The BCS Powervalve Cat delete pipe is the ideal hardware upgrade when considering a power increase on the 2,0 TFSi engine. In addition, you will notice an audible uplift in the sound-producing a nice sporty tone in the vehicle under acceleration.

1000deg titanium ceramic coating by Camcoat standard on top section of downpipe. ( please see pics ).

Additional coating is available, please ask.

The  BCS Powervalve downpipe and cat delete cat come with a connecting pipe to allow you to connect to the OEM cat-back system with a minimum of fuss. If you decide to upgrade to the full turbo-back system at a later stage then the connecting pipe simply swaps out again to allow the installation with a minimum of fuss.

The primary use for the  cat delete pipe variant is the track, or closed/private road, as this product is illegal for road use.

This product will not pass an MOT

As with virtually all of the TFSi engined vehicles, there is very little performance gain to be had from the cat-back system on its own, due to the incredibly restrictive downpipe and twin OEM cats. However, by opting for our unique downpipe and cat delete pipe, the power potential will massively increase, firstly with an initial 22bhp kinetic, and then once mapped all the way up to stage 3 the following figures are achievable (along with suitable additional hardware...)

(all Performance figures are based on levels achieved by R-Tech Performance)

If you require more power from your A3 or Mk5/6 GTi we recommend the 76mm (up to 400 bhp) or 90mm (400 bhp+) downpipe to go with this system.

We recommend a new turbo to the front pipe gasket when performing the installation although this is not essential.

We also recommend that the Powerflex uprated dog-bone mount is selected when purchasing the full turbo-back system. This will decrease the amount of stress on your downpipe once the car's torque has been increased after remapping.
