CTS Turbo MQB FWD Exhaust Downpipe (MK7/MK7.5 Golf, GTI, GLI, A3 FWD)

Open up your front-wheel-drive MQB platform with the CTS Turbo 3.5" stainless steel downpipe, built for MK7 GTI (incl. Performance Pack), MK7 Jetta GLI, MK7 Golf 1.8TSI, MK7 Beetle 1.8TSI, MK3 Audi TT (FWD), and 8V Audi A3 1.8TSI (FWD). The factory downpipe chokes exhaust flow and hurts power, especially once you're tuned — this design lets the gases flow freely so the turbo delivers the ponies you're after.

Why it works

• CNC-machined turbine discharge (downpipe) flange
• Mandrel-bent 3" stainless steel tubing with smooth transitions
• Modular design that makes adding a catalytic converter simple

Build details

• T304 seamless stainless steel tubing
• T304 stainless steel flanges
• 100% TIG welded and back-purged
• T304 stainless steel O2 bung
• Stainless steel clamps
• Great sound even with the factory exhaust, no drone

Fitment

• 2015–2020 VW Golf 1.8TSI FWD (incl. facelift)
• 2015–2021 VW GTI 2.0TSI (incl. PP and facelift)
• 2015–2020 Audi A3 1.8TSI FWD (incl. facelift)

Proper tuning software is required to clear the CEL that will occur, and CTS recommends choosing a high-flow cat for the sake of the environment. The optional CEL eliminator greatly reduces the chance of a cat-efficiency CEL but is not 100% effective. We recommend disabling your Soundaktor to fully enjoy your motor's true sound and remove excessive drone. Stage 2 software is required to avoid a check engine light.
