It replaces everything from the factory catalytic converter rearward with wider-bore pipework, a re-profiled mid-pipe and silencers tuned specifically for this platform, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The factory catalytic converter stays in place, so the car's emissions hardware is left as standard. It's offered in non-resonated or road+ part resonated versions, valved or non-valved versions and 6 tailpipe finishes, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's aimed at owners who want a noticeably different sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement without touching anything upstream of the cat: a straightforward bolt-on that doesn't need a remap or any other supporting mods to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cat-back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80mm (3.15\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEC Approved:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRace System:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 1.5 to 2 hours (Milltek figure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMandrel-bent pipework keeps a constant diameter through every bend for unrestricted flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80mm (3.15\") pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces the standard exhaust from the catalytic converter back, so the factory cat is retained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoice of 6 tailpipe finishes: GT-115 Brushed Titanium, GT-115 Burnt Titanium, JET-115 Carbon Fibre, GT-115 Cerakote Black, GT-115 Polished, GT-115 Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValved versions available for switchable volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonated (quieter) or non-resonated (louder) versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned, developed and manufactured in the UK by Milltek Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk8 R 2.0 TSI 320PS (GPF Equipped Models Only) (2021-2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk8 R 2.0 TSI 320PS (Non-GPF\/North American Models Only ) (2022-2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk8.5 R (333ps Non-GPF\/North American Models Only) (2025 onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk8.5 R (333ps OPF\/GPF Equipped Models Only) (2024 onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTi (Golf R Style Quad Outlet - 245ps OPF\/GPF Equipped Models Only), which needs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/milltek-filter-back-exhaust-volkswagen-golf-mk8-gti-golf-r-style-quad-outlet-245ps-opf-gpf-20-24\"\u003eMilltek Filter-back Exhaust Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTi Golf R Style Quad Outlet 245ps OPF\/GPF 20-24\u003c\/a\u003e; the Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTi (245ps Non-GPF\/North American Models Only), which needs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/milltek-filter-back-exhaust-volkswagen-golf-mk8-gti-245ps-opf-gpf-20-24\"\u003eMilltek Filter-back Exhaust Volkswagen Golf Mk8 GTi 245ps OPF\/GPF 20-24\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilltek quotes a fitting time of approx. 1.5 to 2 hours.
