Unlock flow, sound and response on your Mk6 R
Upgrade your Mk6 R20 with a high quality turbo outlet front pipe that transforms throttle response and delivers a deeper, sharper tone. This free flowing stainless system from Cobra Sport replaces the restrictive factory front section and is available with a high flow catalyst or a straight through race option, giving you the choice between catted and catless setups to suit your build.
Why owners choose this front pipe
- Made from premium grade 304 stainless steel with precision TIG welding for long term durability
- 3 inch 76.2 mm tubing for significantly improved gas velocity versus the OE part
- Smooth mandrel bends designed for efficient turbo spool and a richer, more purposeful soundtrack
- Direct fit from the turbo outlet to the centre section on 2009 to 2012 5K chassis cars
- Catted option uses a high flow sports catalyst for strong performance with a more refined tone
- Decat version offers maximum flow for track use
Real performance benefits
Independent testing on the full 3 inch turbo back system with a re-map has shown gains of over 20 percent in BHP, along with a substantial reduction in mass compared to the stock exhaust. Even as a standalone front pipe upgrade, the improved flow path helps the turbo breathe, enhances drivability and sets the car up perfectly for future tuning.
Built to a motorsport standard
- Mandrel bent tubing for consistent internal diameter through every bend
- Expertly TIG welded for strength and a clean finish
- Quality hardware included for installation
