Overview

The CTS Turbo Mk5/Mk6 2.0T FWD Downpipe is a 3-inch stainless steel downpipe with a high-flow catalytic converter designed for Audi and VW 2.0T FSI and 2.0TSI transverse engines. It features mandrel bent tubing, a modular design for simple installation, and smooth transitions for optimal exhaust gas flow.

The factory downpipe restricts exhaust flow, negatively impacting horsepower, especially on chipped vehicles. This CTS Turbo downpipe allows exhaust gases to flow smoothly, freeing up additional power.
Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo Mk5/Mk6 2.0T FWD Downpipe is constructed from T304 seamless stainless steel tubing and flanges, featuring 100% TIG welding for durability. It incorporates a 200-cell metal high-flow catalytic converter and three oxygen sensor bungs to accommodate various models. The downpipe is designed for compatibility with factory or aftermarket cat-back exhaust systems and includes a removable 60mm reducer for straightforward installation. An optional installation kit with a gasket and copper lock nuts is available. This downpipe is compatible with BPY, BWA, CBFA, and CCTA engines. It fits a range of Audi and VW models including the A3 8P (2005-2013), TT Mk2 (2008-2015), VW CC (2009-2017), Golf/GTI Mk5 & Mk6 (2006-2014), and Passat B6 (2006-2010), all equipped with the 2.0T engine and FWD drivetrain where applicable. Installation requires the use of the factory sleeve clamp, which is not included. Additionally, for vehicles that would typically trigger a check engine light (CEL) due to the removal of the catalytic converter, proper tuning software, such as Stage 2 software, is required to avoid illumination. The product is also subject to California's Proposition 65 warning regarding cancer and reproductive harm.
