Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK7 Golf R fit the facelift car?

No. APR built the Catback Exhaust for MK7 Golf R for the pre-facelift 2015 to 2017 car only. The facelifted MK7.5 Golf R from 2018 and 2019 takes a separate APR system, so check the model year and the rear styling of the car before ordering the correct version.

Is the APR MK7 Golf R exhaust covered by a warranty?

Yes. APR lists a limited lifetime warranty for this system, which it designs, develops, assembles and quality-controls in-house in Opelika, Alabama. Combined with T304 stainless construction and argon back-purged welds, it suits an owner planning to keep an early Golf R for many years.

Does the APR Golf R catback keep the factory valves?

Yes. Cast valve housings and brackets accept the factory electronic actuators, so the drive modes keep control of the valves. The car stays calmer in normal driving and opens up when the valves open, without any extra wiring, controllers or valve simulators to install.

Will the APR MK7 Golf R exhaust drone?

APR includes a Helmholtz resonator that cancels the frequencies that cause drone at highway speed, and pairs it with straight-through absorption mufflers that deepen the note without rasp. Together with the retained valves, the exhaust stays comfortable on long drives.

Does the APR system add weight to the Golf R?

No. APR states that the system adds no weight over the factory exhaust, even with a 3 inch main pipe, a cast splitter and four 4 inch tips. Thin-wall T304 stainless steel keeps the mass down while standing up to corrosion through winters and summers alike.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen Golf R

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK7 Volkswagen Golf R is made for the pre-facelift car, the 2015 to 2017 Golf R built before the facelift. APR designs, develops, assembles and quality-checks the system in-house, and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty. A single 3 inch brushed T304 pipe feeds a cast splitter into quad 2.5 inch outlets and four 4 inch polished slash-cut tips, with the factory valves kept in control of the volume. For an early Golf R owner who intends to keep the car, it is a durable, well-supported way to give the 2.0 TSI a richer voice.

Design and Performance

Straight-through brushed absorption mufflers deepen the note without restriction, while a Helmholtz resonator targets the specific frequencies that turn into drone at cruise. Cast valve housings and brackets take the factory electronic actuators, and argon back-purged TIG welds keep every seam clean inside and out, all without adding weight over the factory system.

T304 stainless steel with argon-back-purged TIG welding
Single 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch mandrel-bent brushed tubing

Four removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips are included
APR rates this catback as not affecting emissions, which makes it legal for sale and use on emissions-controlled vehicles

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.
