{"product_id":"mk8-golf-r-dual-valved-cat-back-exhaust","title":"MK8 Golf R Dual-Valved Cat-Back Exhaust","description":"The ARM Motorsports MK8 Golf R Exhaust is a high-performance cat-back system engineered from T304 stainless steel for superior strength and durability. It features CNC mandrel-bent tubing and a 3.0\" diameter resonated midpipe designed to reduce harsh frequencies and minimize drone while enhancing sound. The dual-valved muffler assembly integrates seamlessly with the factory electronic exhaust valves, allowing for adjustable sound profiles – subtle for daily driving and aggressive for spirited performance.\n\nThis exhaust system is designed for optimal airflow, transitioning to quad 101mm rolled exhaust tips for balanced flow distribution and a refined appearance. The muffler utilizes a straight-through perforated core design, ensuring minimal restriction and consistent exhaust flow without sacrificing performance. It is chambered and insulated with fiberglass to produce a deep, aggressive tone with the valves open and a tame, stock-like sound with the valves closed. The internal insulation is durable and resistant to heat breakdown, effectively absorbing unwanted high-frequency noise while preserving deeper tones.\n\nInstallation is designed to be straightforward, with an estimated time of 2-3 hours for novice mechanics. While front bumper removal is required, it does not necessitate disassembling the crash bar, radiator stack, or draining coolant. The kit includes specific mounting brackets that attach to the frame without cutting or drilling into the crash bar. For a full turbo-back setup, the ARM MK8 4.5\" Downpipe can be added.\n\n**Important Fitment Note:** This exhaust system is NOT compatible with vehicles that have Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) mounted in the lower bumper. It WILL fit vehicles where ACC is mounted into the VW emblem. The system is designed for the Volkswagen Golf VIII GTI and Golf VIII R models equipped with the 2.0T Gen4 engine.","brand":"ARM Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52867131474232,"sku":"MK8RCBE","price":597.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687419582.webp?v=1787910313","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/mk8-golf-r-dual-valved-cat-back-exhaust","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
