Do you reckon this downpipe will fit the Polo GTI? it's cheap.

No cat for a start, so you need to be prepared for that. It's cheap enough to throw away if it doesn't.

No cat means you need code that allows for the bypassing of the sensor thats associated with the cat.

Bend does not look sharp enough, I'd assume it may need some work...

Looks cheap and pretty poorly made. Plus having no cat as well.

Agree.. Bend off the back off the turbo does not seem nearly aggressive enough... I would wait for the Exhaust and Dump Pipe group buy if I were you because I know they will be quality, based on previous experience

im gonna have a go at one of these for my a3, was going to build up one from scratch but flange and flex pipe alone would have been 3/4 the cost of this one.

may rebuild half of it but will let you know

Well I got the stainless 3" down pipe (good quality and nice TiG welds, included gaskets), I thought I'd take the gamble as it was $179A landed. I have a mate with a TiG so I thought worst case, I can do a cut 'n' shut job, but all I had to do was take 60mm off the end and it fit perfect - it also has the sensor connections so no error messages

That's pretty damn cheap.. So do you still have a cat?
