42 Draft Designs VW Mk7 TSI Street Series 3 Downpipe
Headers
Due to the undeveloped nature of the Mk7 platform, additional fitments cannot be added until new models are released in the US and tested by 42 Draft Designs. Please do not order this downpipe to "test fit" on a similar vehicle without first contacting 42 Draft Designs for approval.
We tested our GTI on our local dyno. At the time of testing the car was equipped ONLY with APR stage 1 software. Power runs with the stock downpipe were conducted to roughly match APR's numbers for our 93 octane file. After completing multiple runs with our 3" street series downpipe we measured peak gains of 18hp and 17ft-lbs at the wheels! Top-end gains were incredible. The car struggled to reach full RPM with the OEM downpipe but ripped all the way to 7100 with the downpipe installed.
42 Draft Designs downpipes are manufactured from scratch in Millersville, MD. We use high quality American made materials throughout our exhaust systems, manufacturing in-house every component possible. When necessary to outsource, we start with American companies who manufacture their products in the USA. Our 7000 sq/ft facility is staffed by a team of 13 machinists, metal fabricators and TIG welders trained to work in exacting precision.
By moving the catalytic converter downstream we dramatically improve the flow of the exhaust as it exits the turbocharger. In order to do this we also have to move the second oxygen sensor well beyond the reach of the wire and electrical connector. To solve this problem we created a plug & play male-female oxygen sensor wire extension that we include with EVERY downpipe. This extension uses OEM connectors and silicone high-temperature sleeving for a perfect fit!
