Unlock the hidden potential of your turbocharged engine with the CTS Turbo 1.4T 3" Downpipe (SKU: CTS-EXH-DP-0033), available at Straight Six Imports. Engineered specifically for the VW MK6/MK7 Jetta SE and MK7 Golfequipped with the 1.4T engine, this downpipe is the key to increasing horsepower, improving torque, and sharpening turbo spool-up time.

The factory downpipe is designed with restrictive bends and a dense catalytic converter that creates significant backpressure. The CTS Turbo solution replaces this with a 3" CNC mandrel-bent stainless steel pipe, allowing exhaust gases to exit the turbocharger with maximum velocity.

Key Performance Features & Benefits:

• T304 Stainless Steel Construction: Hand-crafted and TIG welded using premium stainless steel for long-term durability and resistance to the elements.

• True 3" Diameter: Provides a massive increase in flow capacity over the stock unit, supporting significantly higher boost levels and power output.

• Faster Turbo Spool: By reducing backpressure directly at the turbo outlet, you'll experience a noticeable decrease in turbo lag and a more responsive powerband.

• Modular Design: Includes a reducer to ensure a seamless connection to your factory exhaust system or a full 3" aftermarket cat-back.

• Aggressive Exhaust Note: Enhances the acoustic profile of your 1.4T, giving it a deeper, more pronounced "sport" growl under heavy acceleration.

• Stage 2 Ready: This hardware upgrade is required for most Stage 2 ECU calibrations, allowing you to safely maximize the performance of the EA211 engine.

Fitment Note: This downpipe is a direct fit for the MK6 and MK7 Jetta SE (1.4T) and MK7 Golf (1.4T). Due to the removal of the factory catalytic converter, an ECU remap is recommended to optimize performance and prevent CEL (Check Engine Light) codes.

Invest in the hardware that delivers results. Order your CTS Turbo Downpipe (CTS-EXH-DP-0033) from Straight Six Imports and take your Jetta or Golf to the next level.
