MK5 / MK6 VW Sport Exhaust Toggle Button
Double Apex Sport Exhaust Toggle Kit
The Double Apex Sport Exhaust Toggle Kit is the ultimate OEM+ solution for controlling your VW's soundtrack. Whether you’re opening up a bypass valve or toggling an active muffler system, this kit provides a factory-integrated look that feels like it was installed on the assembly line.
Factory Integration
The button lighting, feel, and finish are meticulously designed to match your Volkswagen’s interior. This kit offers the high-performance functionality of a toggle switch with the refined style of an OEM+ push button, eliminating the need for awkward aftermarket switches or remote fobs.
Intuitive Feedback
The dual-LED setup ensures you always know which mode you’re in:
- Red LED: Matches your factory dash illumination and glows when your interior lights are on.
- Amber LED: Acts as your "Sport Mode" status indicator. It can be wired to illuminate when the exhaust is "Loud" or "Quiet," depending on your preference.
Professional Control
The kit features the Double Apex momentary push button paired with our proprietary 10-amp latching relay module. This allows you to toggle a power, ground, or signal wire to control your exhaust valves with a single press. It’s a robust, reliable solution for a modification that demands frequent use.
Technical Details:
- Complete Kit: Includes the momentary button and the latching relay module.

How It Works:
A typical factory momentary button is only ON while it is held down and can only handle a small amount of electrical current. A stock button sends a pulse signal to an ECU that controls something like traction control or seat heaters. To control an aftermarket system using an OEM-style button, a specialized relay is required to convert the momentary 'pulse' into a constant ON / OFF signal. The Double Apex module handles this conversion seamlessly. It is rated for 10 amps and is designed for the harsh temperatures and voltage spikes found in an automotive environment.
For Exhaust Systems & Cutouts: This kit is compatible with most solenoid-controlled, vacuum-operated exhaust valves. It is not compatible with most electric motor-driven valves, as these require a specialized control circuit and switch to prevent motor damage.
The Compatibility Test: If your exhaust valve can be operated with a standard two-position ON / OFF toggle switch, this kit will work. However, if your system requires a three-position switch (e.g., Open/Close/Auto) or a specialized remote control, it is likely not compatible.
