I won't do this mod if I need to keep swapping dp back and forth. I know the cats on most downpipe are of low quality. Thanks
any aftermarket downpipe with a euro 6 rated cat should pass an emissions test.
APR stage 2 "non test pipe" file and AWE down pipe.
Hey- good comment, but I really think this warrants some further discussion.... modding a car is never an investment- it is only an expense, however...
I know that many of us are in these cars for only a couple of years, but there's some of us who want to keep driving the car for around a decade or even more. Even though an etest could be 5 or more years away, a downpipe is going to be seen as an investment in the car... and a used downpipe known to fail emissions will be no good to sell to anyone else in Ontario in a few years time. A CEL means failed e-test. Flashing to stage 2 to fix the CEL will result in a failed etest due to a sensor not showing as ready once scanned....
With that in mind, I think there's a few of us wondering "Which specific downpipe, or even which combo of products, should I invest in if I were wanting to pass today's emissions test?"
Where are you from? That will not pass in NY and several other states.wrong.
i have a few friends with mk4 1.8ts’ with maestro. they have multiple emissions devices set to “ not available” and pass w/o issues.
last one to passwas this february.

the person/place that ran the test are not known at all to friend, he went to a place, they ran the test, he is a random dude to them.That is a bit misleading.
In Ontario a "not ready" status will be a fail on the OBD test. It will not automatically trigger a fail for the scan portion if the status is "ready" or "not applicable". However, the tech would (should) fail the car if they look for altered emissions equipment (e.g. aftermarket / deleted cat or O2 sensors). The "not applicable" status for an O2 sensor is a red flag on any newer car.
So your friends have a tune that changes the sensor status to "not applicable" and a shop that looks the other way. Not everyone will be in that situation.
