EA211 MQB 1.4 TSI & 1.2 TSI Stainless Steel Decat Downpipe | VW Golf Mk7, Audi A3 8V, Seat Leon Mk3 – Midnight Performance

Midnight Performance EA211 MQB 1.4 TSI & 1.2 TSI Stainless Steel Decat Downpipe

Unlock the full tuning potential of your EA211 MQB engine. This precision-engineered T304 stainless decat downpipe eliminates the factory catalytic converter — slashing backpressure directly behind the turbocharger for faster spool-up, sharper throttle response, and a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note. The essential first step for any Stage 2 or Stage 3 ECU calibration on the MQB platform.

🚫 For off-road and track use only — not road legal in the UK.

Key Features

• T304 stainless steel — corrosion-resistant, built for the long haul
• Mandrel-bent piping — smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow from turbo to cat-back
• Straight-through decat design — zero catalyst restriction for maximum flow
• Direct bolt-on fitment — no modification required for EA211 MQB vehicles
• Compatible with both RHD and LHD vehicles — fits all markets
• Integrated O2 sensor boss — clean sensor fitment, no relocation needed
• Stage 2 remap recommended — maximise gains and clear any engine management lights
• TIG welded construction — strong, gas-tight joints throughout
