Overview
The EA113 and EA888 Gen2 factory downpipe carries a restrictive pre-catalyst that limits exhaust flow. This high-flow catted downpipe replaces it with a less restrictive unit — improving turbo spool and exhaust flow on MK6 Golf R and A3 8P applications.
Why Upgrade?
- High-flow catalyst significantly less restrictive than the factory pre-cat or OPF
- Improved exhaust flow and turbo response versus the OEM downpipe
- Retains catalytic converter — better suited to road-registered vehicles
- Stainless steel construction for durability
- More defined exhaust tone on tuned applications
