The Golf GTI MK7 / MK7.5 is one of the hottest hatchback you can get on the market today. In combination with an iPE Innotech Performance Exhaust system, it becomes even hotter. The iPE exhaust system is extremely durable, completely made from stainless steel, and increases performance and driving pleasure to the maximum. The unique exhaust system comes with a down pipe including a 200-cpsi sport catalyst (or optional also with cat-bypass), causing a much deeper and more aggressive, sportive sound. Our premium-class exhaust system has larger pipes in diameter and an optimized exhaust flow, leading to more performance and improved torque and response. Thanks to the Valvetronic of iPE and its 3 different modes, the Golf GTI MK7/MK7.5 is suitable for everyday use when the valves are closed; sportive and aggressive when the valves are open; and responsively dynamic when the valves automatically respond to the driving style when the auto mode is used.

Turbosmart's new Kompact Shortie Blow-Off Valve for VAG 2.0 TSI engines takes performance to the next level. These valves are a high performance replacement for the standard diverter valve fitted to the current 2.0 TSI range. Unlike the standard valve's plastic construction, they are machined from aircraft grade aluminium, and bolt straight up to the factory location, offering all the technology from Turbosmart's race-bred BOV range in an OEM-replacement package. The Dual Port offers a 50/50 split between recirculating and vent-to-atmosphere, for quiet operation at low boost, and the high performance sound associated with vent-to-atmosphere BOVs at higher boost. The Dual Port also recirculates enough air to keep the car's ECU happy. Turbosmart's Kompact Shortie does not leak, bleed boost pressure or struggle with increased boost on tuned vehicles. It also completely eliminates compressor surge, allowing the turbo to operate to its full potential, and for longer.

The Plumb Back is a 100% recirculating blow-off valve, routing all vented air back into the intake. This valve operates at a similar level of volume to the standard valve, avoiding unwanted attention. Turbosmart's Kompact Shortie does not leak, bleed boost pressure or struggle with increased boost on tuned vehicles. It also completely eliminates compressor surge, allowing the Golf's turbo to operate to its full potential, and for longer.

The Kompact EM series combines world leading electronics and 20 years of blow off valve technology together to provide rapid response.

• Plug and play compatability
• 400% stronger than the OE Diverter Valve
• Designed to handle boost pressure up to 30PSI
• Ideal for lightly modified vehicles

When you begin modifying your VW MK7/Audi MK3 Golf R, GTI, A3, or S3 it will become necessary to upgrade the intercooler. Once upgrades such as ECU tuning, exhaust systems, and turbo upgrades are introduced, intake air temperatures begin to rise, resulting in massive power loss.

The IE Catted Cast Downpipe for VW & Audi MQB incorporates the best of all worlds. Cast bend sections enable the highest flow and best fitment possible. Impressive performance gains will be realized when used with an IE stage 2 ECU tune. Lastly, the aggressive sound from an unrestricted exhaust system is guaranteed to be music to your ears. Product Features • Proven performance gains • 76mm (3 inch) tubing replaces restrictive 60mm factory tubing • Bolt on fitment - no hassle or poorly fitting parts when you choose IE • Constructed of 304 stainless piping - long-lasting and high-quality material • Thick turbo flange - prevents leaks and warping • High flow 200 cell catalytic converter - full power with reduced pollution and smell • Metal matrix catalytic structure - • OEM style flex section - allows for more adjustment and won’t fail • All inclusive kit - downpipe, mid pipes, all hardware • TIG welded construction - equates to long-lasting welds that are less likely to fail • Install instructions - available by CLICKING HERE MQB PERFORMANCE DOWNPIPE OVERVIEW When upgrading your VW MK7 or Audi 8V A3 to stage 2 software you will also need to reduce the back pressure caused by the small diameter stock pipe. With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains be achieved. Turbo lag should also be reduced as an added benefit. IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location. Manufactured from 304 stainless offers a life-long product that brings performance and fun to the table for years to come. POWER GAINS The most power gains will be achieved when the IE Downpipe is paired with IE matching software, air intake, and FDS intercooler. SOUND TUNING An aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe. This should be music to your ears! Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality. HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced. DIRECT BOLT-ON WITH PERFECT FITMENT The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Sturdy fabricated mounts and precise engineering result in a rattle free and long last replacement exhaust system. 3D scanning systems were employed to ensure perfect placement both in pre and post-production phases.
