What Akrapovič really offers for the Golf 7 GTI, its price, and what changes with a Rog system made from your GTI's VIN.

The Golf 7 GTI Akrapovič: a Slip-On Race.

As of 6 November 2026, Akrapovič's catalogue offers a titanium Slip-On Race Line for the Golf 7 GTI: one reference for the 2013 to 2016 GTI, another for the 2017 to 2019 Golf 7.5 GTI. A Slip-On replaces the rear part of the system and ends in two carbon tips; the original mid-pipe stays in place.

The Rog system, for its part, replaces everything after the downpipe, mid-pipe included, and adds the valves.

The price of the Akrapovič on the Golf 7 GTI.

Akrapovič publishes no prices on its official website. At its official dealer in France, the Golf 7 GTI titanium Slip-On Race is listed from around €2,300 (retail price checked in November 2026, depending on the version, subject to promotions).

At Rog, the price is shown on the product page: from €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium for the complete valved cat-back, with free delivery.

The EA888 sound: your choice.

The Golf 7.5 GTI gets the 245 hp, 370 Nm 2.0 TSI EA888 from the GTI Performance. Its original system stays tame. The Rog system lets you choose:

  • the character, at the same price: straight pipe for the raw sound of the 2.0 TSI, or resonator for a rounder, slightly softer voice;
  • the material: 304 stainless steel, or titanium about 40% lighter for the same design (+ €500), in a brushed, gold or purple finish;

  • the control, at the same price: your original valves, refitted on the system and still controlled by the drive modes, or Rog valves already fitted, with their remote;
  • the front section, as an option: 200-cell or 100-cell catalysed downpipe (+ €780), or decat (+ €500).

Valves open, the GTI finds a full voice, real presence under load and crackles on lift-off. Valves closed, it goes back to being the discreet everyday hatchback, without drone. The system ends in four round tailpipes and fits without welding, with clamps and gaskets, in about two hours at the garage of your choice.

Which one for your GTI.

If you want a complete system, valves and the choice of character, material and front section, the Rog system is made for that: from €2,490, remote included, with free delivery and a 3-year warranty. It is made in 20 working days from your VIN, which confirms compatibility before manufacture.

Frequently asked questions.

How much is the Akrapovič exhaust on the Golf 7 GTI?
Akrapovič publishes no prices. At its official dealer in France, the Golf 7 GTI titanium Slip-On Race is listed from around €2,300 (November 2026). It replaces the rear part of the system. The complete valved Rog system is listed from €2,490.

What is the difference between a Slip-On and the Rog system?
A Slip-On replaces the rear part and keeps the original mid-pipe. The Rog system replaces everything after the downpipe and adds valves, controlled by the drive modes or by the Rog remote.

My Golf 7 GTI is pre-facelift: does the Rog system suit it?
The Rog cat-back is designed for the 2017 to 2019 Golf 7.5 GTI; the downpipe also covers the Golf 7. For an older GTI, send us the VIN: we check before manufacture.

Does the diffuser need changing?
Yes: the Rog system exits through four round tips and the original GTI has only two tailpipes. Plan for a suitable diffuser before fitting.

Does the GTI need a remap?
No, the cat-back alone does not touch the ECU. With the downpipe and a visit to an approved tuning centre, the published figures reach 330 hp and 460 Nm.

Does the Rog system drone on the motorway?
No. With the valves closed, the gases flow through the whole rear silencer and the cabin stays calm at a steady speed.
