Ultimate Racing 3" Downpipe | 2015-2021 VW Golf GTI MK7 (90012)
Ultimate Racing*SEE DETAILS
Mk7 GTI 3" Downpipe by Ultimate Racing
Top section available with ceramic or metal high flow cats. Ceramic option features a 3-inch, 400 cell count, ceramic core high flow cat to replace the restrictive OEM catalytic converter. Recommended to those that want flow improvements over the OEM cat without breaking the bank. The metal option features a 3-inch, 200 cell count, metal substrate high flow cat. Recommended to those seeking the absolute most horsepower possible. Especially those that run aggressive tunes.
Bottom section is available as a through, free flowing pipe, or an optional resonator can be requested. The resonator option smooths the tone of the exhaust and aids in the removal of in-cabin resonance, which can occur in some vehicles. Great for cars with aftermarket exhausts that are a touch too loud.
Other options for this kit include: a 3-inch to 3-inch adapter (in place of the standard slip-fit adapter which can cause bottlenecking); an additional O2 sensor bung (for isntalling a future wideband sensor); and an O2 sensor extender (to prevent CEL).

Customer Reviews
Its a great product but i would think it would come with some exhaust gaskets for the flanges
The sounds with the added resonator is amazing. I’m running a muffler delete with the added resonator along side the factory resonator. It gives a nice tone wile cruising and around town but when you open it up she screams. It’s a great sound that comes out the tail end. Only problem I had was the 2 bolt flange gaskets provided. They did not seal no matter what I did. I needed up buying a 3rd party gasket to fix the problem. And then once you upgrade to the stage 2 software these cars come alive. The bluing the 90 will receive after some hard driving makes this DP look even better.
I recently installed this down pipe with my xforce catback. I absolutly love the tone and performance it has. The sound alone is enough to make the purchase worth it but the performance it unlocks is amazing as well. It isnt too loud while cruising but once I open it up it sounds amazing.
Mk7 gti pp autobahn dsg
I’m stg 2 Unitronic with their intercooler and stg 2 dsg tune.
Cobb intake and catback.
Decided on Ultimate Racing downpipe because of their ceramic 400 cell chi-flo cat with resonator, wanted to keep things “ quiet “.
It didn’t match my Cobb catback but if you buy UR’s optional adapter AND your speed shop has a good exhaust tech, with some cutting and welding it will work. Thus my 4 star rating, I feel we shouldn’t have to hope that it will fit and work, a clear comment or clarification should be available to the general public about the fitment with “ slip on” systems.
Nevertheless it works as expected and fit so far has been great. It’s not too obnoxious with the Cobb catback but I’m still going to add more resonators along the exhaust.
Car loves a hi-flowing downpipe, get one!!
downpipe fit perfect and sounds amazing with the stock catback.. no droning issue, planning on doing the catback they offer in the future. did the catless option with no res.
