 Description

42's 2.5" and 3" cat-backs begin where their 3" downpipe ends. A CNC machined flange attaches to the final downpipe flange with locking hardware and a double layer graphite gasket. After the flange a set of hangers slide into the factory hanger bushings and supports the piping as it bends into a Magnaflow muffler supported by an additional hanger. After the muffler a short bend ends at another CNC machined flange. This flange connection is adjustable allowing precise fitment of the tips. Piping leaves the flanges and routes neatly under the rear suspension. A precisely fabricated merge splits the piping into two without disrupting flow. Hung neatly in the factory exhaust cutout sits a pair of high polished stainless steel tips. The sound is sporty and refined - not too loud and not a hint of rasp.

42's exhaust tips are built and polished in-house. 42's cat-backs are available with the choice of single wall or double wall tips. Single wall tips are constructed from a single 3" tube. Each tip is angle cut and welded to a press-formed expansion then polished to a mirror finish outside and shined-up inside. Double wall tips are constructed from two tubes - an inner barrel and an outer barrel. In either construction our tips are offset to follow the contours of the mk5 rear bumper.

Installation: A permanent flange allows the system to bolt to a 42 Daft Designs 3" downpipe. Precise design and fabrication routes piping clear of heatshields. Adjustable flanges allow further adjustment if necessary, sealed by double layer graphite gaskets and locking hardware. A pair of collars allow the rear hanger to be locked in place. This means your tips will never slide.

Fitment Details

  • Fits 2006-2009 VW Mk5 2.0T FSI/TSI GTI & Jetta
  • Bolts to a 42 Draft Designs 3" downpipe using included hardware

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
 

These MK5 2.5" & 3" cat-back systems are specifically designed:

  • to bolt-up to 42's FSI/TSI 3" downpipes
  • as the rear portion of 42's FSI 2.5" & 3" turbo-backs
  • to be custom fit to a 3" FSI/TSI downpipe
  • to be used on heavily modified vehicles

These MK5 2.5" & 3" cat-back systems are NOT designed:

  • to connect to a stock FSI/TSI downpipe
  • to connect to a stock 2.5L downpipe
  • to fit any vehicle other than a MK5 FWD chassis
  • to provide huge gains on a stock motor

Fitment to 42's FSI/TSI 3" downpipes or as part of their turbo-back systems is as easy as described. Fitment to a 3" downpipe not built by 42 requires welding of a3" flange to the existing 3" downpipe at the correct location, angle, and rotation. Proper fitment of this flanged 2.5" or 3" cat-back in custom applications is the responsibility of the owner. Fitment of this 2.5" or 3" cat-back to any stock downpipe or downpipe under 2.5" or 3" in diameter respectively is not recommended by Avenue Autosport or the manufacturer and cannot be supported.

Avenue Autosport does offer full turbo-back exhaust, we offer systems for the FSI/TSI which combine these cat-backs with and 3" downpipes.

If you need a bolt-on fit, check out the 42 Draft Designs slip fit cat-back!
Power Gains
Power gains cannot be definitively stated for this system. Every single installation is different. Power gains related to this system depend entirely on what's in front of it. FSI/TSI engines with complimenting mods and a 3" downpipe will see typical 3" turbo-back gains. An FSI with a GT30 turbo and a 3" downpipe is going to see maximum power at whatever boost level their motor can support.

 

Please allow 10-20 business days for this product to ship. 42's downpipes are built in-house and their fabrication staff is occasionally backed up.

If you choose to add the ceramic coating option, please allow an additional two weeks for shipment from the time order is placed.
