Unleash the power of your EA888 Gen 4 engine with the 034Motorsport Racing Downpipe (Reference: 034-105-4053). Specially designed for the Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI, this high-performance turbo downpipe replaces the restrictive factory unit to deliver massive power gains, improved turbo response, and an incomparable engine sound.

Precision Engineering and Pure Performance

Developed in-house by 034Motorsport engineers using 3D scanning technology, this downpipe is manufactured from high-quality 304 stainless steel and is TIG welded. It features a strategically positioned 300-cell Euro4 racing catalytic converter to optimize exhaust gas flow while minimizing restrictions.
