Product Details
The iE Valved Catback for your 2022+ VW MK8 Golf R delivers a primal scream on demand. Kick exhaust drone to the curb with their proprietary DroneTrap technology while seamless integration of the exhaust valving gives you factory control to switch between “subtle” or “rowdy” modes. Deep rumbles at low revs and mighty roars at high RPMs are topped off with quad, 4” slash-cut tips for bonus style points. All from a simple bolt-on upgrade. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

DRONETRAP ADVANTAGE
iE's advanced DroneTrap technology takes away the buzz-killing drone leaving only the sweet song of your people. DroneTrap captures the pulse waves that make up the engine's exhaust note. Here, a mathematically tuned resonator draws these waves in and an internal port resonates the waves against each other. Annoying waves that cause drones are canceled. Only the good stuff remains—a full, rich audacious call of the wild.
4" QUAD SLASH-CUT TIPS
With quad oversized 4" exhaust tips, your Golf R will look fast even when it’s standing still. These slash-cut tips feature a motorsport-inspired brushed finish and adjustable depth to dial your aggressive looks up or down.
BUILT TO LAST
Sound may be the main feature of the Catback Exhaust, but durability and reliability play a big part, too. This Catback Exhaust is made from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel to resist corrosion with hand-TIG-welded joints, plus several structural details for added strength and integrity. The stamped, multi-wall muffler prevents warping. Reinforced hangers keep mountings secure. Strength-boosting bridged piping distributes weight and reduces stress and vibration. Wide-width stretch clamps keep connections tight and leak-free.
FACTORY SOUND CONTROL
Control your exhaust volume through the factory drive select controls from your MMI system. Select comfort to drive around your suburb like a civilized neighbor, or trigger Sport/Dynamic mode to release that boosted roar.
EXHAUST VALVES
A valved Catback Exhaust lets you choose the way you greet the world. Comfort/Normal mode keeps the valves closed so exhaust is routed through the center-mounted muffler for a more tame sound. Sport/Dynamic mode keeps the valves open to bypass the muffler through twin pipes for something gone feral.
ADVANCED R&D
i.e., employs 3D scanning and cutting-edge software to give them the edge with a high-resolution digital model of the VW MK8 chassis. This data allows engineers to maximize exhaust flow and optimize every inch of available space, ensuring a perfect fit with no rattles or rubbing.
INSTALLING WITH iE DOWNPIPE?
For those craving more, pairing this catback with the iE ProCore Downpipe takes volume to extreme levels—great for track use but overwhelming for most on the street. The optional Downpipe Resonator strikes the perfect balance, adding more sound than the catback alone while toning down the full turboback setup to a street-friendly level for everyday driving. Part Number: IEEXDB3-1
INSTALLATION
No permanent mods or hassle to deal with on this one. Installing your new iE Catback Exhaust kit is straightforward. You’ll need a few basic tools. An auto lift is not necessary, but will make your life a lot easier (well, your installation, anyway).
Average installation time: 1-2 hours
