The CTS Turbo 3-inch downpipe with high-flow catalytic converter is designed for Gen3 TSI EA888.3 engines. The factory downpipe heavily restricts exhaust gas flow, especially on vehicles with modified engine software. This version enables improved exhaust gas flow and is suitable for upgrades with more powerful software.
The downpipe features a CNC-machined turbo outlet flange, mandrel-bent 3-inch stainless steel tubing and a modular design for easy catalytic converter installation. Smooth transitions help provide optimal exhaust gas flow.
