The Borla 3 inch into dual 2.25 inch cat-back system for the Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0L pairs the classic S-Type muffler with Polyphonic Harmonizer technology, which uses patented units with pipes of different diameters and lengths to create multiple exhaust notes that harmonize into a clean, rich, full-bodied sound with no interior drone. It includes a 3.0 in OD x 2.5 in OD x 5.5 in adapter for a bolt-on connection to the stock system. The exhaust exits through single 4 in round bright chrome on T-304 stainless steel tips on each tailpipe. Patented straight-through, multi-core technology, ultra-smooth mandrel bends, and CNC-precise T-304 stainless steel construction deliver maximum flow, durability, and the Borla Sound of Power. Because it installs behind the factory catalytic converters, this cat-back system is 50-state emissions legal. Like all Borla exhaust, the system is handmade in the USA and backed by the Borla Million-Mile Warranty.
