With the R52 there is an extra brace in the centre that the R53 didn’t have, this will need to be removed and refitted during the installation. If you position the clamp that sits on the pipe above this brace badly then the clamp will hit the brace so when fitting bear this in mind and ensure that you position the clamp for maximum clearance to the brace and the exhaust will fit without issues.

I want my TT to have a louder engine sound. NOT CRAZY LOUD though...not interested in straight pipes and poppin' at all. The early R53 pre-facelift had a slightly different hanger setup at the rear near the battery box and if you have one of these cars you might need to shorten the centre pipe slightly to get everything to line up. As with all car modification a little fettling to get it to fit is often part of the fun. Made by Malian Exhausts from high quality stainless steel and complete with a full fitting kit this exhaust is really easy to fit and will last for many years to come. All welds are done using TIG for ultimate quality and looks. As I said, it's gonna be a little upgrade to treat my ears when I'm driving around. Not really interested in any performance increase. If it comes along with the good deep sound...that's a plus...but not the reason for changing it.
