MagnaFlow's BRExhaust direct-fit kit, part 106-0791, is a bolt-on replacement exhaust for the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta. It features durable Aluminized Steel construction and is covered by a 2 year warranty. The rear end uses 2 tips, 3in diameter, stainless steel finish, so the tailpipe looks finished without any custom fabrication.
Why choose this over a budget replacement? MagnaFlow says its precision mandrel bent pipes facilitate superior exhaust flow compared to the crush-bent pipes commonly used in competing aftermarket replacement exhaust systems. The kit's bolt-on, adjustable multi-piece design lets the installer route around axles, crossbars, and brackets. It also carries a two year, unlimited mileage warranty, which matters if you plan to keep the car past the factory exhaust's service life. Searches for a Jetta 2.0L direct-fit replacement exhaust, a 1.8L Jetta aluminized steel exhaust, or a no-weld bolt-on Jetta exhaust tend to lead to this kit.
The manufacturer states this kit is designed to fit the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L & 2014-2018 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8L. Confirm your year, trim, and factory exhaust layout against the manufacturer's listing before ordering. The DIY path is practical: no bending or welding is required for installation. The box holds the hardware, and gaskets and clamps are included, but the spring bolt kit is not supplied.
No. The manufacturer states that no bending or welding is required for installation, and the multi-piece design is meant to fit around obstructions without fabrication.
The manufacturer says the kit may require basic automotive knowledge and that professional installation is always recommended.
According to the manufacturer, all components, gaskets, clamps, and hardware required for installation are packaged together with the installation instructions. The spring bolt kit is not included.
The manufacturer describes this as a bolt-on installation with no welding, so the job comes down to removing the factory system and fitting the new pieces with the supplied clamps and gaskets. Plan on safely supporting the car on jack stands, and soak the factory fasteners in penetrating lubricant before you start, since rusted clamps and hangers are the most common delay. Because the spring bolt kit is not included, check whether your installation needs spring bolts before you begin. Because the manufacturer recommends professional installation, DIY installers should plan on a careful fit check and make sure every connection is aligned and sealed before final tightening.
