Anyone who can tell me where I can find a divorced downpipe specific to the R ? I have seen a few info on it, but everytime I try to find one, it seems to be im possible to find the price separately. It is always included in a new turbo kit.

If you study the K04 turbo you can see that there is very little to be gained with a divorced setup.

APR Australia are the only company I know of going to the trouble of producing one. See the following thread.

A few people over here have even reported better results after switching to a standard DP.

The power gains won't be that high. I recommend Milltek TBE. I have a few friends with APR exhaust and they've changed it now.
Also a very good exhaust is Scorpion Exhaust. Mike@Forge on this forum can help you

They don't make a system for 2.0T AWD

Is there rubber bushings in the original one ? This probably prevents some rattles.

It also looks like someone forgot to weld u p the pipe. Its just tacked together. Either that or its a photo showing their product development
