VW Golf R (Mk6) 2.0 TSI (5K) (09-12) Sports Cat / De-Cat Front Downpipe Performance Exhaust

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
