The Palenon Performance 3.5″ Stainless Steel Race Downpipe is engineered for the EVO4 AWD MK8 Golf R and Audi 8Y S3, delivering a significant upgrade over the restrictive factory unit. The stock downpipe limits exhaust flow, which can hinder horsepower—especially after ECU tuning.

By eliminating exhaust bottlenecks, Our Audi 8Y S3 Downpipe & VW MK8 Golf R Downpipe unleash hidden performance potential while enhancing the engine note—making it ideal for enthusiasts looking to extract more power and performance from MK8 Golf R or Audi S3 8Y.

• Improved Exhaust Note: Enhance your vehicle’s sound with a more aggressive and refined exhaust tone.
• Performance Gains: Expect gains up to 60 WHP and 105 WTQ with a proper tune, especially with the stock turbocharger.

Palenon Performance racing-grade downpipes are expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, using precise and standardized bending techniques to ensure optimal performance and thrilling exhaust note. Our downpipe pricing is U.S. market guaranteed. With an unwavering commitment to both price and quality, we adhere to a "customer-first" standard, ensuring that our products exceed expectations without compromise.

Construction & Design

• Material: Made from TIG-welded T304 grade stainless steel for durability and longevity.
• Single-Piece Design: A solid-unit construction eliminates common issues associated with multi-piece downpipes.
• Precision Fitment: Laser-cut mounting brackets and CNC-machined prongs ensure a perfect fit with your stock mounting points.
• Connection Options: Featuring a CNC-machined V-band system for a secure, leak-free connection, this assembly includes a 3.5″ cast downpipe flange, mandrel-bent 3″ stainless steel tubing, and utilizes factory mounting locations for a precise and reliable fit.
  
• Resonator: Features a 4" straight-through resonator to enhance exhaust sound without obstructing flow. For a catted version, a 200 Cell High-Flow Catalyst is available as an alternative.
• Flex Section: Incorporates a stainless steel flex section to reduce turbocharger stress during acceleration, cornering, and braking.

Cel Delete Kit / Cel Eliminator / O2 Sensor Spacer

The installation of catless downpipes will result in an inevitable check engine light (CEL) as the DME will detect that emissions are not being burnt up by the OEM catalyst. To remove this CEL without having to tune it out we offer the CEL Delete Kit which is comprised of O2 sensor spacers specifically calibrated to comply with BMW's parameters for a functioning catalyst. These install into the post-catalyst O2 sensor bungs, effectively removing the CEL that would otherwise appear.
