Product Details
Description
The new CTS Turbo 3.5″ Stainless Steel High-Flow CAT designed specifically for the EVO4 FWD (front wheel drive) platform perfectly fits MK8 VW GTI/8Y Audi A3 models. The factory downpipe included with your vehicle may not prioritize performance, resulting in significant exhaust flow restrictions and reduced horsepower, especially after tuning. With the CTS Turbo High-Flow CAT, you can unlock the full potential of your car by allowing smooth exhaust gas flow and gaining the extra power you desire, all while adding an impressive visual appeal.
The key highlights of this downpipe include a 3.5″ cast downpipe flange, mandrel bent 3″ stainless steel tubing, and easy installation utilizing the factory mounting locations. Precision fabrication, exceptional quality, and a competitive price point make the CTS Turbo MK8 FWD downpipe an essential upgrade for drivers seeking maximum performance and an exhilarating sound experience.
Note: not compatible with OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles.

Smooth
2013 Audi A3 stage 2 ecu tune. I installed this downpipe
In about 3.5 -4 hours. I also have the neuspeed intake with stock exhaust. And a diverter valve upgrade. It's very quick now. Not even loud! My wife didn't even notice:) gained a bit of mid range torque. This is the best priced downpipe I could find. And I got it during a sale $450. Well worth it!
Next!? Better brakes! -

Review shared from CTS Turbo 3.5" Downpipe - w/Cat (15-21 GTI, 19+ GLI)
Got this pipe during a sale and was somewhat concerned about getting a CEL as I am currently not tuned. Picked up the Vibrant J bend O2 extender on Amazon in hopes of eliminating the chance of being emissions noncompliant and wow! This pipe sounds great, looks great, and fits very well. The vibrant J bend O2 extender with the medium insert has worked, never seen a CEL and my butt dyno says I certainly gained some horses and torque. Thanks Modded Euros, packaged well, great fast shipping and a quality product. I will come to you guys for more goodies in the future.

Just buy it
I watched every mk7 Gti downpipe video on YouTube for weeks before buying this, wish I just did it sooner, fitment was perfect and shipped in 24 hours right to my door.
Shipping 10/10
Sound 10/10
Price 10/10
Butt dyno 10/10Car sounds like a beast and pulls like a train w/ stage 2 unitronic ecu software paired with this downpipe. I highly recommend getting new tires before going stage 2 because the wheel spin is insane.

Amazing sound and power!
Car is loud now with the stage 2 software and this down pipe. Went on very easy. Old pipe was alot harder to take off then installing this new one.
Overall very happy. Only this is with stage 2 tires spin like instantly. Hahaha

2017 VW GLI CTS Downpipe
Nice quality, doesn't fit good at all, rattles her loudly, strong vibration, we had to heat up the hangers to adjust it so it would stop shaking so much.

Great product...easy install. Note..you will have to trim the slip pipe to your needs. Took 1hr with hand tools on the garage floor with jacks. Good line up and clearance.

CTS Turbo downpipe on MK6
It's a great product. The exhaust is still quiet, just like stock. I can hear the turbo more and matches great with my CTS blowoff valve. They sound amazing! Better response also. CTS products are a good investment to add hp gains.

Review shared from CTS Turbo 3.5" Downpipe - w/Cat (15-21 GTI, 19+ GLI)
Great product and shipping.
This downpipe is exactly what my mk7 GTI needed. Build quality is top notch, and fitment is perfect. I'm loving the increased exhaust note and faster spool. Shipping was excellent as well.
