A degraded precious-metal washcoat fails to convert HC, CO, and NOx, triggering P0420\/P0430 efficiency codes, while loose honeycomb debris restricts exhaust flow and causes metallic rattling. Factory flex sections and 3-bolt flanges also corrode and leak over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Direct-Fit Stainless Exhaust Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt as a true bolt-on pair for the \u003cstrong\u003e7L\u003c\/strong\u003e chassis, these converter downpipes feature corrosion-resistant stainless steel bodies and ceramic honeycomb substrates with precious-metal washcoats. Each pipe integrates factory 3-bolt flanges, OEM-style hangers, oxygen sensor bungs, and a braided flex joint to absorb engine movement and prevent flange cracking. Replacing both banks together maintains balanced backpressure across the \u003cstrong\u003eBHK\u003c\/strong\u003e cylinder banks with no cutting or welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Catalytic Converter Downpipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x 3-Bolt Flange Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting bolts, nuts, and washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2008-2010 Volkswagen Touareg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3.6L VR6 (BHK) \/ 7L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFactory Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e280 hp \/ 266 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008 Volkswagen Touareg (VR6, V6, V6 Premium) - 3.6L VR6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2009 Volkswagen Touareg (VR6, V6, V6 Premium) - 3.6L VR6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Volkswagen Touareg (VR6, V6, V6 Premium) - 3.6L VR6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the 7L Touareg?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2008-2010 Volkswagen Touareg equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.6L VR6 (BHK)\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eNot for V8 or V10 TDI models; EPA (federal) compliant only and not CARB approved for vehicles registered in California, New York, Colorado, or Maine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre oxygen sensors included, and will this clear P0420\/P0430 codes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxygen sensors are not included, so transfer your existing sensors or install new ones while checking for exhaust leaks; restoring catalyst efficiency clears P0420\/P0430 codes caused by a failed converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Volkswagen Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineered to meet factory OBD II monitoring tolerances on the \u003cstrong\u003e7L\u003c\/strong\u003e platform, this paired downpipe assembly restores quiet exhaust flow, federal emissions compliance, and reliable CEL-free operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083715375352,"sku":"DS-E7BC6V15S","price":336.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-volkswagen-touareg-2008-2010-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1794532005","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-volkswagen-touareg-2008-2010-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
