    2006 2010 Volkswagen GTI 2 0T FSI TSI Ccta MKV 3" Turbo Exhaust Downpipe | eBay

    This is super cheap! But is it the right one? I would also consider one for my pre-fl VRS. But I can't figure out which one suits.

    Does someone know if they give the car a better note, and what power differences can be found? Also, what is swapped/cut out when installing this?
    Cheers

    the CCTx engine is the US version - its different to the European version, the one we get.
    i think pre-fl 2008 has the same engine as the facelift - CCZx engine.
    double check that it can be used.

    as for the size, i've been told to get the jetta mk5 version, as it will have the right length.

    Anything for a golf is going to be WAY too long. It will need to be trimmed and the 2"(2.25) outlet welded back on.

    Ive just had a mk5 gti one modified with a new flange to suit the TSI engine and shortened for the Octavia. cost me more to have it modded than to purchase it and get it here from Germany. but, its a work of art!

    AFAIK the US ones are hit and miss for fitment due to the engine differences already mentioned by darkshadow.

    neither will fit without modifications

    those are for the TFSI, you need one for the TSI. the stud pattern for the turbo outlet is slightly different. unfortunately, youll need a new flange put on that down pipe.

    cant find a copy of the flange, but ill go take a pic of mine.

    here is the gasket to suit the TFSI and TSI turbo. note the two elongated holes. all the MK6(TSI) ones are like this:



    EDIT:

    OK here is my flange. it was laser cut, and then the gasket drawn on it. hopefully I don't need to trim it down, as something that size will have less of a change of warping. doesn't look spectacular, but it will work.

    the gasket is the same for the TSI and TFSI

    but that down pipe (just by looking at it) doesn't look like it will fit. none of the MK5 ones appear to fit.

    that said, im sure it could easily be modded to fit

    it will also go so much better after!!
