APR Catback Exhaust System for Tiguan (MK2) (AWD) | CBK0048

p>The APR Catback Exhaust System (CBK0048) is the ultimate sound and performance upgrade for the MK2 Volkswagen Tiguan (AWD). Engineered to replace the restrictive factory piping, this system features a massive 3" (76mm) mandrel-bent exhaust path constructed from premium T304 stainless steel. Unlike generic exhaust upgrades, this system is hand-crafted with TIG welding and includes a straight-through, brushed-finished muffler that delivers a deep, powerful growl without the unwanted rasp or cabin drone typically found in aftermarket systems.

Designed with a "stealth" approach, the system utilizes a hidden 3" exit that mimics the factory exhaust strategy, maintaining a clean look while providing significantly better flow. The low-profile design ensures plenty of ground clearance for lowered vehicles, while the rugged mounting brackets and OEM-style clamps ensure a precise, rattle-free fitment. This system not only sounds better but is also lighter and more durable than the mass-produced factory unit.

Key Features:

• Full 3" Diameter: Oversized mandrel-bent tubing provides an ultra-smooth path for exhaust gases, reducing backpressure.
• Premium Materials: Constructed entirely from T304 stainless steel with a brushed finish for superior corrosion resistance.
• Drone-Free Sound: Straight-through muffler design smooths the exhaust note into a deep growl while eliminating highway drone.
• Weight Reduction: Lighter than the factory exhaust system, improving overall vehicle dynamics.
• Hidden Exit Strategy: Maintains a tidy appearance under the rear bumper with a hidden 3" turn-down exit.
• Lowered-Friendly: Low-profile design ensures clearance for Tiguan owners running lowering springs or coilovers.
• Easy Installation: Direct bolt-on fitment with high-quality Torca AccuSeal clamps and rugged mounting hardware.

Technical Specifications:

Fitment Note: This system is designed specifically for the All-Wheel Drive (4Motion) version of the Long Wheel Base Tiguan. It does not fit Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models or the short wheelbase European Tiguan models.
