Easy install, amazing gains
Getting the factory downpipe off wasn't easy, but getting this one installed was a piece of cake. The gains were substantial and immediately noticeable. On my 2019 Jetta GLI, the sound isn't much louder than stock, to be honest. I was expecting louder, but I still have the stock catback. Make sure you have a spotter to assist in removing the factory downpipe.

Great gains, great engine response
Installation was a cinch. Getting the stock downpipe off, however, was not. There was zero room to work with! It helps to have a spotter on top while you work underneath the car. Performance gains are very nice over stage 1. It now pulls all the way to redline, and turbo lag is much less apparent. Also, looks good, but unassuming, with a nice brushed stainless finish. Since there's no Unitronic logo all over the top half, it looks almost stock from the engine bay. Welds are nice. The Unitronic stamp on the subframe mount is a nice touch. The excellent v band system means no exhaust leaks. This is worth the price for the excellent fitment.

The downpipe arrived and the quality is awesome. Zero fitment issues, OEM cat placement, and v-band clamps make the installation super easy.
