Overview
The EA888 Gen3 factory Downpipe includes a pre-catalyst that restricts exhaust flow from the IS38 or IS20 turbocharger. This catless Downpipe removes that restriction — directly improving turbo spool, reducing exhaust back pressure, and providing the exhaust path needed for serious tuned EA888 Gen3 builds.
- Removes the primary restriction in the factory post-turbo exhaust path
- Improved turbo spool — the turbo recovers and builds pressure faster
- More defined exhaust tone under load
- Stainless Steel construction for longevity
Engineering Focus
SS304 Stainless Steel, sized to replace the factory pre-cat section. Designed for direct replacement on EA888 Gen3 applications running the IS38 turbocharger.
Driving Experience
A catless Downpipe is the clearest sign a build has moved past stock thinking — every gram of post-turbo restriction gone, replaced with nothing but free-flowing stainless. On the EA888 Gen3, that means the turbo spools sooner and the exhaust note loses its factory-filtered edge. It's a road-and-track piece, not a daily-comfort one — pair it with a tune to get the most from it.
