    I've got a controller coming for the valves and I'll get a tune in a couple of weeks so will live with it for a while to see if I can define my dislike.
    That’s why you can get used golf r mufflers, the golf r boys don’t like it either.

    Having carried both the Tiguan and Golf R muffler they're definitely a heavy weight. The Golf R is heavier, probably around 14-16kg, the Tiguan around 10-12kg.
    At a guess.

    Remember that the Golf R has the resonator in the rear section whereas the Tiguan has it in the front. So there's a second smaller muffler on the Golf R catback.

    If you want to go light then a titanium exhaust is your answer.

    You mean light as in wallet?

    Yes though there's probably a few other places to reduce weight first before looking at a titanium exhaust.

    I think they may have titanium tips. I don't think the whole thing is titanium but don't quote me on it.

    I'm not sure on the VW models, but I imagine the Tig R one is Ti based on it retailing at something like 4,000 euros.
    No chance. Tig one is made out of a low grade stainless steel so it doesn't rust but definitely not Ti. These are built to a price and nobody is going to want to pay for an expensive exhaust system on a family SUV. You really only see that sort of thing in higher end exotics.

    A member posted this today on the golf R group, of their 2 year old akra from the SE pack. This one is Titanium.
    Yes the Golf R Special Edition has the full Akrapovic exhaust and it's an expensive ($5,500) option. It's 7kg lighter than the stock exhaust system too. I think you can special order it from VW but you're looking at ~$6,700.
