The Canadian Auto Performance catless downpipe is engineered to replace the restrictive stock catalytic converter on B8/B8.5 Audi A4, A5, and Q5 models equipped with the 2.0T engine. This modification is a crucial step for any 2.0T owner looking to unlock greater performance potential. It is expertly TIG welded and mandrel-bent to ensure durability and optimal performance. The kit includes the necessary 304 stainless steel gaskets for a complete installation. Installation is described as a bolt-on process. However, a Stage 2 ECU tune is recommended for proper usage and to fully benefit from the increased flow.
