We can say without a doubt that this is the best Downpipe on the market for the Volkswagen Golf 8R, Audi S3 8Y and Cupra Formentor 2.0 TSI. This is an extreme Downpipe, lovingly handcrafted in Europe and built for maximum performance, massive flow and absolute durability. Built for maximum performance and long-lasting quality.
The V2 Downpipe is designed as a one-piece system, resulting in 0% exhaust leaks and a 100% fit guarantee. This is essential for high-performance EA888.4 vehicles, where poor exhaust connections can directly cause back pressure, heat issues or resonance.
Give your 2.0 TSI EA888.4 MQB Evo engine the ultimate upgrade with the Endura Motorsport V2 Downpipe. This version features a large 3.5-inch elbow, crafted from T304 stainless steel and fully hand-welded using the TIG process for maximum strength and reliability.
Immediately after the turbo is a large 3.5-inch (89 mm) elbow, which ensures an extremely smooth flow of exhaust gases. After the elbow, the Downpipe remains a full 3.5 inches in diameter right up to the flex section. From the flex section, the pipe tapers to 3 inches (76 mm) and then connects plug-and-play to the original centre silencer or exhaust. This design delivers faster Spool-up, more torque, lower EGT and reduced back pressure.
The V2 Downpipe has a total of 3 sensor connections:
• 1x
lambda sensor• 2x temperature sensors (EGT)
Important: the original Downpipe has two additional connections for OPF pressure sensors. These are not present on the V2 Downpipe, as these measurements are no longer used in performance upgrades.
What to do:
Remove the metal pipes from the pressure sensors. You will be left with the rubber hoses.
Sealing:
• Insert a sealing plug or M8 bolt into each hose•
Secure with a hose clamp to ensure a 100% airtight seal
Tidy away:
• Secure the hoses behind a heat
shield using cable ties• Ensure they do not come into contact with the exhaust or moving parts

Please note: Propeller shaft guard
. Due to the large diameter of the V2 Downpipe (3.5 inches), there is insufficient space for the original propeller shaft guard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this V2 Downpipe fit the original exhaust?
Yes, thanks to the included adapter, the Downpipe connects directly to the original centre silencer.
Do I need a tune?
A tune is recommended for both decat and sportcat setups to avoid fault codes and optimise performance.
What is the difference between a decat and a sport cat?
A decat offers maximum flow and sound, whilst the 200-cell sport cat offers high flow with reduced emissions and a quieter sound.
