Does the APR Rear Catback Exhaust for B9 SQ5 need the APR midpipes?

No. The APR Rear Catback Exhaust for B9 SQ5 bolts directly to the factory midpipes and adds 5 horsepower and 6 lb-ft at the wheels on its own. Pairing it with the APR Midpipes turns it into a full system and doubles the measured gain to 10 horsepower and 12 lb-ft.

Will the APR SQ5 exhaust fit a car with air suspension?

No. APR excludes vehicles equipped with the S Sport Package or air suspension from the fitment of this system. Owners should check the original build of their SQ5 or SQ5 Sportback, including the suspension type and option packages, before ordering, because the exclusion applies to both body styles.

Does the APR SQ5 rear exhaust keep the factory valve?

Yes. The exhaust valve stays fully integrated with the factory control system. When it is closed the exhaust passes through the straight-through absorption muffler for a quieter cruise, and when it opens under aggressive driving the flow bypasses the muffler for the full sound.

Why does the APR SQ5 exhaust come with a tunnel brace?

The APR system replaces the twin factory pipes with an RS-style 3.5 inch center pipe, which needs more room in the tunnel under the vehicle. APR includes an upgraded tunnel brace that clears the larger pipe, so the installation needs no cutting or modification.

Does the APR SQ5 exhaust change the look of the rear bumper?

No. The system exits through dual 3 inch downturns hidden beneath the bumper, which matches the clean factory approach of the SQ5 and keeps its appearance unchanged. The difference is in the sound, which becomes deeper and more aggressive at wide-open throttle.

Description

APR Rear Catback Exhaust for B9 Audi SQ5

APR’s Rear Catback Exhaust for B9 Audi SQ5 brings the single large center pipe of the RS4 and RS5 to the 3.0 TFSI SUV, giving it a deeper, more aggressive growl. Brushed T304 stainless runs through a cast Y-junction into a 3.5 inch center pipe, then through a valved rear muffler to dual 3 inch downturn exits hidden beneath the bumper. It bolts to the factory midpipes on its own, worth 5 horsepower and 6 lb-ft at the wheels, or pairs with the APR Midpipes for 10 horsepower and 12 lb-ft. For an SQ5 owner who wants more voice while keeping the factory look, it is the place to start.

Design and Performance

The exhaust valve stays fully integrated with the factory control system. When it is closed, exhaust flows through the straight-through sound absorption muffler for a quieter cruise; when it opens under aggressive driving, the flow bypasses the muffler entirely. Electropolished cast splitters keep the transitions smooth, and an upgraded tunnel brace is included to clear the larger piping.

Mandrel-bent brushed T304 stainless steel with TIG welding
Cast Y-junction merging dual 2.75 inch pipes into a single 3.5 inch center pipe
Dual 3 inch downturn exits

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
