Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo B9 Audi SQ5 Test Pipe is engineered to maximize exhaust flow, delivering higher power gains by replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converter. Crafted from cast T304 stainless steel with hand TIG welding and back-purging, this component ensures durability and reliable performance for years to come. This test pipe is designed using advanced CAD technology for a perfect fit, replacing the factory catalytic converter to unleash the power and performance of your 3.0T engine. It is intended for competition use and is not street legal. Installation hardware is included. Beyond performance, the CTS Audi SQ5 Test Pipe enhances the vehicle's sound, producing a sporty growl with more pronounced exhaust crackle on downshifts and a confident "braappp!" on upshifts, especially when paired with an aftermarket exhaust system. While it provides a subtle sound when cruising and no drone with the factory exhaust, users must be aware that installing this part will trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL). To mitigate this, proper Stage 2 tuning software is required for removal. Fitment is specifically for the 2018+ B9 Audi SQ5 models equipped with the 3.0T engine.
