Renault Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Renault Downpipes – Unlock Hidden Performance

The Renault lineup features a range of iconic performance-oriented models like the Renault Megane RS, Clio RS, and Alpine A110, loved by enthusiasts for their sharp handling, turbocharged engines, and motorsport heritage. However, the factory-installed downpipes are designed to meet strict emissions standards, often restricting exhaust flow and reducing your car’s true potential. Upgrading to a performance Renault downpipe is one of the most effective modifications to increase horsepower, improve turbo spool, and achieve an aggressive exhaust note.

Why Choose Performance Renault Downpipes?

Stock Renault downpipes prioritize emissions compliance and noise control but limit performance. A high-quality performance downpipe unlocks multiple benefits:

• Higher horsepower and torque – improved exhaust flow reduces backpressure for better engine breathing.
• Faster turbo spool – achieve quicker throttle response and sharper acceleration.
• Enhanced exhaust tone – catted downpipes provide a sporty yet refined sound, while decat downpipes deliver a raw, motorsport-inspired roar.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – optimized thermal efficiency protects key engine components.
• Perfect for ECU tuning – essential for Stage 1, Stage 2, and hybrid turbo upgrades.

Types of Renault Downpipes

Our selection of Renault performance downpipes suits various driving needs and tuning stages:

Catted Renault Downpipes

Catted downpipes integrate a high-flow sports catalytic converter, balancing emissions compliance and performance gains. Ideal for street-driven Renaults in regions with emissions testing.

Decat Renault Downpipes

Decat downpipes remove the catalytic converter entirely, maximizing exhaust flow and unlocking full engine potential. Best for track-focused builds or regions without emissions restrictions.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

The choice of material impacts durability, weight, and thermal performance:

• Stainless steel downpipes – robust, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective.
• Titanium downpipes – ultra-lightweight, superior heat resistance, and a premium motorsport finish.

Renault Model Compatibility

Our Renault performance downpipes cover a wide range of turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines:

• Renault Megane RS Downpipes – optimized for 1.8 TCe and 2.0 Turbo engines.
• Renault Clio RS Downpipes – designed for 1.6 Turbo and 2.0 Turbo variants.
• Renault Alpine A110 Downpipes – engineered for lightweight performance builds.
• Renault Captur RS Downpipes – performance upgrades for sportier urban crossovers.
• Renault Talisman Downpipes – high-flow options for premium touring setups.

Performance Gains

Swapping your restrictive OEM downpipe for a Renault performance downpipe delivers significant results:

• +15–30 HP with a downpipe upgrade alone.
• +35–70 HP when combined with ECU Stage 2 tuning.
• Improved torque delivery for faster mid-range acceleration.
• Sharper throttle response and reduced turbo lag.

Choosing the Right Downpipe Diameter

Pipe diameter affects power delivery and tuning flexibility:

• 2.5-inch downpipes – ideal for lightly tuned engines and Stage 1 upgrades.
• 3-inch downpipes – perfect for high-boost Stage 2 setups and hybrid turbo builds.

All our Renault downpipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation, ensuring seamless fitment without cutting or welding.

Build Quality & Engineering

We ensure our Renault performance downpipes deliver unmatched durability and flow efficiency:

• Mandrel-bent tubing for unrestricted exhaust flow.
• High-grade stainless steel or lightweight titanium construction.
• Precision TIG welding for maximum strength and zero leaks.
• OEM-style flanges and fittings for a factory-quality fit.

Perfect Pairing with ECU Tuning

Combine your Renault downpipe with ECU remapping for optimal results:

• Boosts horsepower and torque significantly.
• Enhances turbo efficiency and boost control.
• Customizes exhaust sound based on catted or decat configuration.

Daily Driving vs Track Builds

For daily use, catted Renault downpipes balance compliance and performance, while decat options are designed for dedicated track cars seeking maximum flow and top-end gains.

Conclusion

Upgrading to a performance Renault downpipe transforms your vehicle’s dynamics, delivering noticeable gains in power, turbo response, and exhaust tone. Whether you opt for catted for street use or decat for uncompromised performance, our range of Renault downpipes ensures premium quality, perfect fitment, and proven results.
