{"product_id":"3-5-inch-stainless-steel-downpipe","title":"3.5-Inch Stainless Steel Downpipe","description":"The CTS Turbo 3.5-inch Stainless Steel Downpipe is engineered to enhance exhaust flow and unlock additional horsepower in front-wheel-drive MQB vehicles. This catless downpipe replaces the restrictive factory unit, which can hinder performance, particularly after engine tuning.\n\nConstructed from premium T304 seamless stainless steel tubing and T304 stainless steel flanges, this downpipe is 100% TIG welded for maximum durability and performance. It features a CNC-machined turbine discharge flange and smooth transitions to ensure optimal exhaust gas flow. The inclusion of a T304 stainless steel O2 bung and stainless steel clamps further ensures a secure and reliable installation.\n\nThis downpipe is specifically designed for front-wheel-drive MQB models, including the MK7 GTI (Performance Pack included), MK7 Golf 1.8TSI (including Sportwagen FWD), MK7 VW Beetle 1.8TSI, and 8V Audi A3 1.8TSI (FWD only, not Quattro). It aims to provide a great sound with no drone, even when used with the factory exhaust system.\n\nTo mitigate the Check Engine Light (CEL) that typically occurs with a catless downpipe, a proper tuning software upgrade, specifically Stage 2 software, is strongly recommended.","brand":"CTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687563063608,"sku":"EXH-DP-0014-Catless-1.8T","price":487.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664190693.webp?v=1784885117","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/3-5-inch-stainless-steel-downpipe","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
