CTS Turbo EVO4 FWD RACE Exhaust Downpipe MK8 VW GTI/8Y Audi A3

Get your MK8 VW GTI or 8Y Audi A3 flowing with the CTS Turbo 3.5" stainless steel race downpipe for the EVO4 front-wheel-drive platform. The factory downpipe severely restricts exhaust flow and hurts horsepower once you tune — this race design lets the gases flow freely for maximum performance and an aggressive sound.

Why it works

• 3.5" cast downpipe flange
• Mandrel-bent 3" stainless steel tubing
• Factory mounting locations

Build details

• Designed specifically for the MK8 EVO4 FWD platform with Garrett turbocharger
• Race-only downpipe
• Cast stainless steel downpipe flange, 100% TIG welded
• Removable reducer to fit the factory exhaust
• Stainless steel clamps
• Great sound even with the factory exhaust, no drone

Fitment

• 2022+ VW MK8 GTI
• 2022+ 8Y Audi A3

Not compatible with OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles. Most 2022+ cars use updated tamper-proof downpipe hangers that make removing the rubber hanger difficult — an old-style hanger (OEM part 1K0253144AE) can be sourced from your preferred OEM parts retailer. Proper tuning software is required to clear the CEL that will occur — check with your tuner. Stage 2 software is required to avoid a check engine light.
