Description
Upgrade your VW Golf 8 (Type CD, 221–245 kW / 296–329 hp, 2020–2025) with the SST Exhaust Flap/Valve Control. This advanced plug-and-play control unit allows you to open or close the exhaust flaps at your discretion, giving you full control over exhaust sound and driving dynamics. The effect is especially pronounced when paired with a sports exhaust system, producing a sportier tone and enhanced performance.
Designed and manufactured in Germany, the SST control unit is compact (72 x 50 x 21 mm), dust-protected (IP50), and discreetly installed in the driver’s footwell on the left side. It controls two exhaust flaps, integrates seamlessly with vehicle electronics, and requires no modifications. The device does not draw quiescent current when switched off and does not interfere with onboard systems.
Pre-assembled, pre-programmed, and supplied with illustrated installation and operating instructions, the control unit ensures quick and easy setup. Optional professional installation is also available.
