While working closely with GESi through several iterations of their G-Sport Emissions Systems Catalytic Converters over the years, our goal once again was to ensure this product would satisfy our compliance demands, while fulfilling Unitronic's performance related goals. The team quickly opted for a GESi 5" UHOX converter for this Performance Downpipe, which met the requirements for the 2.0TSI EA888 EVO4 engine, while being rated for a massive 1000HP.
