This downpipe is a popular upgrade for the 1.8T and 2.0T TFSI engines within the VAG group and offers an immediate improvement in exhaust flow, turbo spooling, and sound. The design features a 3-inch (76 mm) stainless steel construction with a V-band connection and an OEM-compatible mounting on the stock turbo. Removing the restrictive catalytic converter creates a freer exhaust flow, ideal for performance upgrades or tuning.
The downpipe comes as a two-piece set, made entirely of stainless steel and equipped with lambda connections. Thanks to the OEM fit and V-band connection, installation is simple and secure, requiring no welding. The perfect choice for those looking for maximum flow from their 1.8T or 2.0T TFSI engine.
