  The factory MQB Gen3 plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.  At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our in house designed and engineered High Flow Intercooler Pipe Kit! Each kit comes standard with mandrel bent, bead rolled, powdercoated aluminum plumbing from the turbocharge to the throttle body, smooth flowing silicone couplers, stainless steel T-Bolt clamps and all installation accessories for an easy, direct bolt on installation.  The factory turbocharger outlet pipe has serious restriction right out of the compressor outlet due to small diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We improved on this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the turbo outlet which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger, 60mm (~2 3/8") tubing diameter intercooler pipes. The upper intercooler pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded mounting flange for the CNC-bent aluminum mounting bracket to allow for OE-like fitment. The lower intercooler pipe features a smooth transition into the silicone intercooler coupler for optimized flow.  Furthermore, the factory intercooler outlet pipe leaves room for improvement with its smaller diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We improved on this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the intercooler outlet which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger, 70mm (~2 3/4") tubing diameter throttle body pipe.

    ECS Tuning has the set the bar once again. After years of Research & Development and stringent product testing by our in house engineers, we are proud to release the best engineered Transmission Mount on the market! Designed and manufactured in the USA using the finest quality materials, we have designed a Performance Transmission Mount that controls fore/aft engine & transmission movement and allows for seamless power transfer to the tires. Wheel hop is eliminated, throttle response is improved and gear engagement is more precise. More than just an insert, our ECS transmission mount is a full unit replacement that upgrades the bushings to polyurethane and metal to strong, yet lightweight, billet aluminum for the ultimate in drivetrain control.  Locking the transmission in place is accomplished through two vertically captured 70A Durometer Polyurethane Bushings, encapsulated between three black anodized, 6061-T6 Billet Machined Aluminum bodies using a zinc-plated, high strength securing bolt.  Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) are minimized over our competitors due to years of product testing and development. Designed to absorb NVH while withstanding extreme driveline forces, we've engineered our bushings using an optimal formula and durometer polyurethane, tuning the natural frequency and preload to the forcing frequency of the engine.  This allows for smooth power delivery through the driveline and to the tires, all with very minimal chassis feedback to balance comfort with performance.   A powder-coated bent sheet metal bracket properly supports the factory battery tray, along with all new OEM torque-to-yield fasteners for a complete, ready to install package. Simply follow our helpful Installation PDF for installation notes and torque specifications.    **Please note that, while our design far exceeds the competition, the inherent nature of driveline feedback is transmitted through the gearbox, resulting in added NVH through the chassis of the vehicle** **Please note: Do not expose polyurethane bushings to engine coolant. Ethylene Glycol is known to degrade this material. If exposed promptly wipe away ALL traces of engine coolant.**  This Part Fits the Following Vehicles Make Model Submodel Engine Audi 8V S3 Quattro 2.0T Audi A3 8V FWD 1.8T Audi A3 8V FWD 2.0T Audi A3 8V Quattro 2.0T Audi A3 8V FWD TDI Volkswagen Alltrack All 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Sportwagen 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Hatchback TDI Volkswagen Golf VII Sportwagen TDI Volkswagen Golf VII Facelift FWD 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII Facelift FWD 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII R 4Motion 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII R Facelift 4Motion 2.0T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII SportWagen Facelift 4Motion 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Golf VII SportWagen Facelift FWD 1.8T Gen3 Volkswagen Jetta VII GLI 2.0T Gen3 *The above product applications have been written by ECS Tuning.

Change the tone of your B9 S4 3.0T exhaust with an easy-to-install upgrade from ECS Tuning! The ECS Tuning Center X-Pipe installs in place of the resonator located in the middle of the factory exhaust system to increase exhaust note and allow for better flow of exhaust gases.  Weighing in at 11.7 pounds, our X-Pipe also shaves off 4.6 pounds from the OEM center resonator! The engineers at ECS Tuning have designed a direct fit dual exhaust pipe featuring an X cross section in the center to balance exhaust pulses and increase expulsion of spent exhaust gases from the engine. But more importantly, installation of the Center X-Pipe increases the factory exhaust note giving a more tuned European sound. The ECS X-pipe is fully CNC mandrel bent from high quality 304L stainless steel, tig welded with smooth merged pipe joints for optimal flow, and finished off with a soft brushed finish for exceptional looks. Installation is a breeze and can be easily performed with the vehicle lifted on proper jack stands in your own driveway. Our in-depth installation PDF, located under the Installation Tab, walks you through everything from proper measurement, cutting, and install to ensure a perfect fit to your OEM exhaust.
