Our take on the APR mpk0008 Exhaust Race Midpipes with Catalysts

These are APR's catted race midpipes for VW/Audi turbo cars: two 2.5-inch T304 stainless pipes with GESI high-flow catalysts, built as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory midpipes. They mate to the stock downpipe or APR's Race downpipe and are required, along with a Race downpipe, to run APR Stage 2. The GESI bricks are furnace-brazed and physically captured by the diffuser cones, which APR says resists rattling and substrate damage on high-power builds. Compared with catless midpipes they keep a catalyst in the exhaust for emissions and smell; compared with stock they flow more and unlock Stage 2 tuning.

Best forVW/Audi turbo owners moving to APR Stage 2Drivers who want more exhaust flow but keep a catalystBuilds using the stock or APR Race downpipeTrack and street cars needing durable stainless hardware
Pros
  • GESI high-flow catalysts keep emissions hardware in place
  • T304 stainless with argon back-purged TIG welding
  • Mandrel-bent 2.5-inch piping for smooth flow
  • Captured, brazed catalyst brick resists rattling and rotation
  • Direct fit to factory or APR Race downpipe
  • New gaskets, bolts and copper-plated nuts included
Cons
  • Requires a Race downpipe for Stage 2, so it is not a standalone power mod
  • Catalyst-equipped pipes still restrict flow versus catless versions
  • Install needs the car raised and old hardware often fights back
  • Clearance sales are final, with no returns or support
  • Not street-legal in every state; check local emissions rules

About the APR mpk0008 Exhaust Race Midpipes with Catalysts

The APR Race Midpipes with Catalysts are dual 2.5" exhaust midpipes designed as a plug-and-play, direct replacement for the factory part. They work with both the factory downpipe and the APR Race downpipe.

The piping is brushed T304 stainless steel, mandrel bent and TIG welded with argon back-purging. It is welded to the included catalysts and to CNC-machined, ultra-flat, OEM-style 3-bolt flanges.

The two GESI high-flow catalysts are intended for forced induction applications. Each has a fully captured substrate brick, furnace brazed to the outer mantle and held by the diffuser cones. This helps prevent rattling, rotation and damage to the substrate, especially on higher-horsepower setups. Race Midpipes, catted or non-catted, are required for Stage 2 along with the APR Race downpipe.

Questions and answers

Do I need these for APR Stage 2?
Yes. APR lists catted or non-catted Race midpipes plus a Race downpipe as required for Stage 2. On their own they do not add a tune.
Will they fit my stock downpipe?
They are a direct replacement for the factory midpipes and work with the OEM downpipe as well as APR's Race downpipe. They use OEM-style 3-bolt flanges and slip clamps.
Catted or catless: which should I pick?
The catted version keeps a GESI high-flow catalyst, which reduces smell and helps with emissions checks at some flow cost. Catless flows more but is for off-road use only.
What is in the box?
Two midpipes with GESI high-flow catalysts, new gaskets, bolts and copper-plated nuts.
Are the catalysts durable on a high-power car?
APR says the GESI substrate is furnace-brazed to the mantle and captured by the diffuser cones to prevent rattling, rotation and damage, which matters most on high-horsepower forced-induction builds.
Where is the APR mpk0008 Exhaust Race Midpipes with Catalysts cheapest?
At XLR8 Performance, for $649.99, as of our latest check.
