Product Description

 

 

The Integrated Engineering Catback Exhaust for Audi 8V RS3 is engineered to unleash the full sound and performance potential of Audi’s iconic 2.5T DAZA five-cylinder engine. Featuring a massive 3.5-inch single-path center section that transitions into dual 3-inch outlets, this system dramatically improves exhaust flow for both stock turbo and high-horsepower big turbo applications.

Unlike many factory-style twin-pipe systems, IE designed this exhaust from the ground up to support serious airflow demands while maintaining excellent sound quality and daily drivability. With the valves open, the RS3 delivers an aggressive, deep five-cylinder tone with sharp overrun crackles and enhanced turbo sound. Close the valves, and the system routes exhaust through the muffler chambers for a more refined OEM+ experience with minimal drone.

The built-in valved functionality retains factory Drive Select integration, allowing you to seamlessly switch between comfort and dynamic modes just like stock. Finished with oversized black optics RS-style oval tips, this exhaust not only sounds exotic—it completely transforms the rear appearance of the car as well.
