Mabotech 3.5" Shielded Downpipe
A closer look at the hardware for your DAZA/DNWA 2.5 TFSI build. Mabotech combines a 3.5" downpipe design, heat shielding and TIG-welded stainless steel construction to improve exhaust flow and turbo response.
Details up close
What it is designed to improve
- Reduced exhaust backpressure and improved flow.
- Quicker turbo response and earlier spool.
- A more pronounced five-cylinder exhaust sound.
- Lower exhaust-gas temperatures and pressure for more consistent output.
Horsepower & tuning
Power gains depend on the complete setup. Mabotech's product page does not list a specific HP/WHP increase or a product-specific dyno chart for this downpipe.
Results depend on the turbo, ECU calibration, fuel and supporting hardware. A tuned or big-turbo build's total gain should not be attributed to the downpipe alone. Talk to Hampton Tuning about your setup and tuning requirements.
Fitment & installation
Application: DAZA/DNWA 2.5 TFSI. For an RS3 or TT-RS, confirm your model year, engine code, turbo and exhaust configuration before ordering.
Professional installation required. Mabotech advises that adjustments may be needed for proper fitment with either a factory or aftermarket exhaust system.
Manufacturer part number: MBTDPA4MK-1. View Mabotech's product information.
