Morning all,

What does a turbo back exhaust do differently to a sports exhaust system to warrant it being nearly twice the price?

Cheers,

MAT ED30:
Sports will just be a cat back system I would think and turbo back is all the exhaust with a sports cat

oldtomo:
Hi mate,

when you say cat back you mean...  :ashamed:

So the turbo back is literally everything? All the parts you could need? Is there any difference in performance?

Cheers  :smiley:

MAT ED30:
Cat back is as it says catalitic convertor back , so u get everything after the cat and the gains are bigger with a full exhaust

WhiteGTI:
A turbo back will consist of a sport downpipe (normally of a greater bore to the standard system), a sports catalytic convertor (less cells which allows for more air to pass through), and then also the cat-back system, which is basically some more metal piping, the backbox and the tailpipes.

Cat back will provide increased noise but little power increase / if any.

Turbo-back will sometimes provide slightyyyy more noise than a cat back, but performance gains will be apparent also!
