MK7R Exhaust Valve Controller – VW MK7/MK7.5 Golf R 2.0L EXVALVE by ASR Unleash True Sound Control for Your Golf R Although the VW MK7 and MK7.5 Golf R deliver exceptional performance, their factory exhaust systems restrict driver control over the valves. Because of preset ECU logic, you’re often forced into using quiet or inconsistent sound levels. Thankfully, the MK7R Exhaust Valve Controller by EXVALVE (ASR) gives you full command — allowing you to override factory programming and take charge of your exhaust sound. Whether you're aiming for stealth or seeking a throaty, aggressive tone, this controller makes switching modes as easy as pressing a button. Designed for VW Golf R MK7 / MK7.5 (2.0L EA888 Gen 3) This controller is tailor-made for the 2014–2019 VW Golf R platform. It connects directly to your factory exhaust valve motors using OEM-style harnesses, avoiding the need for coding or wire cutting. Fitment Includes: VW Golf R MK7 (2014–2017) VW Golf R MK7.5 (2018–2019) 2.0L EA888 Gen 3 engines Stock or aftermarket exhausts with active valves (e.g., Milltek, Remus) Because it integrates cleanly with your OEM valve system, installation is seamless and 100% reversible. Switch Between Modes Instantly – On Your Terms EXVALVE gives you three distinct valve modes, accessible via the included remote control: Open Mode: Valves remain fully open, delivering max sound at all RPMs Close Mode: Valves stay shut for reduced noise during startups or daily use Auto Mode: Returns valve control to the factory ECU (for normal operation) Therefore, whether you’re heading to work, meeting friends at a car event, or tearing down your favorite backroad, you can tailor your exhaust tone in seconds.

Discreet Remote Operation – Works Inside or Outside the Vehicle The system includes a sleek, pre-programmed remote fob that operates the valve modes.
