Beluga Racing Downpipe for MK6 GTI

[Santi_MK6]

Do you guys recommend this downpipe or have you had any experience with it? Im thinking about getting one because its cheap.

Get the one that uses a gasket with two bolts to secure the sections instead of the v-band clamp one which tend to more leak prone especially when they are made with looser tolerances and come with a shitty clamp. They are probably one of the better fitting ones of the "chinese downpipes." It will get the job done if you want to go to stage 2.

Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure I get that one.

Use an OEM gasket (preferably new) for the turbo flange as well since the ones they come with suck.

I have changed two of these on friends cars because they cracked at the turbo flange.
