B9/B9.5 SQ5 3.0T V3 Catted Downpipe

The Can Auto Performance B9/B9.5 SQ5 catted downpipe is engineered to significantly enhance exhaust flow and increase the diameter for the 3.0T V3 engine. This newly released downpipe is designed from the ground up to provide improved performance and aesthetics. Experience a noticeable increase in horsepower, faster turbo response, and a more aggressive exhaust note without unwanted drone when paired with the stock exhaust. The downpipe is constructed from durable cast 304 stainless steel, ensuring strength and thermal stability. It features a 200-cell high-flow catalytic converter optimized for performance while maintaining catalytic function, and includes an integrated heatshield to manage under-hood temperatures. Further enhancing its quality, the downpipe boasts TIG welded and back-purged seams for superior strength and durability, along with precision-cut CNC flanges for an OEM-like fitment, eliminating the need for cutting or welding. The installation is a direct bolt-on process and includes all necessary hardware and gaskets. While professional installation is recommended, the estimated install time is around 2 hours. Important Note: Removal of factory catalytic converters will trigger a check engine light, and software tuning is recommended to maximize power gains.
