Built on the same precision tooling as 42s Mk4 1.8T 3" Downpipes, their Value Line 3" Downpipes take a clear-cut approach. Welded permanently with a stock size adaptor, these downpipes deliver equal results at a dramatically lower price.

Why build the same downpipe with fewer features? Some enthusiasts simply don't need modular adaptor options. 42s years of experience has shown that their modular design is ideal, however can be confusing for those seeking simplicity. Value line downpipes are available in street and race configurations reduced to fit the stock band clamp.

Like any 42 exhaust system, Value Line systems are fabricated with precision and TIG welded to ensure maximum quality. Each Value Line downpipe starts with a CNC machined turbo flange and press-formed transition. Mandrel bent 3" piping routes exhaust under the car where a stainless steel flex section is used to absorb engine movement. After the flex section, 3" piping connects to a final reducer. This reducer allows fitment to any cat-back exhaust - stock or aftermarket. Street series feature a 3" high-flow cat, permanently welded in-place. Both series feature a pair of oxygen sensor bungs positioned for honest fitment.

At any price point, a 3" downpipe is a worthwhile upgrade for the 1.8T engine. Since the 1.8T first hit the streets, performance shops and enthusiasts have proven that downpipe upgrades provide healthy power gains. Equipped with a very restrictive factory downpipe and catalytic converter, the 1.8T instantly benefits from a reduction in backpressure. These 3" downpipes increase turbo response, horsepower, and torque.

Value Line Mk4 1.8T 3" downpipes are available in street or race series. Street series downpipes include a Magnaflow high-flow catalytic converter. All downpipes feature a permanent reduction to fit the stock exhaust band clamp. All configurations can be purchased ceramic coated for additional corrosion protection.
