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. The OEM-inspired catalytic converter heat shield minimizes radiant heat in the engine bay, while the v-band fastening system ensures a fast, precise, and reusable installation. Brushed matte finish adds an elegant look that will last for years.
