The original Downpipe fitted as standard in the car is designed for everything except performance. That factory Downpipe severely restricts exhaust flow and therefore has a detrimental effect on power output, particularly once the car has been chip-tuned. The CTS Sport catalytic converter allows the exhaust gases to flow smoothly, thereby unleashing the extra power you’re looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features include the \u003cstrong\u003eCNC-machined turbine discharge flange\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003e3-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel pipework\u003c\/strong\u003e, the modular design which makes fitting the catalytic converter simple and straightforward, and the smooth transitions for optimal exhaust gas flow. Precise manufacturing, unrivalled quality and a competitive price make this Downpipe a must-have for every VW enthusiast who values performance and looks after their wallet. CTS recommends choosing a version with a sports catalytic converter for the sake of the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e200-cell high-flow sports catalytic converter\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined turbine discharge flange (Downpipe flange)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMandrel-bent 3-inch stainless steel pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eModular design, making catalytic converter fitting simple and straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmooth transitions for optimum exhaust gas flow\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eT304 stainless steel flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e100% TIG-welded\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003estainless steel clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGood sound without drone; sounds good even with the original exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExclusively for non-MQB Gen3 and Gen3-B engines with a V-band Downpipe and black engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial: T304 seamless stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePipe diameter: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ecatalytic converter: 200-cell\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufacturing technique: mandrel-bent tubing, CNC-machined flange, 100% TIG-welded\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13.6 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eContents of the set\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCTS Sport catalytic converter Downpipe, 3-inch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003estainless steel clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs software required after fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
