Milltek Sport Cat-Back Exhaust - 2018-2019 Volkswagen Golf R Mk7.5

This Milltek Sport cat-back exhaust is built for the Mk7.5 Volkswagen Golf R, the car sold in the US as the 2018-2019 Golf R. A cat-back is the exhaust from behind the downpipe to the tailpipes. This one bolts to the factory mounting points and is made from T304L stainless steel. Milltek has built performance exhausts in England for more than 40 years.

How to Choose

There are three choices on this page.

1. Sound. Resonated is the quieter choice for daily driving; it keeps a center muffler. Non-Resonated is louder; it replaces that muffler with a straight pipe. Valved systems have exhaust valves at the rear, so they can stay quieter using the car's own control. There are two valved resonated systems, and the only difference is pipe size: 76mm (3.0 in) or 80mm (3.15 in). If you add a downpipe, it has to match that size.

2. Exhaust tip finish. This is only the look of the four tailpipes. GT-100 and Jet-100 are Milltek's 100 mm round tip styles; Jet Oval is the oval tip.

3. Add Downpipe, only if you also want to replace the factory downpipe (the pipe that comes off the turbo). If you are keeping the factory downpipe, leave this on No Downpipe. The 76mm systems use Milltek's 3 in downpipe, and the 80mm systems use the V2 80mm downpipe. Each add-on includes the pipe that joins it to this cat-back.

The first three add-ons are catted, which means they still have a catalytic converter inside. All three use a 200-cell catalyst, which is the density of the converter. Catted Race, 200-cell is Milltek's 200-cell race cat. Catted Sports, 200-cell is a 200-cell sports cat made by HJS, a catalyst manufacturer. Catted HJS, 200-cell is also a 200-cell HJS cat; Milltek does not list it as a race part, and it is offered with the 76mm systems only.

Catless is a different part. It has no catalytic converter, and it is not the same as Catted Race. The 76mm systems use AutoTalent part number SSXVW264, and the 80mm systems use SSXVW712, at AutoTalent's current prices, with no compare-at, because Milltek has not published a US retail for these parts. A Stage 2 ECU tune is required, and a catless downpipe can affect emissions compliance, so check your state's rules before using it on public roads. If you need a downpipe for a factory cat-back instead, use our Milltek Downpipe for the 2018-2019 Golf R.

On the valved systems, the exhaust valves work with the car's own control. If you want a remote to open and close them yourself, Milltek's plug-and-play valve remote is sold separately. It is only for the valved systems.

If you already have a Milltek part number, you can confirm it in the table below. If you do not, you can skip it. The part number also appears as the SKU after you pick your options.
