Peugeot RCZ Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Peugeot RCZ Downpipes – Unlock the Full Potential of Your THP Turbo Engine

Peugeot RCZ performance downpipes are among the most effective modifications to increase power, enhance turbo response and transform exhaust tone. Whether you drive an RCZ 1.6 THP, RCZ GT or RCZ R, replacing the restrictive OEM downpipe with a high-flow Peugeot RCZ downpipe significantly improves performance and driving dynamics.

Why Upgrade to Performance Peugeot RCZ Downpipes?

The stock Peugeot RCZ downpipe is designed to meet emissions and noise regulations, but it restricts exhaust flow and limits turbo efficiency. Upgrading to a performance Peugeot RCZ downpipe delivers numerous benefits:

• Increased horsepower & torque – optimized exhaust flow unlocks hidden performance potential.
• Faster turbo spool – reduce lag and enjoy sharper throttle response.
• Improved exhaust sound – catted downpipes provide a refined sporty tone, while decat downpipes unleash an aggressive motorsport roar.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – better thermal efficiency protects components under load.
• Perfect for ECU tuning – essential for Stage 1, Stage 2 and hybrid turbo upgrades.

Types of Peugeot RCZ Downpipes

We offer Peugeot RCZ downpipes in various configurations to suit different setups and driving needs:

Catted Peugeot RCZ Downpipes

Catted downpipes integrate a high-flow sports catalytic converter, providing a balance between emissions compliance and performance gains. Perfect for daily-driven RCZ builds in areas requiring emissions testing.

Decat Peugeot RCZ Downpipes

Decat downpipes remove the catalytic converter entirely, maximizing exhaust flow and unlocking top-end power. Best suited for track-focused builds or regions without emissions restrictions.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

The material of your Peugeot RCZ downpipe affects performance, durability and weight:

• Stainless steel downpipes – corrosion-resistant, durable and cost-effective, ideal for most performance setups.
• Titanium downpipes – ultra-lightweight, motorsport-grade and designed for extreme temperature environments.

Peugeot RCZ Model Compatibility

Our performance Peugeot RCZ downpipes are compatible with multiple engine configurations:

• Peugeot RCZ 1.6 THP Downpipes – optimized for standard and tuned petrol engines.
• Peugeot RCZ GT Downpipes – engineered for sportier driving dynamics.
• Peugeot RCZ R Downpipes – designed for the high-output 270 HP RCZ R variant.

Performance Gains with Peugeot RCZ Downpipes

Installing a performance Peugeot RCZ downpipe results in immediate and measurable performance improvements:

• +20–35 HP from the downpipe alone.
• +40–65 HP when combined with Stage 2 ECU tuning and supporting mods.
• Improved torque delivery for stronger mid-range acceleration.
• Sharper throttle response and reduced turbo lag.

Choosing the Right Diameter

Selecting the optimal downpipe diameter ensures maximum efficiency:

• 2.5-inch downpipes – ideal for Stage 1 setups and lightly tuned RCZs.
• 3-inch downpipes – recommended for Stage 2 builds, hybrid turbos and high-boost applications.

All our Peugeot RCZ downpipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation, ensuring seamless integration with OEM and aftermarket exhaust systems.

Build Quality & Engineering

Our Peugeot RCZ performance downpipes are built to motorsport-grade standards:

• Mandrel-bent tubing ensures smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow.
• Precision TIG welding guarantees strength and leak-free durability.
• OEM-style flanges ensure perfect fitment with both stock and upgraded exhaust systems.
• Available in high-quality stainless steel or ultra-lightweight titanium.

Perfect for Tuning & Motorsport

Peugeot RCZ downpipes are the ideal upgrade for enthusiasts looking to push performance further:

• Support aggressive boost targets for Stage 2 and Stage 3 builds.
• Improve turbocharger efficiency and reduce exhaust backpressure.
• Deliver a motorsport-inspired exhaust tone, especially with decat options.
• Fully compatible with ECU remaps, upgraded intercoolers and hybrid turbo setups.

Daily Driving vs Track Builds

For daily-driven RCZ builds, catted downpipes deliver strong performance while maintaining emissions compliance. For track-oriented setups, decat downpipes maximize flow, deliver peak power and provide a raw, motorsport exhaust note.

Conclusion

Upgrading to Peugeot RCZ performance downpipes is one of the most effective ways to unlock more power, enhance turbo response and achieve a motorsport-grade exhaust sound. Whether you choose catted for balanced street usability or decat for ultimate performance, our selection guarantees premium quality, seamless fitment and proven gains for every Peugeot RCZ build.
