Installation and Usage

Fitting a downpipe on a transverse MQB engine requires access around the turbo outlet and subframe, so installation by a performance workshop is recommended. Catless downpipes require ECU calibration to manage oxygen sensor readings and avoid warning lights. After fitting, check flange seals, sensor connections and clearance to the driveshaft and surrounding components.
