Video: 2021 VW Golf R sounds menacing with Akrapovic exhaust

The eighth-gen Volkswagen Golf hasn’t even started shipping yet, but Slovenian vendor Akrapovic is already offering an aftermarket exhaust system for it. Care to hear what it sounds like?

The four-minute long video gives you a good idea what the sporty upgrade is capable of. The soundtrack is outstanding, the tailpipes with inner perforation are elegant, and the titanium alloy construction helps shave a dozen or two kilos off the curb weight.

If you are wondering how Akrapovic managed to design the exhaust so soon, wonder no more: the company has a long history of cooperation with Volkswagen and distributes its products through authorized dealerships. The real thing to ask yourself is whether the package is worth its €3,700 asking price – you could as well buy two Milltek or Supersprint exhausts for that kind of money.
