Description
Downpipe for Audi TT 2012 MK2 Coupé/Roadster 1.8 TFSI (160 Hp) | 2007 < 2014
Downpipe without catalytic converter – 76mm diameter | AUDI TT 2012
Our downpipe without catalytic converter for the Audi TT MK2 2012 Coupé/Roadster 1.8 TFSI (160 Hp) is meticulously engineered to enhance your vehicle’s performance and driving experience. This component is crafted entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel and assembled using TIG welding techniques, ensuring both durability and superior quality.
What is a Downpipe?
A downpipe is a crucial segment of the exhaust system, connecting the turbocharger to the rest of the exhaust assembly. Often referred to as the turbine pipe, it plays a significant role in managing exhaust gases immediately as they exit the engine, thereby influencing overall engine performance. In standard exhaust systems, this section typically includes catalytic converters and particulate filters designed to reduce emissions, which can inadvertently restrict exhaust flow.
Advantages of Our Downpipe for the Audi TT 2012 (2007 < 2014)
Our design eliminates the secondary catalytic converter found in the original system, significantly reducing backpressure. This modification allows the engine to breathe more freely, resulting in:
- Enhanced overall performance: Improved horsepower and torque across all RPM ranges.
- Better fuel efficiency: Optimised exhaust flow leads to more efficient combustion.
- Reduced maintenance needs: Lower risk of clogging compared to traditional catalytic converters.
- Improved thermal efficiency: Efficient heat dissipation contributes to engine longevity.

Impact of diameter and wall thickness
The increased diameter over the stock exhaust of the Audi TT 2012 allows for optimal exhaust gas flow, while the reduced wall thickness of 1.2 millimetres—common in racing applications—helps decrease the downpipe’s weight, thereby slightly improving torque.
Why choose AISI 304 stainless steel?
We utilise AISI 304 stainless steel due to its exceptional heat resistance, corrosion resistance, durability, and versatility. Our extensive experience with various materials, including titanium and superalloys, has demonstrated the superior qualities of this steel in automotive applications.
TIG Welding for superior quality
Our exhaust systems are assembled using TIG welding, a precise and robust method that ensures both strength and a high-quality finish. This technique results in exhaust components that are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing.
Plug & Play installation
Designed for seamless integration, our downpipe requires no modifications to your Audi TT 2012 MK2’s original exhaust system. All necessary fittings and mounts are included, allowing for the reuse of existing gaskets and bolts. Additionally, provisions for all original sensors, such as the oxygen (lambda) sensor, are incorporated to ensure compatibility.
Important Consideration
Please note that replacing the original downpipe with this high-performance component necessitates adjustments to the electronic management system to prevent potential issues, such as triggering the Check Engine Light (CEL).
Compatibility of our AUDI TT 2012 Downpipe
While this specific downpipe is tailored for the 2012 Audi TT MK2 1.8 TFSI, it is compatible with models produced between 2007 and 2014.
Craftsmanship and Heritage
All our products are designed and manufactured in-house, embodying the finest Italian artisanal traditions. This approach ensures meticulous attention to detail and superior quality in every component.
