Questions about this product?
The R2P Downpipe is a high-performance component designed for vehicles with the 1.5 dCi (K9K) engine. Made from superior-grade stainless steel, it improves exhaust gas flow by eliminating the restrictions of the original system, allowing the turbo to breathe better and the engine to work more efficiently. The result: more agile throttle response, less turbo lag and a sportier sound without sacrificing reliability.
Key features
- High-quality stainless steel — Maximum corrosion resistance and durability under extreme temperature conditions.
- Optimized exhaust flow — Eliminates the restrictions of the stock catalytic converter for faster, more efficient gas evacuation.
- Reduced turbo lag — The lower back pressure allows the turbo to build boost sooner, improving response under acceleration.
- Direct installation (bolt-on) — Fits the original mounting points with no need for costly modifications.
- Sporty sound — Provides a more aggressive, deeper exhaust note, enhancing the turbo whistle without being excessive.
