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 resonated versions and 2 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 70mm (2.76\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twin 80mm GT80\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 to 1.5 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\u003e70mm (2.76\") 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 2 tailpipe finishes: GT-80 Cerakote Black, GT-80 Polished\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\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Polo GTI 1.8 TSI 192PS (3 \u0026amp; 5 door) (2015-2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Volkswagen Polo GTI 2.0 TSI (AW - 5 Door) - Non GPF\/OPF Models Only, which needs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/milltek-cat-back-exhaust-volkswagen-polo-gti-2-0-tsi-aw-5dr-non-gpf-opf-18-19\"\u003eMilltek Cat-back Exhaust Volkswagen Polo GTI 2.0 TSI AW 5dr Non GPF\/OPF 18-19\u003c\/a\u003e; the Volkswagen Polo GTI 2.0 TSI (AW 5 Door PRE Facelift Models only) - GPF\/OPF Models Only, which needs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/milltek-cat-back-exhaust-volkswagen-polo-gti-2-0-tsi-aw-5dr-pre-facelift-gpf-opf-19-21\"\u003eMilltek Cat-back Exhaust Volkswagen Polo GTI 2.0 TSI AW 5dr Pre Facelift GPF\/OPF 19-21\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilltek quotes a fitting time of approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
