Not a clue. Custom job is a possibility

Quiksilver- Sound architect

Simple things like moving the valve to the right so you effectively have straight by pass when valves are open

Pricey but amazing

Even so... take a look at them. Beautiful welds, tips and R&D

Opinions will vary, but I have always rated Milltek.

Definitely- for off the shelf bolt on systems there great so are cobra. But if you have a certain sound or gain you want. It’s better to go to a company that can tweak as they build.

All about what your after

I was told the Golf R Variant Mk7 or 7.5 has a valved exhaust and the Cupra R ST would have the same exhaust, but..... it has lost the valves. Don't know if there's an option to get that back?

The estate golf R doesn't have valves

The above hurricane exhaust is just under 2500 grand. Will be getting one in the new year for my r st.

Damn 2500 for an exhaust.

 

[Scotte]

Sod that! To loud as well, don't want to sound like a boy racer

Is it only the Golf R hatch that has the valves?

Yes that's correct

 

[Alorjosh]

Which doesn’t really matter as most high end systems come with blue tooth ODB and vacuum lines to open to valves

Well, I guess there's no use trying to bring valves to a non-valved exhaust system, without other modifications sound will be softer with valves closed (if that;s what you want) and staying the same (at best) with valves open.

But what wiil a bigger downpipe with 200 cells sport cat coupled to the original exhaust system (the 2 GPF's included) bring, both sound wise and performance wise?

Valved exhausts divert exhaust flow away from a minimally muffled/resonated/usually near straight piped path to a muffled path with valve closed (i.e larger rear back box with internal construction that isn’t straight piped through). If the back boxes are a different size/internal construction, you could still benefit from a valved exhaust, considering the exhaust sound for each is likely different. You can DIY a custom valved exhaust with remote control for far cheaper than buying one off the shelf with the same parts:

1. Helical (or similar) exhaust valve -> can buy individually from Milltek
2. Kuster electronic valve servomotor (from Ford, Audi, Porsche, VW or Volvo models on EBay)
3. AWE Switchpath remote

With the GPF, it apparently muffles more sound than the pre-GPF resonated systems.
