MK7 GTI XForce Turbo-back Exhaust w/ Varex Muffler - PURE SOUND

I haven’t seen many videos about this system for the MK7 GTI’s, so here’s one with the sound clips I would want to hear.

XForce turbo-back exhaust for my 2017 MK7 GTI
- 3” high-flow downpipe paired with 3” cat-back with Varex muffler
(the cat-back comes with a straight pipe and a resonator. I have the straight pipe installed for the extra sound. Yes it drones)

Owner notes & explanations:

The closed position isn’t meant to be driven at high rpms under load. That’s why you’ll hear that “airy” noise from the exhaust. It’s so quiet during regular driving though, it sounds quieter than stock in the cabin and not much louder from the outside. The 50% position sounds similar to the open position. The only difference is that it doesn’t drone on the highway or during regular driving. Full open has a deep, raspy tone and you can hear the turbo noises pretty well too.
—
This system that I have is the older one with the remote control (hold A for open & hold B for close). You could totally press either button multiple times to cycle through the valve positions for different volume levels (25% - 75%) but it’s hard to tell which position it’s in. The newer, updated version includes the bluetooth smartbox that let’s you control the exhaust from your phone. I think it comes with the remotes too, which is nice.

Mods:

- XForce downpipe
- XForce cat-back

subbed, exactly what I was looking for prior to going stage 2 this spring.

I had one on my MK6, the Mk7 sounds even better. Xforce is def underated a reputable brand.

[bryanmestanza]

This is beautiful. Love this setup. Much love 👍🏼

[NBennetts]

fantastic video bro!! I'm looking to replace my stock exhaust and wasn't sure which brand to go with.. but this video has sold me on the XForce! You should be getting a cut $$$ as XForce just made another sale because of this video!!

When exhaust are close is look live a tiger🔥💸

[marlanefitz]

Sounds great! Hypothetically, would you say it’s quiet enough to DD valves closed with let’s say your non car enthusiast mother-in-law everyday?.. I need something valved thats loud and quiet (enough), this sounds exactly what I’m looking for. (Update: Got the exhaust installed with a CTS catted downpipe, it is PERFECT!)

[romandesousa]

Does it pop and burble that much with the exhaust or do you have a tune for it?

[nathanelliott]

How do you like the IE stage 2? Is it a big difference from stock? Nice exhaust by the way!

[tredfxman]

I wonder how LAPD likes ur now registration sign 😄

[complexsetup]

Is this welded or just clamps? Sounds great!

[robbysahadeo]

where did you buy your Oettinger style carbon fiber spoiler

[b.soupra]

if you don’t mind me asking, how much did it run you to have the valved system installed, assuming you had it done by a shop?

[dostilly]

what downpipe are you running with the catback? 
it sounds great. i am currently running a stage 2 unitronic turbo back but i love the option of being able to open and close the valve. Thanks so much!

[MMSstation]

Nice work, what kind of diffuser is that ?

[evancorey]

Hey I love that ! Would you mind giving me a link to this system?

[entityduoa]

Just wondering where you got the xforce exhaust

[cristianocupra]

tell me friend, you have a straight pipe installed but if de valve is closed, and you drive slowly, you have resonation ?

[ckobza]

Just a single muffler before the exhaust splits or 2 after the exhaust splits?

[sebpuchala]

where did you buy the IE tune, and the pops and bangs tune?
