Cobra Sport Turbo Downpipe / Front Pipe for VW Golf R Mk8 8R (2021+) 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4 OPF/GPF (PPF) | 200-Cell High-Flow Sports Cat or Decat Catless Race Pipe | MQB Evo 4Motion Performance Exhaust, Stage 2 Tuning Ready

Upgrade the breathing of your 2021 onwards Golf 8 R 2.0 turbo with a high flow front pipe that transforms response and soundtrack. This premium Cobra Sport front section is available in two configurations - a 200-cell sports catalyst or a race-only cat delete - and is engineered specifically for OPF and GPF equipped models to unlock tuning potential from the EA888 engine.

Choose the 200-cell sports cat option for fast road and track with improved gas speed and a purposeful tone, thanks to a large 4.5 inch 114.3 mm high flow metallic catalyst. Prefer a track-special setup for maximum flow and minimum restriction? The decat option is for motorsport use only and ideal for those chasing ultimate performance on closed-course events.

We have fitted these systems for customers and in our own builds and the feedback is consistently positive - excellent fitment, a richer exhaust note and noticeably freer revving under load. Cobra Sport’s commitment to quality means a confidence-inspiring finish that stands up to hard use, and their performance exhaust range is fully guaranteed.
