By eliminating the restriction created by the stock catalytic converter, exhaust gas flow is drastically improved, which translates into more power, better turbo response and a sportier sound.

The R2P downpipe removes this restriction, allowing exhaust gases to exit more freely. In addition, by lowering the turbo's operating temperature, its service life is extended. Unlike other budget options made from carbon steel that corrode easily, T304 stainless steel ensures durability and stability over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs it necessary to remap the ECU?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a Stage 1 or Stage 2 remap is recommended to avoid the engine warning light (CEL) and make the most of the performance increase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it pass roadworthiness inspection?\u003c\/strong\u003e By removing the catalytic converter, emissions values may be altered.
