{"product_id":"t304-stainless-steel-mandrel-bent-downpipe","title":"T304 Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent Downpipe","description":"Crafted from T304 grade stainless steel, this component features a durable brushed finish and is precisely formed using mandrel bending techniques. By eliminating the restrictive factory catalytic converter located within the OEM downpipe, this system drastically reduces exhaust back pressure.\n\nThis reduction in back pressure allows the engine to expel gases more efficiently, resulting in a noticeable improvement in throttle response, a gain in overall power output, and a more aggressive exhaust tone. AIRTEC recommends this downpipe for use with Stage 2 ECU software but notes it can also be fitted to a standard car. The kit includes all necessary gaskets and fixings for installation and is finished with the distinctive AIRTEC plaque and shield.\n\nPlease be aware that this de-cat downpipe is sold strictly for motorsport and off-road use. It will not pass UK MOT emissions tests or be legal for road-side checks. This product is specifically designed for the VW Golf R MK7 \u0026amp; MK7.5 models equipped with the 2.0 TFSI (EA888 Gen 3 MQB Platform) engine.","brand":"Airtech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686855536952,"sku":"ATEXHVAG1","price":329.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661657031.jpg?v=1784877554","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/t304-stainless-steel-mandrel-bent-downpipe","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
