Upgrade your VW Golf MK7 GTI with the Palenon Performance Downpipe, designed to maximize the potential of your Gen 3 EA888 engine. This high-performance race downpipe is essential for unlocking increased power, optimizing your vehicle's turbo system and throttle response.
Key Features
- Increased Power and Torque: Enjoy a significant boost in horsepower and torque for an exhilarating driving experience.
- Faster Turbo Spool: Experience quicker turbo response with reduced lag.
- Improved Exhaust Note: Enhance your vehicle’s sound with a more aggressive and refined exhaust tone.
Our racing-grade downpipes are expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, using precise and standardized bending techniques to ensure optimal performance and thrilling exhaust note. Our downpipe pricing is U.S. market guaranteed. With an unwavering commitment to both price and quality, we adhere to a "customer-first" standard, ensuring that our products exceed expectations without compromise.
Performance Benefits
The OEM downpipe in your 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.
