{"product_id":"3-5-stainless-steel-downpipe-w-high-flow-cat","title":"3.5\" Stainless Steel Downpipe w\/ High-Flow Cat","description":"The CTS Turbo 3.5″ Stainless Steel Downpipe with High-Flow Cat is engineered to replace the restrictive factory downpipe in your MK2 VW Tiguan or Audi Q3 AWD 1.8T\/2.0T. This CTS Turbo downpipe facilitates smoother exhaust gas flow, unlocking additional power and improving the overall aesthetic of your exhaust system. Its construction includes a CNC-machined turbine discharge flange, mandrel-bent 3.5″ to 3.0″ stainless steel tubing, and a modular design for easy catalytic converter installation.\n\nPrecision fabrication and quality materials are hallmarks of this downpipe. It is constructed from T304 seamless stainless steel tubing, features T304 stainless steel flanges, and is 100% TIG welded. The kit also includes a T304 stainless steel O2 bung and Torca Accuseal stainless steel clamps. Despite its performance enhancements, it is noted to provide a great sound with no drone, even when integrated with the factory exhaust system.\n\nFitment is specific to the 2017 – current VW Tiguan 1.8T\/2.0T 4-motion AWD (MQB) and the 2019 – current Audi Q3 1.8T\/2.0T 4-motion AWD (MQB). A crucial note for 184hp engines is that they require a 60mm reducer to connect to the factory exhaust; this should be selected from the dropdown menu. For optimal performance and to prevent a check engine light (CEL), Stage 2 software tuning is required. An optional CEL eliminator is available to further reduce the possibility of a cat efficiency code. Additionally, disabling the factory Soundaktor (noise amplifier) is recommended to fully appreciate the true sound of your motor and eliminate potential excessive drone caused by that device.","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687561818424,"sku":"CTS-EXH-DP-0015-T-CAT","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664190657.webp?v=1784885108","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/3-5-stainless-steel-downpipe-w-high-flow-cat","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
