Description
The Unitronic 3" Downpipe for 1.8 TSI Gen 3 AWD MQB vehicles is engineered for maximum performance, airflow, and durability. Constructed from 3" T304 stainless steel mandrel bent tubing with T316 stainless steel flanges, a corrugated stainless steel flex section, and TIG welded fabrication, this downpipe is built to last while delivering optimum exhaust flow.
Every Unitronic downpipe comes with a 200-cell high-flow metallic catalytic converter and flow-matched transitions to maximize performance.
