Overview
The B48's factory downpipe includes a small-cell pre-catalyst that restricts post-turbo flow. This high-flow catted downpipe replaces it with a less restrictive catalyst, improving turbo spool and exhaust flow on B48 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
Engineering Focus
SS304 stainless steel construction with a high-flow catalyst replacing the OEM pre-cat. Wide B48 platform fitment across F and G-series chassis.
