Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo High Flow CAT Downpipe is engineered to significantly enhance the performance of select VW and Audi 2.0T AWD models. By replacing the restrictive factory downpipe, this component allows for quicker turbo spool, increased peak power, and improved torque across the entire powerband. The 3" diameter T304 seamless stainless steel tubing and 100% TIG welded construction ensure durability and optimal exhaust gas flow, minimizing turbulence and maximizing power output. Featuring a 200-cell metallic race catalytic converter, this downpipe not only boosts performance but also provides a more aggressive exhaust note. It is precisely fabricated with T304 stainless steel flanges and O2 bungs for reliable sensor integration. A removable 60mm reducer is included to seamlessly connect with the factory exhaust sleeve clamp, simplifying installation. This downpipe is a direct fit for the 2012-2013 VW MK6 Golf R 2.0T, 2006-2013 Audi MK2 TT Quattro 2.0T, 2006-2013 Audi MK2 TTS Quattro 2.0T, 2006-2013 Audi 8P A3 Quattro 2.0T, and 2006-2013 Audi 8P S3 Quattro 2.0T. It is essential to have Stage 2 software installed to prevent a check engine light illumination after installation. This product is sold exclusively for competition use and is not street-legal.
