As VW enthusiasts, we can all agree that the 2.5L inline-5 engine is one of the best-sounding engines VW has ever produced. The stock exhaust system suffocates these glorious exhaust notes, resulting in a mundane driving experience. Our 3.0" system removes restrictions, unleashing the incredible exhaust note the 2.5L has to offer!
