Audi S3 (8P) Quattro Sportback Turbo Back Exhaust

The Cobra Sport Audi S3 (8P) Quattro (5 Door) Sportback Turbo Back Performance Exhaust is meticulously engineered to elevate the performance and auditory experience of your Audi S3 8P Quattro. This comprehensive turbo-back system features 3-inch (76.2mm) pipework, seamlessly replacing the front pipe, standard catalyst, and the entire centre and rear exhaust sections. You can choose between a resonated centre silencer for a refined yet sporty tone, or a non-resonated option for a more aggressive and louder exhaust note. For dedicated racing applications, a de-cat version is also available, though it is intended solely for motorsport and off-road use worldwide. Cobra Sport claims significant performance gains, with testing indicating a potential increase of 24% in power and 26% in torque when the de-cat system is installed with a mandatory ECU re-map. Specifically, figures rose from a stock 259 bhp to 321.5 bhp, and torque from 249 ft-lb to 314 ft-lb. Additionally, the system offers a weight reduction of 32.5%, with the Cobra Sport system weighing 17.7 kg compared to the OE system's 26.24 kg. While the sports catalyst version replaces a factory emissions device, it is not EC homologated and may not comply with current road emission laws in all territories. EML lights may illuminate after removing the standard OE catalyst, and an ECU re-map is strongly recommended to rectify this and optimize power delivery. Cobra Sport provides all relevant fittings and gaskets, though the turbo gasket is not included. As with any modification involving emissions devices, customers are responsible for ensuring adherence to all local laws regarding highway use.
