A link pipe is a central tube. or the connecting pipe, which almost always positively influences the exhaust gas flow. The system consists of a central tube with integrated silencer. This filters out all unnecessary and annoying resonance noise from the exhaust system and produces a clean and sporty sound. By retrofitting you can do without the OPF filter if of course you tell the engine control part that the OPF is no longer installed (adapted chip tuning software). If you retrofit a sport exhaust with flap system, the weight and dynamic pressure are almost always reduced. Many systems come with smartphone-compatible technology, and are connected to the on-board electronics. Control the exhaust flaps with your smartphone and get the desired, sporty sound.

There are hardly any link pipes that can be installed without registration. If this removes a factory filter it will be understandable. If you want to experience the full power of the Link Pipe, you need to install matching approved sport catalysts and a compatible downpipe. Also make sure that the selected Link Pipe is compatible with your vehicle model. If the Link Pipe is set up in the vehicle, a reprogramming of the ECU is absolutely necessary, because otherwise various warning signals appear in the cockpit.

Choose a link pipe that does not have to be added or use a "non-registrable link pipe" only in a vehicle without road approval.
