Easy Install -No cutting, no welding, no hassle
The iE Catback for your 2022+ VW MK8 GTI delivers a primal scream while kicking the exhaust drone to the curb with proprietary DroneTrap technology. Deep rumbles at low revs and mighty roars at high RPMs are topped off with large twin 4” slash-cut tips for those bonus-style points. All from a simple bolt-on upgrade. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
The dual oversized 4" exhaust tips will make your GTI look fast, even when it’s standing still. These slash-cut tips feature a motorsport-inspired brushed finish with adjustable depth for dialing your aggressive looks up or down.
iE's advanced DroneTrap technology takes away the buzz-killing drone leaving only the sweet song of your people. DroneTrap captures the pulse waves that make up the engine's exhaust note. Here, a mathematically tuned resonator draws these waves in and an internal port resonates the waves against each other. Annoying waves that cause drone are canceled. Only the good stuff remains—a full, rich audacious call of the wild.
Sound may be the main feature of the Catback Exhaust, but durability and reliability play a big part too. Catback Exhaust is made from corrosion-resistant, mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel plus lots of structural details for added strength and integrity like hand-TIG-welded joints. The stamped, multi-wall muffler prevents warping. Reinforced hangers keep mountings secure, distributes weight, and reduces stress and vibration. Wide-width stretch clamps keep connections tight and leak-free.
For those craving more sound, pairing the iE Catback with an aftermarket downpipe takes volume to extreme levels... great for track use but can be overwhelming on the street. The optional Sport Muffler will help you find the perfect balance, toning down your exhaust setup to a more street-friendly level for everyday driving.
Finding the right balance for the perfect exhaust note takes a lot of tweaks and changes to get it just right. We’ve thrown guesstimates and gut checks out the window and left the sound you’ve been looking for all this time. Use the table below to setup your dream exhaust sound.
