DSD3226 - Darkside Developments Stainless DPF & Cat Delete Pipe - 3.0 TDI (V6)
The Darkside Developments DPF and Catalytic Converter delete pipe (DSD3226) is the benchmark component for unlocking the potential of the 3.0 TDI V6 engine. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, this kit replaces the restrictive factory elements to improve exhaust flow and engine reliability.
Why choose the Darkside DSD3226 kit?
