034Motorsport Cast Stainless Steel Performance Downpipe - A3 8V / Golf 7 GTI 2WD EA888 Gen 3 1.8T/2.0T

034Motorsport proudly presents the Cast Stainless Steel Racing Downpipe for 8V Audi A3 FWD and MkVII Volkswagen Golf/GTI models with EA888 Gen 3 1.8T/2.0T engines. Designed for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance, this downpipe delivers increased horsepower and torque across the powerband, reduced turbo lag, and an aggressive, refined exhaust note.

Optimized for superior flow, the MQB 1.8T/2.0T Cast Stainless Steel Racing Downpipe features carefully engineered geometry and a 101.6mm Euro 3 racing catalytic converter in the factory location. Built for durability and fitment, it includes: an integrated v-band flange at the turbine outlet, an O2 sensor bung post-catalyst, OEM-style corrugated flex bellow, and a factory-location exhaust hanger. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and TIG-welded, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance.

Developed entirely in-house on 034Motorsport’s MkVII Volkswagen GTI using 3D scanning, CAD, and rapid prototyping, the downpipe was rigorously tested on multiple enthusiast-owned 8V Audi A3 and MkVII Golf/GTI vehicles before release.
