Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat for Volkswagen Beetle 2.0 TSI (A5 Chassis) (2011-2015) – Improved Flow, Sports Catalyst
This is Milltek's large-bore downpipe with hi-flow sports cat for the Volkswagen Golf Mk6 GTi Edition 35. It replaces the restrictive factory downpipe with a larger-bore pipe fitted with a high-flow sports catalyst in place of the standard unit, using a less dense substrate that flows significantly better than the factory cat while still treating the exhaust gases passing through it.
It sits between a stock downpipe and a full de-cat: a genuine flow gain suited to a Stage 1 or Stage 2 remap, without giving up the catalyst entirely the way a de-cat pipe does.
In the UK, a replacement catalyst on a car first registered from 1 March 2001 needs ECE R103 type-approval to be road legal, so check the EC Approved line in the specification for the version you choose.

Will it fit the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 GTi 2.0T FSI?
Yes. Milltek lists this part for the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 GTi 2.0T FSI as well as the other models in the fitment list above.
Is it road legal?
Milltek lists this as a race part without EC approval, so it is intended for off-road and competition use.
Do I need a remap?
Yes. Milltek notes: "Must be fitted with the Milltek Sport 3-inch Race cat-back systems and requires a Stage 2 ECU remap". Without suitable software the engine management is likely to log faults.
How is a sports cat different from a de-cat?
A sports cat still contains a catalyst, just a less dense one that flows better than the factory unit. A de-cat removes the catalyst completely.
What is it made from?
T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration better than lower grades.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Milltek products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us with your order number if you have a problem.
