With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains are achieved, sound is increased, and turbo lag is reduced. IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel offers a life-long product that brings performance and fun to the table for years to come.\nStage 2 ECU tuning is required, for the most power gains possible we also highly recommend an IE air intake and IE FDS intercooler.\n \nSOUND TUNING:\n\n\n\n\n\nAn aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe giving your car a true motorsport feel. Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound and annoying exhaust drone emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality.\n \n\n\nHIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER (CAT):\n\n\nIE’s MQB performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/mk7_mqb_downpipe_18.1528175956_720x_02c42c86-31a2-4984-a9c2-d56717c4a293.webp?v=1713899034","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/IEEXCI3_02.jpg?v=1745434618","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/IEEXCI3_03.jpg?v=1745434618","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/IEEXCI3_05.jpg?v=1745434618","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/IEEXCI3_06.jpg?v=1745434618","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/4898/2060/files/IEEXCI3_04.jpg?v=1745434618"],"price":849.99,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-20T14:56:28.436Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_vOF0k7ux","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
