{"product_id":"awe-tuning-mk5-gti-cat-back-exhaust","title":"AWE Tuning Mk5 GTI Cat Back Exhaust","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur exhausts have earned praise from owners and the press alike, due to their unique \"Jekyll and Hyde\" personality. We spend considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and crusing at part throttle, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGTI owners also see our R32 Style exhaust system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe spent considerable time examining how to maximize the performance and options of this exhaust system. The factory exhaust consists of a long downpipe with two catalytic converters, and two rather large mufflers in the section after the cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\nHere are some features of our system. Each feature was chosen for performance and longevity reasons, and when making your exhaust decisions you should settle for nothing less: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eFully mandrel bent tubing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eThick .065\" wall T304 stainless steel tubing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eFully lined stainless steel flex joint in downpipe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eStainless steel internal muffler and resonator construction \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eStainless steel MIG and TIG welds \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eStainless steel T-bolt clamps \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eDouble walled exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eIncluded OEM turbo to downpipe gasket \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eIn house dyno developed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catback system is topped off with our signature 3.15\" beveled exhaust tips.

The system has multiple slip joints with high quality stainless band clamps, to allow optimal adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur catback systems will mate up to the stock downpipe, and our downpipe will mate to our catback or any other catback that is designed to mate up to the factory downpipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our MK5 exhaust? Our first prototypes of this system were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque with very little offsetting gain up top. Take a look at our 3.0 inch prototype dyno sheets here and see why a 3.0 inch system is not appropriate for this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that due to the use of high flow catalytic converters, our downpipe section is legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.awe-tuning.com\/media\/pdf\/installation_instructionsAWE_Mk5_GTIGLI20T_catbackexhaust.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urotuned.com\/photos\/awe_install.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awe-tuning.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95\/A\/W\/AWE_mk5_catback_800_1.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awe-tuning.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95\/A\/W\/AWE_mk2TT_tips_side_800_2.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awe-tuning.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95\/A\/W\/AWE_mk5_exhaust_640.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awe-tuning.com\/media\/products\/awe\/mk5_exhaust\/AWE_mk5exhaust_interiorsound.jpg\"\u003e","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41039776088226,"sku":"3015-32038","price":1452.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/3015-32038-2_4a191efa-624e-4272-b880-f98e1df970e9.jpg?v=1633746238","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/awe-tuning-mk5-gti-cat-back-exhaust","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
