These Performance Downpipes are a direct bolt-on upgrade, designed to optimally eliminate unwanted restrictions in the factory downpipes, reduce turbo lag and enhance the exhaust note, while utilizing GESi 5” 400cpsi ultra high output catalytic converters. GESi’s GEN2 ultra high output (UHOX) catalytic converters were designed in conjunction with Unitronic for several 2017+ Audi and Volkswagen® applications and are rated at up to 1000HP by GESi. Paired with Unitronic Stage 2 Performance Software and other supporting bolt-ons, these Performance Downpipes help yield up to \u003cstrong\u003e470HP \/ 431LB-FT\u003c\/strong\u003e with more to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAt Unitronic, development begins with setting the objectives; performance, efficiency, aesthetics and quality. Operations start with 3D scanning the engine bays, exhaust tunnels and OEM components with it’s in-house Creaform 3D scanner. Once 3D scan data has been collected and processed, Unitronic Hardware Engineers then interact with the 3D models to identify fitment constraints, mounting locations, other component locations, etc. to ensure the final product fits perfectly within the “envelope”, while achieving the objectives and intent of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.getunitronic.com\/media\/images\/blog\/unitronic-ea888-evo4-downpipes\/mk8-gti-scan-1-of-1-.jpg\" alt=\"Unitronic 3D scanning\" width=\"600\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOne key area of development for Unitronic Engineers was the catalytic converter on these Performance Downpipes. 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 team quickly opted for a GESi 5\" UHOX converter for these Performance Downpipes, which met the requirements for the new 2.0TSI EA888 EVO4 engines, while being rated for a massive 1000HP. Paired with CFD optimized castings in the upper downpipe section, the large 5\" catalytic converter helps provides exceptional flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAs with all Unitronic products, these Performance Downpipes have gone through months of rigorous testing in a wide range of conditions on the road, track and dyno in order to ensure they meet our high standards for reliability and function. \u003cstrong\u003eWarranty Registration is REQUIRED for all products integrating GESi Catalyst(s) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.getunitronic.com\/gesi-registration\" target=\"_tab\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn order to take full advantage of these all-new Performance Downpipes, Unitronic Stage 2 ECU Software is available for the MK8 GTI, Golf R and 8Y S3.
