Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 GTI TCR fit a standard GTI?

No. APR states that the Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 GTI TCR fits only the GTI TCR. APR makes separate MK7.5 systems for the standard GTI, so owners should confirm that their car is a TCR before choosing this version of the exhaust.

How loud is the APR TCR exhaust without the front muffler?

It is the louder of the two APR TCR systems. With no front muffler, only the straight-through rear mufflers shape the sound, which gives the 2.0 TSI a deep, present growl. APR tuned the mufflers to avoid rasp and drone, and a quieter center unit can be fitted later.

Can the APR TCR catback be made quieter later?

Yes. The rear mufflers accept an optional easy-change center unit, so the volume can be reduced without replacing the exhaust. Owners who want a permanently calmer car from the start can choose the version with a front muffler instead. Either way the flow path stays the same.

Is the APR TCR catback lighter than the factory exhaust?

Yes. APR states that the system weighs less than the factory exhaust in every configuration, even with its larger 3 inch main pipe, cast splitter and 4 inch tips. Thin-wall T304 stainless steel keeps the weight down and resists corrosion.

What tips come with the APR GTI TCR exhaust?

Two removable 4 inch polished slash-cut single-wall tips come with the system, held by Torca AccuSeal T304 clamps. They are larger than the factory tips and can be swapped for other APR tip styles and finishes later without any cutting.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Volkswagen GTI TCR

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK7.5 Volkswagen GTI TCR is the louder of APR’s two systems for the TCR, built without a front muffler so the most powerful front-drive GTI of its generation sounds the part. A single 3 inch mandrel-bent pipe in brushed T304 stainless runs to a cast splitter and dual 2.5 inch rear pipes, finished by a pair of removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips, and the system is lighter than stock in every configuration. It suits a TCR driven on track days and back roads; owners who spend more time on the highway should look at the front-muffler version.

Design and Performance

The brushed straight-through rear mufflers accept an optional easy-change center unit, so the sound can be dialed back later without changing the system, and APR tuned them to deepen the note without rasp or drone. Argon back-purged TIG welds and a cast splitter give clean, smooth transitions, while precise brackets and OEM-style slip clamps make it a direct bolt-on.

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.
