SSXVW348 Cat-Delete Front Pipe for MQB AWD 2.0 TSI Platforms

Unlock serious track performance with this motorsport-only catalyst delete front section designed for the MQB 2.0 TSI quattro and 4Motion cars. Engineered to connect to the original rear exhaust on all-wheel drive models, this large 76.2 mm tube diameter upgrade frees up flow for sharper response and an aggressive turbocharged soundtrack. Part number: SSXVW348.

We have fitted and used this set-up on our own cars and customer builds, and it delivers exactly what keen drivers want on circuit days: rapid turbo spool, reduced restriction and a purposeful tone that complements the factory rear silencer. Fit and finish are excellent, and compatibility with the standard back box keeps installation straightforward.
