Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Golf R fit the pre-facelift car?

No. APR built the Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Golf R for the facelifted 2018 and 2019 car only, and says so on its own fitment notes. The earlier MK7 Golf R from 2015 to 2017 takes a separate APR catback made for that car, so check the model year before ordering.

Does the APR Golf R catback keep the factory valves?

Yes. APR casts its own valve housings and brackets so the factory electronic actuators bolt straight on, which means the Golf R drive modes still control when the valves open and close. Comfort settings stay quieter for daily use, and the full sound arrives when the valves open.

Will the APR MK7.5 Golf R catback drone?

APR fitted a Helmholtz resonator that reduces the unwanted frequencies behind highway drone, working alongside straight-through absorption mufflers that deepen the note without rasp or restriction. With the factory valves also retained, the system keeps a calmer tone at cruise than an unvalved straight pipe.

Are the exhaust tips included?

Yes. Four removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips come with the system, held by Torca AccuSeal T304 tip clamps. Because they are removable, they can be swapped later for other APR tip styles and finishes without any cutting or welding on the system itself.

Is the APR catback heavier than the factory exhaust?

No. APR states that the system adds no weight compared to stock, even though it runs a 3 inch main pipe, a cast quad splitter and larger 4 inch tips. Thin-wall T304 stainless steel keeps the mass in check while resisting corrosion over the life of the car.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Volkswagen Golf R

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Volkswagen Golf R is built for the facelifted car and keeps everything that makes the factory system livable, the electronic valves included, while giving the 2.0 TSI a richer, deeper voice. A single 3 inch mandrel-bent pipe in brushed T304 stainless steel runs into a cast 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch splitter, and four removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips finish the rear. Despite the larger piping and tips, APR holds the weight level with stock. It suits the Golf R owner who wants a fuller sound and a cleaner look at the back without sacrificing the quiet mode.

Design and Performance

Straight-through brushed absorption mufflers deepen the note without restriction, and a Helmholtz resonator cancels the unwanted frequencies that would otherwise drone at cruise. Cast valve housings and brackets accept the factory electronic actuators, so the drive modes keep their control over volume, and every joint is TIG-welded with argon back-purging for clean, strong internal welds.

T304 stainless steel with argon-back-purged TIG welding
Single 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch mandrel-bent brushed tubing
Cast 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch splitter
Straight-through sound absorption mufflers and a Helmholtz resonator

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.
