IE MQB PERFORMANCE DOWNPIPE (AWD)
The IE Catted Cast Downpipe for MQB incorporates the best of all worlds. Cast bend sections enable the highest flow and best fitment possible. Impressive performance gains will be realized when used with an IE stage 2 ECU tune. Lastly, the aggressive sound from an unrestricted exhaust system is guaranteed to be music to your ears.
LEADING FEATURES
POWER GAINS
The most power gains will be achieved when the IE Downpipe is paired with IE matching ECU software, air intake, and FDS intercooler.
SOUND TUNING
An aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe. This should be music to your ears! Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality.
HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER
IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced.
DIRECT BOLT-ON WITH PERFECT FITMENT
The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Sturdy fabricated mounts and precise engineering result in a rattle free and long last replacement exhaust system. 3D scanning systems were employed to ensure perfect placement both in pre and post-production phases.
INSTALLATION
Installation should be completed by a professional and preferably on an auto lift. CLICK HERE to view and download the install guide.

IE downpipe MK7.5 R stock catback
Got the IE downpipe for my MK7.5 R, paired with the stock catback and resonator. Perfect combination for performance and sound. During start-up, there's a noticeable growl that's slightly louder than stock. Under normal driving conditions, in comfort or sport mode, the car sounds just slightly louder than stock. Can barely tell the difference inside the car, which is exactly what I was looking for as I didn't want an obnoxious exhaust.
