The perfect way to unleash hidden horsepower in your VW MK7 Golf R or Audi 8v A3/S3 is to upgrade the restrictive factory downpipe with a smoother, higher flowing unit. Our ECS Tuning MQB 4Motion / MQB Quattro High Flow Catted Downpipe will increase performance and add a sophisticated growl to the exhaust note. Ideal performance is achieved through expelling exhaust gasses at maximum velocity through a larger diameter, freer flowing downpipe due to smoother bend radius, larger internal diameter, and a less-restrictive catalytic converter. We measured maximum gains of +20 ft/lbs of wheel torque and +6 AWHP on a VW MK7.5 Golf R (DSG) when equipped with our ECS Tuning Luft-Technik Intake System on stock software and through the OE catback exhaust.
Our High Flow Catted Downpipe Kit is designed to not only free up horsepower, independent of software changes, but to allow more aggressive ECU tuning which nets even further increases in engine output when combined with our Downpipe Kit. In-House Designed and Engineered with sophisticated 3D modeling software, our kit utilizes only premium materials and technologically advanced development techniques to deliver unmatched quality and reliability.

A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
