    Turbo Downpipe

    Hey all. Keen to know if anyone has fitted a catted turbo downpipe to their Tiguan whilst keeping the factory cat back exhaust? I’m considering fitting one but would prefer to keep the car quiet(er).

    I haven’t been able to find any clips of a Tiguan with just the downpipe installed to get an idea so keen to hear or hear your thoughts if you have

    There’s a couple of people fitted these along with a stage 2 tune. Don’t expect a whole lot of difference in terms of noise except possibly a deeper/throatier exhaust note coming from the DP section.

    What do you think of this cost saving ebay downpipe at $480, will it fit the Tiguan MK2?

    This one doesn’t have a high flow catalytic converter which is not legal except possibly on a race track.

    This is the reason it’s cheaper.

    Generally any after market cat isn't legal, you'll still fail the emissions test (IM240) - just "legal-ish" doesn't smell like a gas chamber and emits less soot/crap out the backside.

    Unless you go E85, pass with flying colours haha
