Description
Upgrade your MK7 GTI, Golf, or A3 with the CTS Turbo MK7 GTI/Golf/A3 Catted Downpipe, and experience a significant boost in performance and sound. Our meticulously crafted downpipe is designed specifically for front-wheel-drive MQB vehicles, including the MK7 GTI (including Performance Pack), MK7 Golf 1.8TSI (including Sportwagen FWD), MK7 VW Beetle 1.8TSI, and 8V Audi A3 1.8TSI (FWD only, not Quattro).
Unlike the factory downpipe that hinders performance, our CTS Turbo downpipe is constructed from premium 3.5" stainless steel tubing, allowing for smooth exhaust gas flow and the liberation of additional horsepower. With a CNC-machined turbine discharge flange and mandrel-bent construction, this downpipe ensures optimal exhaust flow and long-lasting durability.
Installation is a breeze thanks to our modular design, which simplifies the integration of a catalytic converter. Worried about emissions and inspections? Our optional catalytic converter addresses these concerns, enabling you to comply with regulations while enjoying improved performance.
Precision fabrication and unparalleled quality are at the core of our CTS Turbo MK7 Downpipe. Crafted from T304 seamless stainless steel tubing, this downpipe features T304 stainless steel flanges, 100% TIG welding, and a stainless steel O2 bung. The included stainless steel clamps provide a secure fit, while the design ensures a great sound even with the factory exhaust, eliminating drone.
To prevent the CEL (check engine light) from appearing, we recommend using proper tuning software. Additionally, opting for a High Flow Cat contributes to environmental preservation. Our optional CEL eliminator significantly reduces the likelihood of a CEL triggering for catalytic converter efficiency codes. For an enhanced driving experience, we suggest disabling the Soundaktor (noise amplifier) to fully appreciate the true sound of your engine and eliminate excessive drone caused by the device.
For the ultimate performance gains, we strongly recommend pairing the CTS Turbo MK7 GTI/Golf/A3 Catted Downpipe with a Stage 2 software upgrade. Unleash the full potential of your vehicle and enjoy the thrill of improved power and responsiveness.
Choose the CTS Turbo MK7 GTI/Golf/A3 Catted Downpipe and join the ranks of VW enthusiasts who prioritize both performance and value. Take your driving experience to the next level while maintaining environmental responsibility with this essential upgrade.
