When VW developed the MK7 Jetta, they produced a capable sedan platform with tons of potential. What it offered in styling and luxury, it certainly lacks in aggressive exterior styling. That's where the brand-new ECS Trunk Spoiler helps. The motorsport-inspired ducktail spoiler conforms to the contours of your MK7 Jetta precisely and mimics the factory styling while it improves the profile and portrait dramatically with unmatched gloss black flair.

All too often OEM components sacrifice performance in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers. In the case of the factory turbocharger, a turbo muffler is positioned at the compressor outlet and is designed to reduce engine bay acoustics. With our Turbo Muffler Delete Pipe Kit, the factory turbo muffler is removed and replaced with our straight-through delete pipe. This increases flow and turbocharger acoustics by creating a smooth transition between the turbo outlet and intercooler pipe inlet. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for smooth flow and lasting durability.

Functional or not, exterior upgrades help further set your VW apart as one unique to you.

Your MK7 Jetta is a perfect example of a do-it-all car. With a blend of sport and comfort capabilities, a full-sized sedan frame, and those good good turbo noises, the MK7 Jetta checks all the boxes.

Last year, we sent VW Brand Ambassador Jamie Orr on a trip all across the country in a pre-production MK5 Sportwagen we affectionately called the Rallywagen where it ended in the Arctic Circle.

Rallywagen 2.0 was fully constructed in-house by our team of engineers.

Simple improvements to the front of the brand new MK7 Jetta take it from a mild commuter car to an aggressive and striking statement in modern European tuning.
