Description
Unlock the full performance potential of your Audi 8V A3, Audi 8V S3, and Volkswagen MK7 Golf R 2.0T with the Palenon Performance Downpipe. Engineered specifically for high-performance enthusiasts, this premium high-flow catted downpipe is designed to optimize exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and improve overall engine efficiency—perfect for vehicles running Stage 2 or higher tunes.
Manufactured from TIG-welded T304 stainless steel, the downpipe offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance. Its three-piece construction, featuring precision-machined v-band connections, ensures secure, leak-free joints and easy installation. The inclusion of a straight 3" section accommodates aftermarket cat-back systems designed for seamless 3" transitions.
The Palenon Performance downpipe features a robust 200-cell high-flow catalyst that balances enhanced performance with emissions compliance. The integrated stainless steel flex section helps absorb vibrations and reduces stress on the turbocharger during acceleration, cornering, and braking, extending the longevity of your turbo system.
Performance benefits include up to 20 wheel horsepower (AWHP) and 27 lb-ft of torque (AWTQ) gains, coupled with noticeably faster turbo spool and a more aggressive yet refined exhaust note. Laser-cut mounting brackets and CNC-machined prongs ensure a perfect fitment with your vehicle’s OEM mounting points, maintaining factory reliability and ease of installation.
