Bull-X 2.75″ downpipe for VW Up GTI 1.0 TSI EA211

BULL-X Exhausts produces downpipes to the highest standard. This downpipe for VAG 1.0 TSI Euro engines, as fitted to the VW Up GTI, can be used as a complete replacement for the original part. Excellent fitment and high-quality materials make this a premium product. Optimising the diameter, pipe routing and catalytic converter significantly reduces the load on the turbocharger. Lower back pressure and reduced thermal load provide a noticeable increase in torque and power, sharper response and improved durability at the same time.

Catalytic converter information

When selecting a downpipe without a catalytic converter or with a 100-cell or 200-cell catalytic converter, the ECU may report a fault from the post-catalyst lambda sensor. This does not affect drivability, as the first lambda sensor responsible for engine management remains fitted. The post-catalyst sensor is used only to monitor catalytic converter efficiency. On most vehicles up to Euro 3 emissions standard, no post-catalyst sensor is fitted, so installation is possible without further adjustments or a warning light.

The washcoat content of HJS ECE and EOBD catalytic converters is considerably higher, giving them a very high oxygen-storage capacity and helping to prevent fault messages. The EOBD catalytic converters have been tested for this purpose up to Euro 4. Their durability and use are suitable up to Euro 6 emissions standard. On Euro 5/6 vehicles, the points mentioned above can only be avoided by selecting an ECE catalytic converter.

Suitable for: VW UP I (AA).
