- I recorded an example of what to expect from the AWE Tuning Cat Back Exhaust for the MK5 Rabbit and MK6 Golf 2.5 5 cylinder. Exterior shots as well as interior, and freeway drone.
I also have a RAI Motorsports downpipe with high flow cat.

This is the best exhaust sound demo video I've ever seen on YT period. Let alone for the vw 2.5 5-cylinder. All exhaust demos should be just like this one! I subbed because of it. Much appreciated and cheers from Houston, Texas! 😎👍
Im so happy you liked it! And thank you very much for the sub. I just thought of all the things i wished were in an exhaust review video, and did them 😄
@@PacificRacer same with me man
Love my WRX and Carven RPT exhaust....but this video provides a strong argument for purchasing a Golf/Rabbit 2.5 based on this sound track alone. Enjoyed every minute of this! Enjoy your car!
The sound is pretty orgasmic. I have my Rabbit listed for sale right now, and I for sure am going to miss the sound.
Pacific Racer Man I got the same car, too bad you’re selling it😢 hopefully she gets a nice owner👍
Wow that sounds great. Looking for an inline 5 car with a manual. Just found out the rabbits and jettas came with them. Thanks for sharing the vid!
Some volvos do also! And the mk6 golfs. I have never had an issue with mine. Great cars
Just got one two days ago. Really excited
@@vwrockol4328 Audi RS3 and TTRS as well... kinda expensive tho! :)
@@SSSnakePlisken really I know the whole gti vs gli thing is wicked different, but for the 2.5 L of this generation? Are they really that different? thanks - I was actually lookin' at some cheap jettas near me :)
Sad we never got the Rabbit in the Netherlands :( would have loved to have one!
Did you guys at least get the MK5 or MK6 Golf with the 2.5?
Funny how the Wookiesinthewoods in the woods excludes the 2.5L from they’re L’il club.
Do they? I have seen a few RS3s and turbo 2.5s at their events
Baby lambo!
Sounds eerily close to the sound of an m6 or early Gallardos
A lot of people call this engine a "baby v10" because of how close it sounds to the lamborghini v10. It is for sure one of my favorite sounding cars.
@@PacificRacer watch my videos ;)
@@E46325mod just did, and very nice sounds! 😉
Golf 2.5 is the 07k 5 cylinder engine. Same engine in the RS3 and TTRS. It is literally half a Gallardo engine. So yes you can swap parts between them.
nice vid!
Thank you!
Does it have bad droning on highways this is my daily driver and I plan on driving this everywhere. But also locally. Cross country and to the local beaches. I like loud
If you like loud, then you will like it. As for the drone, it only really drones bad around 60mph in 5th gear while cruising. Even then, its not to bad. Before i got my bigger downpipe, the drone was even less.
This car was my daily for about 3 or 4 years. The sound was very easy to live with. If you drive it light and accelerate smooth, the sound can be very reasonable. At medium to full throttle it can get pretty loud at the higher rpm range. And thats why i loved this exhaust so much. The sound is very easy to control.
I have gone on a few road trips with it, ranging from 3 hour drives to 6 hour drives with my wife in the car. 75mph roads are very reasonable sound wise, and i can still have a conversation with out raising my voice. Mountain passes however can be loud. But i mean, who is going to take a mountain pass slow with an exhaust that sounds this good.

hey man. I have a rabbit 5 speed with an AWE exhaust and I'm trying to make the pops and bangs louder. Would you say the down pipe does a good job with that or do you recommend a tune. I already get small ones here and their just want to make them louder and more noticeable.
A down pipe with no cat would be the best way to get more pops and bangs, a tune would help a lot also
Pacific Racer what tune would give u the best results for loud pops and bangs
@@chadxferguson7966 Check out Integrated Engineering. I got their Power Package that comes with tune (redline now at 7200 RPPM), air intake manifold, and cold air intake. I had that for a while and you can really hear the niceness, even without the upgraded exhaust. Then about 6 months later I put on the AWE exhaust, and nice pops and bangs galore, I think...
I freaking love my Rabbit but it's not stock anymore. I am thinking of getting a 2008 Jetta, or a MK6 Golf with the 5 cylinder, just to have around. And they are both cheap as chips. This might be because people like the turbo engine better coz you can mod it a bit easier?
Does this current setup pass emissions?
Passed washington state emissions with a highflow cat. We dont have emissions anymore though. Should pass california emissions also
where did you get the rear bumper? link if possible, im trying to search for this one because i wanna DIY it a bit and have 1 exhaust tip on the left and right.. everyone does the middle but idk it’s not convincing for me
Its a Votex bumper. They dont make them anymore. You use to be able to buy them at the VW dealer
I wonder what the gti one would sound like on a 2.5
Do it and find out
@@PacificRacer did it it’s great
Do you have a link to this exaust

I’m curious to know which exhaust System is better the MagnaFlow or AWE Tuning ? I have a mk6 2.5L
I have only heard two MagnaFlow systems. One on a mk5 Jetta and another on a mk6 Golf. Both did not have resonators and had pretty bad drone and a little raspy on the top end. I think if they would have had a resonator they would have been on the same level as the AWE system
Nice, are those wheels 18s with stock height?
17s stock height
Is the engine reliable? I live in germany and here they dont produce a golf or jetta with a 2.5L engine but i love the sound! I looked up and found around 20 golfs/jettas they are around 500 kilometres away most of them have a good price but are automatic and i want drive manual
I found a golf 6 with 150.000 kilometres can i buy it? Or should i wait for a car with less than 100.000 kilometres? I hope you can read my bad englisch xD
Your english is good, dont worry. The whole time i had it, it was very reliable. I bought it with 80,000km and when i sold it, it had 240,000km. I would look for one with less than 100,000km amd for sure find manual one as some of the automatics had issues. The 2.5 is my favourite sounding VW engine ❤
@@PacificRacer thanks for your help :D
@@ecktrix you are very welcome!
Did you install this your self or did you have it done ?
I did it myself. Its all slip fittings and uses the same hangers
I’m deciding between this and the eurojet cat back for my daily, which would you recommend for daily use ?
For daily use i would say the eurojet. My friend had the eurojet and it had less drone and was not as loud. But if you want it loud and dont mind a little drone, go with awe
@@PacificRacer would you say the eurojet still sounds good?
@@touchyuncle1245 yes i would. I think it costs a little less also. I like the looks of the awe exhaust tips a little more. But they both look good
Im in the same bought not sure what to do I’m a highschool kid I live loud but I also travel distance.
@@rawsondenna6329 I ended up with the awe, can’t say enough good things about it
Where did you get that bumper I’ve been looking all over for a replacement
Good luck finding one. Mine was OEM+ straight from VW/Votex with the front, rear, and side skirts when the car was new. I believe they stopped making them about 10 years ago. the best place to look now is ebay and junk yards. They are rare, but not super rare. last time I saw a rear votex bumper for sale, the guy wanted $500 for it
what engine is the mk5 rabbit?
2.5L 5 cylinder
Did mk5 with 2.5 engine come with 4motion spec? Cant finde any info if mk5’s did come with 4motion.
2.5 only came as front wheel drive. Some people have done 4motion swaps with MK5 R32 subframes though.
How many miles do you have on your car?
I think it had 138,000 when i sold it
Does it vibrate hard?
No vibrating at all
Any idea where I could buy a cat back for one of these today??
This is where i got mine. www.awe-tuning.com/awe-rabbitexh-5871
To “Enthused”; and New Beetle ‘06- 2010 😊
Sometimes i forget the new beetle came with a 2.5 as well
what year is your rabbit ?
2007

Every time I listen to this video, I miss this car more and more.
@@PacificRacer YOU SOLD IT? I have a 2011 2.5l golf with this exact the awe catback and it genuinely sounds like a gallardo before it shifts. It's so fun to drive even tho it's only 180 hp. I watched a video on UA-cam of an old gen gallardo before it shifted gears and it sounds so close to this part
@@faresd2570 Thats one of the reasons i went with the 2.5 over the GTI. The 5 cylinder sounds amazing!
But yeah, I sold it in February 2020 when I got my 280Z. The only VW I have now is my 2010 Jetta TDI.
@@PacificRacer I honestly couldn't agree more with how much better it sounds compared to a gti! It's so unfortunate that you sold yours, but hey atleast you got a 280😏😏😏 I would love to put more money into mine by getting mods but it's already 150km so it'll be a waste of money 🤧
@@faresd2570 I had 240,000km when I sold mine. little thing was pretty bullet proof. Just get the timing chain service and keep on modding haha
