Performance Benefits The OEM downpipe in your Audi A3 or VW Golf MK7 can limit your engine's performance due to its restrictive catalyst, causing higher back-pressure and turbo lag. Replacing it with the Palenon Performance Downpipe will drastically improve exhaust flow, reduce back-pressure, and support higher boost levels, particularly with Stage 2+ tuning. This upgrade is crucial for running aggressive tunes safely and effectively, providing a noticeable improvement in both performance and sound. Construction & Design Material: Made from TIG-welded T304 grade stainless steel for durability and longevity. Single-Piece Design: A solid-unit construction eliminates common issues associated with multi-piece downpipes. Precision Fitment: Laser-cut mounting brackets and CNC-machined prongs ensure a perfect fit with your stock mounting points. Connection Options: Includes a 2.5" reducer for stock systems and a 3" adapter for upgraded cat-back exhaust systems, using a CNC-machined v-band system for a secure and leak-free connection. Resonator: Features a 4" straight-through resonator to enhance exhaust sound without obstructing flow. For a catted version, a 200 Cell High-Flow Catalyst is available as an alternative. Flex Section: Incorporates a stainless steel flex section to reduce turbocharger stress during acceleration, cornering, and braking. Performance Gains: Expect gains up to 60 WHP and 105 WTQ with a proper tune, especially with the stock IS20 turbocharger.
