Fitment and compatibility

• Replaces factory emissions components at the turbo outlet
• Ideal foundation for Stage 2 style calibrations and supporting hardware

Important usage notes

• The de-cat version is for motorsport and off-road use only worldwide
• The sports catalyst version replaces original emissions equipment and is not EC homologated. Road legality varies by region
• This system removes the PPF/GPF. Engine tuning is required at installation to prevent the EML check engine light
• Fitment is for off-road and competition use where legislation permits
