VW MK5 GTI 3" Turbo-Back Exhaust

The CTS Turbo VW MK5 GTI 3″ Turbo-back Exhaust system is engineered for both street use and high-performance driving. Crafted by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, CTS Turbo has developed this system to overcome the breathing limitations of smaller diameter exhausts, which can choke peak power. The 3-inch piping design is ideal for those seeking significant horsepower gains. Constructed from premium T304 seamless stainless steel, this exhaust system is meticulously hand TIG welded to ensure longevity and resistance to cracking or decay over time. It features water jet cut flanges, CNC mandrel bent stainless steel piping, and polished tubing for a sleek appearance. The system includes adjustable 3-inch exhaust tips, contributing to an aggressive sound during hard driving that remains subtle when cruising. This turbo-back system eliminates the factory downpipe, leading to increased turbo spool-up and enhanced peak power. The larger 3-inch diameter allows exhaust gases and wastegate flow to exit the turbo with less turbulence, resulting in improved power and torque throughout the entire powerband. An upgraded downpipe is a significant performance enhancement for any turbocharged vehicle. Product details include a true 3″ stainless steel turbo-back construction, adjustable polished stainless steel exhaust tips, and a high-flow catalytic converter. Please note that Stage 2 software is required to avoid a check engine light. This product is sold for competition use and is not legal for use in highway or street vehicles.
