Proprietary DroneTrap Technology
IE’s DroneTrap resonator is engineered using precision-tuned ports to cancel out the exact sound frequencies that cause interior drone. This delivers a smooth, deep tone without the fatigue of prolonged cabin noise—perfect for both spirited driving and daily comfort.
Retains Drive Select Functionality
The built-in valve system integrates with your Golf R’s factory drive mode selector, enabling you to drive in quiet comfort mode or unleash a more aggressive exhaust tone in sport or race modes.
True Bolt-On Catback Solution
From the downpipe connection to the quad tips, the IE Catback replaces all factory components. The system bolts directly to either the stock downpipe or IE's performance downpipe for a complete upgrade.
Engineered for the MK7 Golf R
Advanced 3D scanning and CAD tools allow for a precise fit tailored to the MK7 MQB chassis and rear valence. This ensures perfect tip alignment, easy installation, and zero clearance issues.
