Akrapovic Downpipe w/ Sport Cat for 8V Audi S3

The Akrapovič Downpipe with Sport Cat for the Audi S3 (8V) is a high-flow upgrade with an integrated front link pipe, built from high-quality stainless steel to reduce restriction ahead of the exhaust. Installed on an Audi S3 or Volkswagen Golf R equipped with either the factory system or an Akrapovič exhaust, it is designed to push the combination further by improving both torque and power output. The included 200 cpsi catalyst is ECE-compliant, keeping the setup focused on street-driven performance rather than track-only hardware. Sound output is more urgent and motorsport-leaning at high rpm, with clean feedback when you stay in the throttle, while remaining controlled in daily driving with no unwanted drone.
