Volkswagen MK7 GTI Catback Exhaust by MAPerformance | 2015-2021 VW GTI

MAPerformance Volkswagen MK7 GTI Catback Exhaust System

Modern Automotive Performance is no stranger to designing high-performance exhausts for modern turbocharged vehicles, but for the MK7 GTI, we decided to go straight to the owners to determine what they wanted most in an exhaust solution.

Performance

Owners demand performance and performance is enhanced by decreasing the energy and effort that is required for exhaust gasses to pass through a system. To reduce restrictions, we used 3” inch diameter stainless steel tubing and meticulously designed the system with smooth, mandrel-bent routing. We also designed the long legs of the mid-pipe on our CNC mandrel bender to minimize the number of sections that had to be welded together, further decreasing areas that might create flow-robbing turbulence.

Another unique feature of our system is the ability to eliminate the factory slip joint connections on the front of the catback and the rear of the front pipe. We offer the “For use with MAP Downpipe” option that connects to the front of the downpipe via V-Band, offering the least restrictive catback on the market for the MK7 GTI.

Quality

What you can control in house, ultimately dictates the quality of the final product. Few other companies use in-house mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, but we do. Even though our state-of-the-art mandrel bender is CNC programmed, we even go a step further to measure the accuracy of each bend upon completion. From there, we carefully mock-up our exhausts on our custom-built in-house jigs to ensure the most accurate fitment possible. Next, our expert fabricators TIG weld each flange and joint with their superior back-purging techniques to ensure each weld lasts as long as the life of the car, while never leaking. Finally, each weld is inspected for imperfections before being sent off to our shipping department for shipment around the globe!

Made from high-quality 304 Stainless Steel our MK7 GTI Catback is a rare find. Most exhaust systems on the market are made from an inferior 409 Stainless and are prone to surface rust over time. Designed with performance and longevity in mind we're certain anyone in the market for an MK7 GTI Catback will be extremely pleased with the performance gains and exhaust sound of this system.

Sound

When it comes to the MK7 GTI Catback exhausts few things that matter as much as sound. Other companies design an exhaust for performance and fitment, but the resulting tone simply becomes the result. Here at Modern Automotive Performance, we take care to focus on the little details in order to bring out the best in each and every Catback we build.

That's just part of what makes the Modern Automotive Performance MK7 GTI Catback special. Of course, the sound it creates is nothing to shy away from either. You'll get an aggressive, throaty roar with the addition of a few extra ponies.
