cp-e® 1.6t Gamma QKspl™ Cast Bellmouth ECOf™ by GESI® Catted Downpipe - Forte GT
The cp-e® QKspl™ Downpipe for the 1.6t Gamma Engine is a complete bolt-on, turnkey solution for more power out of the stock turbocharger.
Originally produced by SXTH Element across town, we worked with them to upgrade the design to cast parts that replace the stock unit with a turbine matched cast bellmouth and full 3-inch diameter body through the catalyst and flex section until it reduces down to the 2.5″ cat-back system. Our unit is full 304 stainless steel construction with the finest TIG welds and components. It was redesigned from the original SXTH Element design to be the strongest and longest lasting downpipe available for the 1.6t Gamma. These are designed and manufactured to be significantly stronger than a flange and tube combination held together with a weld.

Tuning is not required to install this downpipe. We also take the necessary design steps to keep the check engine light from coming on.
1.6t Downpipe Design
Our 1.6t Downpipe is designed and built to withstand the most rigorous conditions and it looks great too! We utilize OEM-style stainless steel exhaust hangers to ensure a strong hold in the rubber isolators. A large Euro-style flex section is fabricated in place for a better-than-OEM quality installation. It arrives to you TIG welded and completed with our proprietary Titan™ finish.
All of our catalytic converter exhaust components that replace an OEM catalytic converter are built with the highly effective EcoF™ Cat. Our catalytic converter is brazed to the sidewall of the outer shell to allow full airflow, instead of the stuffed and rolled technique that reduces durability and longevity. It is then stamped on the endcaps to add strength and promote exhaust gas flow.
Our main design point of this downpipe is our cast 304 stainless steel bellmouth. Using our 3D scanning and computer modeling, we can match the turbine geometry while maximizing flow into the bellmouth and beyond. This also allows us to make tight bend geometry while maintaining a nice and thick-walled part that can withstand the abuse of racing both on the track and auto-cross. This is far-superior to pie-cut welded tubing in every way! These are designed and manufactured to be significantly stronger than a flange and tube combination held together with a weld. The design was immensely cared for to create a specifically fit connection for the Hyundai and Kia 1.6t Gamma engines.
