VW Golf GTI (Mk7.5) 2.0 TSI (5G) (2017-20) Sports Cat / De-Cat Front Downpipe Performance Exhaust

Unlock the sound and flow your Golf 7.5 GTI deserves. This turbo down pipe upgrade replaces the front section from the turbocharger outlet to the factory centre pipe on the Volkswagen Golf GTI facelift (2017 to 2020) 2.0 turbo petrol, 5G chassis. Choose between a high-flow sports catalyst option or a catless front pipe for track and off-road use.

Compatibility
- Suits facelift GTI models without GPF/OPF only (pre-GPF cars).
- Not suitable for later GPF-equipped vehicles.
- Connects to the original mid-section/back box only (fits to O/E cat-back).

Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade
- Bigger 3 inch / 76.2 mm tubing for freer exhaust gas flow from the turbo.
- Sharper throttle response and a deeper, sportier tone under load.
- Precision-built by Cobra Sport for quality, reliability and an OEM-plus fit.

Two configurations to suit your build
- High-flow sports catalyst: Improved flow while retaining a catalytic converter. Replaces a factory emissions component and is not EC homologated. This may not meet current emission laws for road use in your territory.
- Catless/decat front pipe: For motorsport and off-road use only worldwide. Maximum flow and raw sound.

Fitment details
- Pipe size: 3 inch / 76.2 mm throughout.
- Position: From turbo to the standard centre section (turbo outlet/front pipe).
- Designed to mate to the OEM cat-back only.

What’s included
- All relevant fittings and gaskets are supplied (except turbo clamp).
