{"product_id":"3-inch-high-flow-cat-downpipe-for-gen-3-tsi-ea888-3","title":"3-Inch High-Flow Cat Downpipe for Gen 3 TSI EA888.3","description":"The CTS Turbo 3″ Stainless Steel High-Flow Cat is engineered to significantly enhance exhaust flow for Gen 3 TSI EA888.3 engines. It directly replaces the restrictive factory downpipe, which can hinder horsepower gains, particularly in tuned vehicles. This performance downpipe is constructed from T304 seamless stainless steel tubing and flanges, featuring 100% TIG welding for maximum durability and a clean aesthetic. It incorporates a high-flow 200-cell catalytic converter, a T304 Stainless Steel O2 bung, and stainless steel clamps, all while providing a great sound without unwanted drone, even with the factory exhaust system.\n\nThe tubing is mandrel-bent to ensure smooth transitions and optimal exhaust gas flow.\n\nKey specifications include T304 Seamless Stainless Steel tubing and flanges, a high-flow 200-cell catalytic converter, and T304 Stainless Steel O2 bung. The design aims for great sound without drone. Please note that installation of this performance downpipe will cause a Check Engine Light (CEL). To avoid this, proper tuning software is required, and CTS Turbo recommends using Stage 2 software for optimal operation and to prevent CEL warnings. A V-band downpipe and black engine cover are also prerequisites for proper fitment on non-MQB Gen3 and Gen3-B engines.\n\nThis downpipe is compatible with the 2013.5 – 2018 MK6 Jetta 1.8T\/2.0T Gen3 TSI (including B-cycle models), the 2013.5 – 2018 VW Beetle 1.8T\/2.0T Gen3 TSI (including B-cycle models), and the 2013.5 – 2020 VW Passat 1.8T Gen3 TSI (including B-cycle models).","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52662765683000,"sku":"CTS-EXH-DP-0013","price":339.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664190679.webp?v=1784320728","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/3-inch-high-flow-cat-downpipe-for-gen-3-tsi-ea888-3","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
