Heres a pic of the downpipe to have a look at - the upper one is the polo, The lower a MKV GTI Golf (2.0T).
You can see the primary & secondary cats stacked in the polo, where the golf runs the primary right next to the turbocharger & the secondary 2 feet away. You can see the golf runs much larger cats as well.
Then I pulled one of ours out with the Euro emissions 4 cat on it for comparison & you can see the difference (our system uses flanged joints).
I also worked out our down pipe is 2.9kg's lighter - now that's got to be worth something

There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Please keep us updated when these will be ready. I am thinking of doing the APR chip and downpie all in one go. I live in Sydney so I would imagine that it would take a few days for them to get the downpipe from Brisbane once it becomes available.

I'd suggest, seeing Guy has indicated he'll mfr these is batches of 6, that you place an order with your local APR dealer, and then you can be assured of it all being available.2015 White German SUV

I'd suggest doing it all at once is a bit of a waste ef enjoying each upgrade....
IMO I think doing the chip and downpipe seprately will allow you to appreciate the power gains individually .....
Doing too much at once seem to blur the benefits together and you don't get that feel good factor as much. There is nothing like doing a bit and then feeling good about the gains. It tends to wear off quite quickly so the next 1 may only be a few weeks down the track anyway.
Also want to know if the price includes fitment though ....Current: 2023 MY23 T-Roc R Lapiz Blue + Beats Audio + Black pack 2018 MY19 Golf R manual Lapiz Blue + DAP) 2018 MY18 Golf 110TSI (150TSI) Trendline manual White2014 Amarok TSI Red (tuned over 200kw + lots of extras) 2013 Up! manual Red 2017 Polo GTI manual Black Previous VWs and some others ...
