    Downpipe wont make a difference. As long as its around 3" diameter with a hi flow cat then one brand is no different to another - dont waste your money changing it.

    Okay. I did heard ppl say that downpipe gains the same power. Does it worth to go to stage 2?

    My understanding is that you have a after market downpipe installed already, therefore you should get suitable tune for it, not only to get the extra benefit of the new hardwares, also to make sure your car runs correctly.

    I don't understand what you are trying to say???

    Any aftermarket downpipe of 3" diameter for the Mk6 GTI will be very similar in terms of performance - any differences would be so small you would not even know about it. Certainly not worth the money to swap down pipes simply to try and make 5kw.

    I run a Eurojet downpipe on my MK6 GTI with 200 cel cat, and i certainly wouldn't be swapping it with anything else unless it got damaged.

    You will need to have your tune updated to suit the new intake and down pipe.
