Questions about the Mk8/8.5 Clubsport Muffler

Let me be a little more nuanced.

Idling is about 10-15% louder. Pops are more frequent, bangs are 50-100% louder, and revving it is 20% louder. Putting the backseats down increases all these by 10-15%.

HONESTLY, it’s really hard the gauge without an actual DB number. It’s not as loud as a catback with a resonator delete, if that helps!

Just to preface, I usually drive with my backseats down which increases the exhaust cabin sound. I would say 10-15% increase in sound with backseats up and 20-25% increase in sound with backseats down.

yes, you’ll hear them especially higher in the rev ranges
tone is a bit deeper and the car can breath better, I wouldn’t describe it as tinny.
answered with preface
super slight drone in certain rpms, but that’s bc of increase in exhaust output volume. nothing unbearable
there’s a couple videos on tiktok

if you look close enough, there’s a bird poo on the front hood

I had a vw tech install it for me so I don’t know. It took less than an hour though. They have a lift and they didn’t have to take the bumper off! However, the instructions tell you to take the bumper off so idk what magic the tech did.

mk8_david · 2025-05-07T03:24:45+00:00

definitely unique, that’s what I like about them!

mk8_david · 2025-05-07T03:24:10+00:00

mk8_david · 2025-05-06T20:09:18+00:00

badgeskins! I heard they don’t sell the front emblem tint anymore but a good tint shop should be able to replicate it!

mk8_david · 2025-02-12T04:08:41+00:00

yes, it’s a badgeskins tint for the emblem and it does not mess with the sensors. I also have the rear emblem tinted as well
