Cherry Tuning & Performance
High-Performance Heat-Wrapped Downpipe - 1.6T Gamma
Cat Converter
Newly Redesigned!
Key features in the redesign:
- Two-Piece Design for easier installation and cheaper shipping
- Fully heat-wrap insulated with welded on heat shielding
- Factory Sensor locations
- Larger cat body for higher flow
- Improved design for collector and cat inlet for smoother exhaust path
If you're looking to get the most out of your turbocharged car, it's common knowledge that replacing the downpipe (aka. dump pipe) is one of the first places you should look. Factory downpipes are usually made to fit within packaging and emissions constraints and are a good place to start when seeking extra power.
Our newly redesigned downpipe is available either cat-less or with a high-flow 100-cell Catalytic Converter. We no longer supply nor recommend using a secondary sensor spacer, as many of the later model cars have issues with fuel trim corrections when the downstream sensor is not receiving full flow. Please note, however, that if you don't get your car tuned, and don't run an O2 spacer for the second sensor, this downpipe will almost definitely throw a P0420 catalyst code.
The revised design bolts directly to the turbo, mimicking the factory two-piece downpipe however ever part of the flow path through the new downpipe is a drastic upgrade compared to stock. Thanks to a factory-sized outlet flange, this downpipe will happily mate up to any mid-pipe options, as all mid-pipes are ultimately designed to work primarily with the factory downpipe.
In our experience these downpipes have shown a peak power increase of as much as 10-15HP even without a tune, and obviously much more power is available when your car is tuned.
Regarding the cat-less option, externally they appear the same as the catted versions, giving the illusion of a cat still being installed, however the internals of the cat body are hollow. Cat-less downpipes are suitable for cars with a mid-pipe cat still installed or for off-road use.

Customer Reviews
This fit up better than my exhust did. But an improvement found be around the flange area for mounding small indents around the bolting up area would make it alot easier too bolt up. I struggled with the top bolt because the area was too tight even with tye sub frame dropped
I installed this 3 days ago, and let me tell you its not easy if you one man alone, lol but in the end i have managed to take out the CAT and installed the Cherry 3inch DP and it was slightly easier putting it in then taking out ha ha.
The car coupled with the Xforce catback sounds rowdy, and i think it will sound a little deeper once the carbon starts going through.
Overall great quality DP went with the 3inch cause why not, and still waiting for my stg2 map which will transform this into some good usable power.
Car sounds so much more rowdy now recommend if you have 3inch cat back exhaust get 3inch down pipe either catted or not sounds amazing either way

Recently just got this downpipe from cherry with the 100 cell and 3 in flange and it sounds and feels amazing, the car accelerate much quicker and faster, the tone of the car didn't change much expect being a little bit more louder but while driving the car, you could definitely hear the difference. I paired this up with my xforce exhaust and did seem to have an issue with it meeting up correctly but other than that, it fit perfectly with the car, I would definitely invest in this to make more power
I recently purchased the Cherry downpipe. More than impressed at how it looked in the box. Even more impressed with it once out of the box. Now on the car 👨🍳 😘
I spent some $$ on a GReddy exhaust from the USA and paired the two up together. Unbelievable note to the exhaust. Cherry have hit it out of the park, with this part.
