Cobra Sport performance
exhausts enhance the sound, looks and quality of your vehicle giving you the
ultimate driving experience. Our sports exhausts range is fully guaranteed to
give you assurance of our quality.
This VW Golf R Mk7 /
Mk7.5 performance exhaust is made in 3"/76.2mm pipework and fit from the
catalytic converter section backwards (Cat-back), these parts replace the
centre and rear sections.
This non-resonated
exhaust makes the system louder as it excludes the centre silencer and therefore,
has a sportier exhaust note. This exhaust however, is also available as a
resonated version (including centre silencer) which is a quieter option.
All relevant fittings
and gaskets are supplied.
Please Note - This
performance exhaust retains the use of exhaust valves. When switching drive
modes (e.g. Eco to Race mode) your exhaust tone will continue to swop from
quieter to louder tones as before.

non-valved resonated version.
COBRA SPORT REVIEW
Matt Thomas, Sales
Manager at Cobra Sport says “We have now collated the performance results for
the Golf R Mk7 / Mk7.5 exhaust system. Having tested the resonated cat back
exhaust system on the rolling road we saw an impressive 7.4bhp increase. Having
driven both the resonated & non-resonated on a daily basis, I personally
preferred the resonated version as it keeps sound levels slightly lower when
cruising. That being said, the Non Resonated variant would be perfectly easy to
live with daily."
The addition of a GPF
Filter in later Mk7.5 models allows the Golf R to conform to the latest
European Emissions Standards but as a trade off, it dilutes the vehicle's aural
qualities, making for a performance car that doesn't quite have the bark to
match it's bite. Cobra Sport have developed a solution for this in the form of
their new GPF-Back Performance Exhaust System. Precision TIG-welded from T304
stainless steel, this new system is available with or without integrated
valves. The valves are specially developed to integrate with the factory
Driving Modes and open or close depending on the mode selected, so you can keep
sound levels to a minimum or unleash the engine's full potential, depending on
your mood. Regardless of what mode is selected, unwanted drone is thoroughly
eliminated. In addition to this, vehicles fitted with the optional DSG gearbox
will emit an enhanced sporty tone on upshifts. The GPF-Back system, as the name
suggests, retains the factory Gasoline Particulate Filter, but still manages to
effectively enhance the exhaust note of the vehicle's EA888 2.0 TSI engine.
Independent rolling road
testing of the Golf MK7 resonated turbo back system with sports cat front pipe
and aftermarket air intake revealed a +40.76bhp (30.4KW) power increase
measured at all 4 wheels with the Golf R putting an impressive 270.61bhp
(201.8KW) through the rollers. This testing was undertaken by a dealer in
Australia in temperatures of 29.3 degrees celsius and an air density of 93.6%.
A substantial weight
saving can also be achieved with the 3” turbo back system providing a whopping
35% decrease in weight from the Original Equipment version. The styling of the
system is finished off with either quad 5” x 3” oval slash-cut tailpipes in
stainless steel finish or the upgraded ceramic coated versions.
