The BCS Powervalve Downpipe and 4.5" 300cell Sport Cat is the ideal hardware upgrade when considering a power increase as well as a sound enhancement for the 2.0 TSI Engine. This Hardware upgrade unlocks greater performance potential and delivers an audible uplift in sound, producing a sporty, crisp exhaust tone without unwanted drone. The Downpipe features a 90mm collector directly off the turbo flange, this unique feature acts as a funnel and better matches the direct force from the turbo resulting in less restriction compared to 76mm directly off the turbo. Paired with the Euro 6 regulated 4.5" 300cell Sports cat the downpipe offers full MOT and Emissions compliance without performance compromising as this downpipe will support 380bhp. 

It’s a direct bolt on Oem fitment, mating perfectly to the stock Cat back system and is built for a hassle free installation. If you decide to upgrade the Cat back system at a later stage then the connecting pipe simply swaps out again to allow a continuous 3" flow and to remain a hassle free installation. As with virtually all the TSI engined vehicles, there is very little performance gain to be had from a Cat back system on its own due to the incredibly restrictive downpipe and cat directly off the turbo, however by opting for our unique downpipe and underslung high flow Sports cat the power potential will massive increase - firstly with an initial 20bhp kinetic.

Thermal Protection comes as standard and you have the option of a Ceramic Coating or a Basalt lava rock Titanium Wrap, Both are excellent at containing heat inside the downpipe and forcing it down into the catalyst away from the engine bay ultimately resulting in cooler engine bay temperatures and greater thermal efficiency inside the catalyst units themselves. The Ceramic Coating is 1000℃ and the Titanium Wrap is 1200℃, the difference is minimal and ultimately choice comes down to personal aesthetic preference but we'd recommend the Titanium Wrap for Track vehicles.

Please note: In order to install the downpipe and cat on the MQB platform cars the front subframe will need to be lowered to remove the Oem Downpipe.

The fitting time for this product is 3 - 4 hours
