The aFe 46-20417-R is the red-anodized billet turbo muffler delete for the separately required aFe charge-pipe kit, replacing the muffler at the turbo compressor outlet. It is not a turbocharger inlet pipe, a complete charge-pipe kit or a part for OE charge pipes.
| Years | Model | Exact engine / requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 2015–2021 | Volkswagen GTI MkVII | 2.0L turbo; exact original connections required; requires aFe charge-pipe kit 46-20414-B, not OE charge pipes. |
| 2015–2019 | Volkswagen Golf R | 2.0L turbo; requires aFe charge-pipe kit 46-20414-B, not OE charge pipes. |
| 2019–2020 | Volkswagen Jetta GLI | 2.0L turbo; requires aFe charge-pipe kit 46-20414-B, not OE charge pipes. |
| 2015–2020 | Audi A3 / S3 | 2.0L turbo; actual engine, turbo outlet and mounting layout must match; requires aFe charge-pipe kit 46-20414-B, not OE charge pipes. |
46-20417-R: The exact red page requires the aFe charge-pipe kit and excludes OE pipes. Its linked R-named PDF prints a B-suffix instruction cover, although it describes the same aFe-tube adapter/flange family. Confirm the actual red kit revision and hardware before installation; the boxed revision has not been inspected. That linked manual lists a 2.50-inch adapter-side clamp while the complete bundled kit manual lists 2.38 inches; do not assume the clamps interchange. Vehicle coverage remains conditional on the correct engine, turbo and already installed compatible charge pipes.
