Downpipe for a MK6 Golf 118tsi

[Guy_H]

Magnaflow should be fine as long as its 200 cell metal inside.

The problem with the TSI downpipe & custom fab is a few things. 2.75 is the ideal size we are shooting for & its not super common, so some places don't keep it - secondly there are two heat shields that need to be fabricated onto the exhaust in the first section, there is a lot of wiring & coolant hoses running close to the upper section - not impossible, but very time consuming on one offs. We have also added extra heat protection where is passes under the intercooler return section & through the sump cavity. No use gaining horsepower if you add intake temps or shorten component life!

Would ceramic coating on the DP help?

[Guy_H]

Not in this particular case - it really needs a secondary shield.

Sorry, I meant in addition to the 2ndary shielding - I'm paranoid about heat soak.

[Guy_H]

Ceramic coating is an awesome idea, but benefit vs cost probably wont add up too much in this case.

We are now 18 months down the track, has anyone seen a downpipe for the 118TSI yet?

Looks like Supersprint have one but it has no cat. 458 GBP.

I'll see if i can find anything else.

This ones for a Polo GTI 1.4TSI: Downpipe and race cat for a VW Polo 1.4 TSI 2010+ but it might also fit the Golf with the same engine?

[Guy_H]

Polo versions don't fit Golfs unfortunately. I would avoid any that don't have the heat shields in the right place, we have already seen 2 "custom" versions that melted engine bay ancillaries from deleting shields.

^ Bugger - fair enough.

What about this one: VAGSG Community - View Single Post - Velocity downpipe for vw scirocco/golf/jetta 1.4 tsi

It doesnt have the heat shields but surely you could get an exhaust shop to help out with that when installing.

Or these (if you can read Greek)

There is obviously tons on the market - someone should import them all & test them.

Only one has a diameter listed which is 63mm.

We gained another 6wkw from going from 63kw to 70mm diameter exhaust - if you want to extract more power, you need to start there.
