Clear optics. Uncompromising size.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GRAIL 3.5\" valved exhaust system, compatible with the VW Golf 8 R (engine code DNFG), delivers a noticeable presence in any situation. Legal, high-quality, and fully integrated – perfect for discerning performance drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Golf R already packs a punch straight from the factory – but VW deliberately holds back the sound. With its 3.5-inch diameter, the GRAIL exhaust system bypasses the factory sound dampening and delivers what the 2.0 TSI is truly capable of: a turbocharged, powerful four-cylinder sound with an unmistakable backfire character in Sport mode. In cruising mode, the system remains discreet – the signature GRAIL delta between loud and quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Germany, L304 stainless steel, ECE type-approved.
