While working closely with GESi through several iterations of their G-Sport Emissions Systems Catalytic Converters over the years, our goal once again was to ensure this product would satisfy our compliance demands, while fulfilling Unitronic's performance related goals. The engineering team quickly opted for a GESi 5" UHO+ converter for this Performance Downpipe, which met the requirements for the 1.8TSI MQB EA888.3 engine, while being rated for a massive 1000HP.
Unbeatable Design and Construction

In order to meet the power demands of the 1.8TSI MQB EA888.3 engine, Unitronic designed and incorporated high quality CFD optimized castings in the upper downpipe section which are heat resistant and provide exceptional flow into the large 5" catalytic converter. Exhaust gasses continue through the OEM-style corrugated mesh flex bellow into the stainless steel midpipe section and reducer, all secured by v-band clamps and centering rings.
Sealing V-Band Design
