1.8T Catted Downpipe is an essential upgrade if you're looking to get the most from your 1.8T equipped Golf. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stock downpipe is built with a dense catalyst that hinders exhaust flow on your 1.8T engine, causing higher back-pressure, increasing turbo lag and causing your turbo to work harder.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing your OEM downpipe with the ARM MK7 Golf 1.8T Downpipe will significantly improve exhaust flow, reducing the back-pressure generated by your turbocharger. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe result of the increased exhaust flow is faster turbo spool, increased power and torque, and a nice improvement in exhaust

Attempting to run Stage 2+ tuning files over 25psi with the stock downpipe can put excessive stress on your turbocharger and is not recommended. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMost tuners require an upgraded downpipe to run their more aggressive
