It is offered as a catless race pipe or with a 200-cell high-flow catalytic converter, both in brushed stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory downpipe holds a dense converter right after the turbo, and that restriction limits how quickly the turbo spools and how much boost it can hold. Replacing it lowers back pressure, and VRSF measures 20 to 25 hp with a tune. The exhaust note also gets deeper. The catted version keeps a high-flow converter for less smell and a more moderate sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe downpipe is mandrel bent from 304 stainless steel and TIG welded with smooth radius bends, and the flanges are precision CNC machined from 304 stainless for proper fitment every time. VRSF also offers Cerakote thermal barrier coating on its downpipes, rated to 1,800 F, to help keep heat out of the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatless race or 200-cell high-flow catted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMandrel-bent 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision CNC 304 stainless flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth radius bends for better flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-25 hp with a tune (VRSF figures)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVRSF X4 M40i downpipe (race or catted)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRequired Parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn engine tune is needed to run either version without fault codes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 4in turbo-to-downpipe V-band clamp is an optional add-on above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart numbers: 10262010 (race), 10262011 (high-flow catted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: VRSF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 304 stainless steel, TIG-welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalyst: none (race) or 200-cell high flow (catted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping dimensions: 16 x 7 x 6 in (41 x 18 x 15 cm) for the race version; 18 x 8 x 7 in (46 x 20 x 18 cm) for the catted version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping weight: 6 lb (2.7 kg) for the race version; 12 lb (5.4 kg) for the catted version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease enter your year and model at checkout so we can confirm fitment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty on the race downpipe; 1-year warranty on the catted converter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace downpipes remove the catalytic converters and are sold for off-road and competition use only.
