3-Inch Catted Downpipe

The Integrated Engineering IEEXCC5 is a performance downpipe engineered to unlock significant power and torque gains when paired with a Stage 2 or K04 turbo ECU tune. It allows the turbocharger to flow more freely through a 3-inch diameter, 1.5mm thick wall 304 stainless steel pipe construction. This downpipe is designed to replace the factory exhaust from the turbocharger back to the rear exhaust, featuring a robust 16mm thick turbo flange to ensure a leak-free seal and prevent warping. The integrated 200-cell metal matrix catalytic converter significantly reduces emissions and odor without sacrificing horsepower, offering the benefits of a catless system with fewer drawbacks. Installation is facilitated by a V-band mid-pipe connection and an interlock core flex section that accommodates engine movement. This downpipe is compatible with the Audi A3 (FWD only) from 2006-2013 (8P), Volkswagen GTI from 2006-2009 (MK5) and 2010-2014 (MK6), and Volkswagen Jetta/GLI from 2006-2010 (MK5) and 2010-2013 (non Gen 3). It is crucial to note that this downpipe does NOT fit EA888 Gen 3 engines found in some late model (2013+) MK6 Jetta & GLI vehicles; users must verify their engine type before purchasing. Professional installation is recommended, preferably on an auto lift. Important Consumer Notice: This product is a motorsport/racing component.
