This Autoech downpipe is a direct replacement for the front section of the stock downpipe. Fitment to your car requires that your stock catalyst be cut off the downpipe and welded to the SportTuned version. A very simple operation for most muffler shops and 100% legal.
Contructed entirely of T304 Stainless, this 2.5-inch SportTuned Downpipe is a street legal way to get a great power gain, expecially on cars that have maxxed out their bolt-on options and are still looking for more power. Gains on stock cars with stock exhausts are around 3-4 hp, but with a more boost and a bigger exhaust, gains can be much higher, as much as 10-15hp.
Features:
CNC machined flange
Englarged flange-to-flex transition
Special OEM 2.5-inch flex coupler, made by the supplier to VW, for true OE durability
PLEASE NOTE: Dyno tests were done using a 100% stock 2003 Jetta Wolfsburg.
