{"product_id":"3-catted-downpipe-for-gen-3-1-8t-2-0t","title":"3\" Catted Downpipe for Gen 3 1.8T\/2.0T","description":"The IE downpipe is a performance exhaust component constructed from TIG-welded 304 stainless steel with 3-inch (76mm) tubing, designed to replace restrictive factory exhaust systems on Gen 3 1.8T and 2.0T engines. It features a high-flow 200-cell catalytic converter with a metal matrix structure for improved flow and reduced emissions and smell, as well as an OEM-style flex section designed for durability.\n\nThis downpipe system is engineered for Stage 2 power levels and aims to reduce turbo lag and increase exhaust flow, leading to performance gains and an aggressive, drone-free sound. IE engineers utilize digital scanning to ensure precise fitment and clearance for all mounting points. The kit includes the downpipe, midpipes, and all necessary hardware. For optimal performance, Stage 2 ECU tuning is required, and an IE air intake and intercooler are highly recommended.\n\nAll-wheel drive (AWD) Quattro, or 4 Motion vehicles require a different mid-pipe section (IE Part Number: IEEXCI1). Audi A3 models from 2014+ (8V) with 1.8T or 2.0T engines may require a 60mm adapter (not included). VW Golf models from 2015+ (MK7\/MK7.5) with 1.8T or 2.0T engines also require a 60mm adapter (not included). Professional installation, preferably on an auto lift, is recommended.\n\nIntegrated Engineering, LLC expressly disclaims any representations, warranties, or claims of emissions compliance. The buyer is responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use of this product.","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688801268024,"sku":"IEEXCI3","price":849.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664208218.webp?v=1784896465","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/3-catted-downpipe-for-gen-3-1-8t-2-0t","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
