The 034 Motorsport Stainless Steel Racing Downpipe is a performance upgrade for the Volkswagen Golf R MK8 and Audi 8Y S3 with the EA888 Gen 4 2.0T-engine. This downpipe system replaces factory parts, including the restrictive catalytic converter, for more power and torque, less turbo lag, and a more aggressive exhaust sound.
The downpipe has been developed using CAD software and 3D scanning technology for a seamless fit and is made of high-quality 304 stainless steel, TIG-welded and featuring a sandblasted titanium-look finish. OE-style heat shields prevent excessive heat from entering the engine compartment. The system features an integrated Euro 4 300-cell racing catalytic converter, an OEM-style flexible bellows, and a V-band flange for easy installation, as a direct replacement for AWD models.
