Turbo back exhaust

That Guy · 12-09-2009, 12:10 AM

Ok, its been pretty easy to track down intakes and BOVs and even turbo kits, basically because its all the same as the GTI and Jetta 2.0T, but I'm having trouble in the exhaust department, lol. No one seems to have any out yet. Anyone know of any good ones, other than the Remus one mentioned? From what I understand I can just order one for a GTI and shave the tips a little and it will fit. Can anyone confirm?

I suggest you get to know your local VW dealer's spare parts salesperson and get them to look up the part numbers for the Eos exhaust system and cross check them with the equivalent parts for the Golf, Jetta and Passat. I suspect you will find the exhaust system has common parts with all of these vehicles.

The Eos body shell is not the same as a Golf and it is my understanding it is a hybrid platform using Jetta and Passat components.

Yeah, I'm tracking they are pretty similar and I can get an exhaust made for another car and jus mod it a lil and it will work, but, unfortunately my dealership is clueless as far as performance parts and such. I'm jus curious if there are any other companies making Eos specific turbo backs, or even jus cat backs

Downpipe wise, use the AWE 2.5", its one of the best $ can buy. I had my 400 ceramic cat convertor changed to a sports 100 cell for better flow tho.

Catback wise, u can opt for MK 5 Golf GTI ones, but the tip(s) is shorter and prob u gotta extend it, thats the difference. For me, I operate the big reasonator to flow straight thru to my Remus quad muffler.

I have another set of catback thats a straight thru Milltek mid pipe with a modified quad muffler, that sounds like a mini Lambo when WOT but its not to my daily driving taste, too loud

That Guy · 12-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Lol, very nice, yeah its gonna be my daily driver, just with a few extra ponies, lol, so cant be too loud. Good lookin out on the GTI thing though, I had it backwards, I had heard you had to shave the GTI tips for the Eos, which didnt make sense cuz the GTI looks shorter, but, I didnt know. Thanx. How difficult is it to extend the tips?

depends on how u wan it, locally we flame cut the tips off and weld / bolt on a new set from an array of choices. i guess the local scene's damn hot on Quad pipes so most of us r on it, the stealth ones will choose to remain twin tips tho, thats the usual cos most will wanna swap the downpipe, but that aint legal and will not be approved regardless of brands like Milltek, AWE, Arquay etc and not even MTM

Just a downpipe change will see extra 10+ ponies going strong, the feel's almost too good for that price u pay for, its REALLY WORTH IT. I upgraded the hpfp for a stronger torque tho, mapped with Unitronic Stage 2+

Anything before the resonator is pretty standard; anything thing that's suitable for GTI suits EOS too. There isn't any catback for EOS, only muffler. From picture most GTI catback system looks pretty similar for EOS application, problem is the resonator position doesn't fit due to the additional reinforcement bar that required the resonator to be fitted higher.

If you don't mind cut and weld, you will need the workshop to do major mod on the resonator (must do as the stock resonator is very restrictive) and also extend the rear exhaust tip. Do a bolt on type for the exhaust tip, you might like to change the tip in the future, I have both twin and single oval tip (change when I am bored haha).
