips come with the APR MK6 GTI catback?

Two removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips are supplied, fixed with Torca AccuSeal T304 tip clamps. They are larger than the factory tips and give the rear of the MK6 a motorsport-inspired look, and they can be swapped for other APR tips later.

Is the APR MK6 GTI exhaust lighter than the factory system?

Yes. APR states that the system weighs less than the factory exhaust, despite its larger piping and tips. Thin-wall T304 stainless steel with argon back-purged TIG welds keeps the weight down while resisting the corrosion that affects older steel exhausts.

Does the APR exhaust fit the MK6 Golf R?

No. APR lists this system for the MK6 GTI from 2010 to 2014 with the 2.0 TSI. The MK6 Golf R has a different exhaust layout with center-exit tips, so it is not covered by this catback and needs a system made for that car.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK6 Volkswagen GTI

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK6 Volkswagen GTI gives the 2010 to 2014 GTI a fuller voice and a cleaner rear end than the factory system ever offered. A single 3 inch mandrel-bent pipe in brushed T304 stainless steel flows through a cast splitter into dual 2.5 inch pipes and a pair of removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips, all larger than stock and lighter overall. One brushed straight-through muffler deepens the note without rasp or drone. It suits a MK6 owner keeping a well-sorted car for the long run, provided the factory midpipe can be trimmed during installation.

Design and Performance

The cast splitter gives the exhaust a smooth transition from the single pipe to the dual rear outlets, and argon back-purged TIG welds keep the inside of every joint clean. Rugged brackets and OEM-style slip clamps hold the system in position, and the low-profile route suits lowered cars.

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.
