My car is now more famous than I’ll ever be! Thanks for the install guys. Car sounds great with the new muffler. No drone on the highway and it adds some nice noise as you climb the revs.
Definitely sounds better than stock. Did you change any other parts with the exhaust?
do you notice a difference from inside the car? would you do it again? im very interested in TCR for my MK7.5
Matthew Perri
Yes, you can tell a difference inside the car. Low rpm - below 3k, not so much, above that and you can tell a difference. It isn’t overbearing. Honestly, it is a good REAL substitute for the Soundaktor. I didn’t notice drone on the highway either.
@@christopherkolbash awesome! Thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoy it.
And the price is cheap to compairing to other exhausts! Win-win 😄
This is a very popular upgrade over here in Europe as it makes the GTI sound like a GTI again. In stock form the GTI sounds like a 1.2TSI unfortunately. The 3 sets of dimples are only there to indicate where to cut the 65mm pipe (the center ones obviously). VW has been doing those dimples for decades on all their models. The sound of the CSS muffler will improve over time, it needs to be coated with carbon to develop that really deep sound. So give it a couple of thousand kilometers to run in. If you don't want to cut your stock exhaust, you can go crazy and add the CSS mid muffler as well, to get the full CSS sound experience. The main improvement comes from the rear muffler though (as I have tried both). Last but not least, the CSS muffler tips are 100mm diameter versus 80mm for the stock. It may not sound much bigger but it's very clearly visible increase while still fitting nicely inside the rear diffusor...
GTI_CHHA great context brother.
Also check out how the Vagsport Resonator Delete kit sounds on my Stage 1 stock GTI Clubsport exhaust! Bad Ass i can tell u my friends! Listen on my channel! 👍
The CSS mid muffler isnt that good, that one wil resonate more then the orginal GTI mid silencer. I can tell becouse I buyed the CSS mid silencer by myself and the sound will get more quieter. If you want to have more info/deatails you can contact me on Instagram @ RICK_GTi
@@tredfxman your videos are like 10fps, foff
@@hollandbydrone After some more experimenting I have to fully agree with you. The CS-S resonator (mid muffler as you call it) makes the sound quieter. The best sound, in my view, can be obtained by using the stock (GTI) resonator combined with the CS-S rear muffler. The CS-S resonator has more 'holes' compared to the stock resonator, that's the simple reason.
Much better. I guess I never realized how quiet the stock Gti exhaust is.
Quote of the year from Paul so far; "Also you want to lube it before. You can't go in dry, you better not go in dry." lol! Epic...
These dudes are freaking hilarious. I can't imagine spending a day with these guys lol
This sounds perfect. I wish they made one for the R

Sounds Great 🏆
That does sound really good.
Some context since I’m the one usually asking questions and searching comments but not seeing replies: my car is stock except for a euro short throw shifter that I bought from ShopDAP. This muffler seemed like a similar OEM+ upgrade. I didn’t want anything loud or something that would drone on the highway. As for price - I didn’t buy mine from ShopDAP, but I think Paul’s price is relatively inline with what you would pay to ship it here from an overseas site. As for difference over stock - yep. Not a huge difference, but you notice it at startup and when climbing above 3k revs. For me, it is a fairly inexpensive way to get more sound, but not too much sound. You can do a quick search and find even better drive by and comparison videos on RUclips. Honestly, those videos sold me on the CSS muffler.
did you notice any performance gains? was the Css muffler also saving weight?
@@KC-lg8qf I’m not sure if there is a weight savings. If there is, it is minor. No performance improvement by my butt dyno. The improvement is in exhaust sound. It really makes the car sound great on cold start and throughout the rev range. The tips are bigger too so it adds a bit in appearance.
@@christopherkolbash Thank you!
Ordered! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Carlos saludos tienes algún video para compartir ?? Any video for share with me ?
I’m looking one of those for buy
any additional power noticed with the clubsport exhhaust.....i have seen this listed as a performance upgrade as well.
@@KC-lg8qf no, not really. Also Went stage 1 tune and the muffler sounds really good along with a upgraded turbo inlet pipe
@Carlos Sanchez Awesome! I have been wanting one for so long. Literally might place the order today.
Would that club sport muffler be able to fit on a mk6 GTI easily?
I have one. Can be ordered from Europe and shipped to NA from a couple of places. They really are the best exhaust upgrade for the MK7 GTI.
Whered you order from if you dont mind me asking
Jonathan Nieto - cars245.com, they are based in Latvia.
Nice!.. Mine got an apr turbo back. Sounds good too.
Interested but I have a 3 inch downpipe with stock catback now and am wondering if adding club sport muffler would be really loud, as my car is also a daily driver.
I’ve heard MK7 mufflers are direct bolt on for the MK2 Tiguan. Would this muffler work? Thanks
Would there be any benefit to a performance pack VAQ differential over a mechanical limited slim? Also is it possible to install the VAQ on a vehicle that doesn’t have a performance pack; I know dap sells the control module and oil pump but is there anything else needed besides software?
I want to switch my Mk7 TDI to a GTI style dual setup. Shouldn’t this work for it also?
What would you all recommend for an MK7 GLI??? Don't seem to be too many options
What exhaust clamp would be recommended for fitting this onto the Golf 1.8t?
Will this fit an mk6 gti?
Is the size of the suitcase the same? I have a verus engineering rear diffuser that is quite tight down there
Did the TCR muffler, it's awesome!
is it louder than a cat back no res i have awe track and i want something louder (stock tune)
GOODSATIVA I’m thinking of getting AWE’s track. What are your thoughts on it?
@@GOODSATIVA Definitely not louder than that
I have the muffler and resonator from a tcr and its sound sooo much louder than the mk7 gti stock muffler and resonator!
@@kristofferfrid2195 wait the resonator is also different?
I have an mk6, any recommendations?
Will there be any droning if you install this in a decat APR stage 2 GTI? Thanks!
Sounds so good!! Anyone can do that install too! But you sinners filming vertically is just savage what’s going on LOL
70% of viewers watch on desktop, so we were doing some testing. It likely won’t happen again since the desktop experience is so terrible.
Good info thanks. I own a mk7.5 rabbit Model. I swear it sounds better than all gti 's. Hearing this, it sounds like mine...any thoughts on the rabbit exhaust?
The clubsport thing has less backpressure than the gti's? Its maybe lighter?
Is it true the 2018 up GTI has bigger piping different muffler , my 18 sounds louder than older mk7's
I did this with my mk7 gti and I love it. Sounds great
How loud is it on a cold start? I just don’t want to annoy any neighbors
notice any performance gains?????
I guess I’ll go ahead and get the TCR muffler.
What about the akrapovic that can be an option on the TCR? or is that not quite oem
Can i swap the stock gti mk7 exhaust to the tsi? From the resonator to the back?
Do you have the Clubsport S harness bar available?
Great stuff! Will this fit a 2017 Passat 2.0 TSI R Line (euro) ?
Would this fit on a mark seven regular golf as well?
TCR on MK7.5 sound the same ?
i put car soap on my exhaust hangers to get the rubber part off. also helps if you hold the muffler with your feet and pull the rubber with your hands
None of that is needed, just get the special pliers for it, it will make your life much easier.
Is there a difference between club sport and club sport s?
Was there an update required to drive with the muffler ??
Could this work on a MK7 1.8T sport wagon? I would like to install this and change the tips to Audi RS3 / TTRS exhaust tips.
Have you tested between euro and us Clubsport s mufflers. I know the euro mk7 have 1 car while we have 2 cats. I’d be interested to see the difference.
Can I connect this to my current set up, have a borla s-type catback exhaust
If i have the 2019 rabbit should i get the clubsport or tcr exhaust?
does the clubsport come with a clubsport s muffler? or only comes on the clubsport s model?
I did this, cheap and oem sound so still classy. Chavvy dsg cracks when wanted!
Exactly. The cracks are the loudest between 4,000 and 5,000 revs, not necessarily under WOT
@@GTI_CHHA exactly I don't get farts below 4,000 even with CSS muffler
@@christianbrugmann1546 Hmmm.. that's a little strange. I get DSG shifting farts also at lower RPMs, but it will requires some load. In manual mode or S the farts wil be more obvious.
@@GTI_CHHA and you have everything stock and CSS muffler?
@@christianbrugmann1546 I have always had the shifting farts, no matter the exhaust set-up. Of course, the 'fierceness' of the farts do change with exhaust set-up, that's clear. My GTI was model year 2014 (delivered June 2013) that was being delivered to Customers here in Germany. 2013 model year Mk7 GTIs were all dealer demo cars, but nothing much was different. Maybe you have a Mk7.5 (aka 'facelift') GTI with a 7-speed DSG? Due to particulate filter and more stringent CO2 and noise regulations, VW did remove the DSG farts, which dissapointed many buyers that had ordered a face-lifted GTI, expection everything to be 'better'.. Currently I am running a HJS (euro 6 emissions compatible) downpipe with CS-C resonator (mid-section) and CS-S muffler.
can i install this to my mk7 golf 1.4 TSI !?
Would this fit on an Alltrack?
Would this fit an Alltrack?
Will this fit 2019 vw beetle?
Will this fit on a MK7 Jetta GLI?
What about mk7.5 will this still fit ?
Has this upgrade been done on a Mk7.5 Gti?
Is there one similar for the 7.5 ?
will this fit a mk7.5 GLI?
Is there a way to know if its a club sport exhaust? Like stamped numbers? I bought my GTI used and it doesn’t have the stock muffler. But it looks stock sooooo I’m thinking its a club sport muffler now.....????
Yes, there's a sticker with the part number on the muffler, but the number is also stamped into the metal itself
Sooooo much better
Anyone know if this would fit a mk7 gli?
What about clubsport seats?
Interesting, it's definitely got a bit more of a growl but at the same time it's nowhere near what I think most people want. The sound people really want is locked behind a restrictive downpipe.
What are the differences between the clubsport s muffler and the TCR muffler?
if i remember correctly, its about a couple more inches of pipe total on each side of the exits to fit the mk7.5 rear valance . otherwise its the same exact muffler.
If you have a Mk7 gti facelift you need to go with the TCR muffler, if you go for the CSS on a mk7.5 it will not fit. The sound is almost exact the same. 👍
Does this fit a mk7.5
I hear that with the mk7 facelift the exhaust pipes are not wide enough to clear the rear bumper cutouts for them could anyone who has experienced this tell me if you need to extend them? Thanks.
You need the tcr muffler, same design updated tip demension.
Need something similar for Sportwagen/Alltrack
Looks a lot like the mk7.5 muffler wonder if is the same one I got on mine will this fit a 7.5?
No ! TCR for MK7.5
Is there a comparable version of this for the GLI (2019 specifically)? Does VW consider this a mod for warranty issues?
Well its a oem part so should be no problem
Also no there is no aggressive OEM muffler for the GLI
I find your video to be extremely useful. I actually got inspired and ordered the TCR muffler to fit in my 2021 GTI Autobahn. The install was done today and the sound is amazing. One thing to note though and i hope you might help: the stock exhaust tips on my GTI were on somewhat of a very slight upward slant (coming out of the rear diffuser) and they also seemed to be filling the area where the tips were coming out of. When we installed the TCR exhaust (done by a pro VW /Audi mechanic), the tips are straigter and seem to be a bit smaller? is that normal? i measured the tips of the TCR exhaust and they seem to be at 3.60 inch (outlet). I am thinking now of getting some bolt on slip on exhaust tips for those, can you recommend some that would fit? thanks and keep up the great videos!
Hey there! I'm planning on ordering this also, 2019 GTI Autobahn. I was thinking of the concern on the slanted part of the exhaust of the OEM and also how big the tips are. You mentioned they are actually small? Lemme know thanks
@@bigmama88885 Hi. So here is my 6 months update that will also answer your question. The difference between the original tips that were angled upward and the current TCR tips is not noticeable. I'm overly OCD and tbh I can't even see it now. So for that you shouldn't worry. When it comes to the tip size, the difference is not noticeable either as the TCR tips sit nicely in the rear valance. Now here is the fascinating thing: you will immediately notice a difference in sound, when turning the car on and when pulling on the first 3 gears as there is no drone on the highway.
6 months later and with the carbon build up, I hear slight farts when I redline on second and third gear and my GTI is not tuned. (only mods are turbo inlet, hose and filter ..in OEM BOX). I'm positive it will be a great mod for you. Hope that helps
@@mikeluv3773Hey! Thanks for the the quick response! Really appreciate your inputs. Hand to God I was about to purchase this from ShopDap within the hour until I came across your comments. Which had me fear for the worst! I too am really OCD about my car, I prefer to remain stock looking and keep my car crazy clean too haha. As long as the tips are the same sizing and the tail pipes are some what slated upwards I think I'll live haha. I wonder why that is from the TCR Muffler's installation angle? Or maybe the hangers are positioned? I was also thinking of clamping it instead of welding but that remains an open option when I recieve the parts. The noise you mentioned definitely has gotten my excitement for this setup. Safe riding and Happy New Year from Canada!
@@bigmama88885 hahahah I thought I was the only OCD person here lol so yeah you'll enjoy the muffler, you'll enjoy the sound, the look and how the car sounds each time you push that "start" button. I took mine to Rodgers performance in Ottawa, (yeah I'm in 🇨🇦 as well 😊) and what they did was clamp it (upon my request). In case I decide to remove it at some point and replace it with stock again or something else. Happy new year to you as well and maybe one day we cross paths on one of those highways. Cheers
Can I have the used one?
Hahaha just kidding, nice sound btw, damn
MUCH better
is there a way to bring back dsg farts in gti 7.5? stock does not have them
Yes. Get this muffler.
I'd give anything if someone in the US stocked the Akrapovic titanium muffler and exhaust from the Golf R Performance in Europe. But they're almost impossible to get...
I’m just going to do a Remus quad axle back and diffuser .
I tried this one as well but removed it due to severe droning (at highway speeds). But I do have an aftermarket downpipe, maybe combined with the stock DP it might be better..
Are there any issues installing the Clubsport S muffler on a MK7.5?
Here the GTI TCR stainless exhaust is that what you need. It's the same as the clubsport s exhaust but the tips are wider in place.
@@gtiak274 Oh nice. I didn't realize they were the same. Thanks!
Did this car have the factory resonator?
Sean O'Flaherty yes it does.
Why not replace the rubbers and use paste for the clamp to prevent leakage.
In principle you are right, but when you use a new stock VW clamp, it does not leak as both ends are the same diameter. What was not mentioned is that the rubbers for the CCS are different from the stocks ones. But I guess very few people will be interested in such details..
Any performance benefits? Or just sound?
Only Sounds
Thanks for ur video dude! i just bought a 2018 7.5 GTI (performance pack 245hp). Should i look for TCR exhaust? or use this one from clubsport? Also what other upgrades would you recommend for a daily driver? i was thinking stage 1, exhaust and maybe intake?
thanks
TCR ;-)
the sound and the tips are so similar to the rear muffler of the mk 7.5 GTI PP ... can they be near the same?
The tips are the same. The muffler is not. This is a decent Bit louder than the stock mk7.5 muffler even though the video doesn’t make it seem like it.
@@andrewholmes541 The distance between the tips is different, so CCS muffler will not fit the Mk7.5.
GTI_CHHA correct. But the TCR muffler will.
@@GTI_CHHA Maybe you know will TCR exhaust from 7.5 gti fit 7 gti?
@@kycpul No, TCR will only fit a 7.5, Clubsport (S) will fit a 7.0

This doesn’t fit the 7.5 even though it shows as compatible. You could fit it but with some modifications the tips are further apart by an inch or so on the 7.5

is the clubsport different to the clubsport s muffler?
55mm vs 65mm, so CS muffler does not fit to a Mk7 PP, unless you want to use a nasty adaptor, which will never really seal..

Get yourselves a Clubsport Akrapovic cat-back and show us! Then start trickling them out to the rest of the US!
Whoops! I forgot it's the GTI TCR Akrapovic exhaust, not Clubsport.
Pretty good but imo if I already drop $450 for this muffler I rather just add little to get a catback

Vertical letterbox video is quite annoying.
Not so good
A stupid question: I am simply a consumer who can not tell an engine from a spark plug, but who wants his Mk7 GTI to sound better. What do I do to get this done? Do I show this video to my mechanic? Do I buy this part somewhere and then bring it to my mechanic? I have literally zero clue how this is done. All I can do is order a part and/or bring the car to a mechanic. Signed: a dumb consumer.
Email a couple shops in your area and request a quote for installing this exact part.
Why would you waste your time and not just delete that muffler, literally same exact thing
Vertical video = 👎
Congratulations you just paid a ridiculous amount of money for the same exact sounding muffler
Ralph Roman it doesn’t sound the same at all. Search around RUclips for longer videos. You’ll notice. Also, I didn’t buy from ShopDAP. They just did the install
Will this fit a mk7 golf 1.8 ?
