Does the Fabspeed Valvetronic Supersport X-Pipe fit all 2019+ Audi R8 models?

It fits the second-generation Type 4S Audi R8 from 2019 onward, all of which use the 5.2-liter V10, and it mounts in the factory rear location as a bolt-on with no cutting or welding. It is designed for the 2019 and later facelift car, so it does not fit the 2016 to 2018 Type 4S R8, which uses a different rear exhaust.

How do the valves work, and will it be too loud for daily driving?

The system is valved, so with the valves closed a quad-resonated center X-pipe keeps volume civil for daily driving and highway cruising. Open the valves and the R8's 5.2-liter V10 delivers its full roar. Adding the optional push-button controller lets you switch between the two modes on demand rather than relying on the car's factory valve logic.

How much power does it add?

With a supporting ECU tune, Fabspeed measured up to 53 wheel horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque at 5850 rpm on its test car in ambient conditions, so results vary with tune, fuel and climate. On its own the exhaust frees some restriction and drops 38 lbs from the rear, but the headline figures come with the tune.

What is the Valvetronic Supersport X-Pipe made from?

It is built from 14 to 16 gauge T304L and 321L stainless steel, aerospace-grade alloys chosen for heat and corrosion resistance over the life of the car. The construction is also light: the system saves 38 lbs, or 17.2 kg, at the rear of the car compared with the factory muffler system.

Is the valve controller included?

No. The system works with the car's factory valve control out of the box, but the push-button Fabspeed valve controller is an optional add-on at 495.95 dollars that gives you full manual control of the valves at any time. Many R8 owners add it so they can open or close the exhaust independently of the drive mode.

Is it a bolt-on installation?

Yes. The Valvetronic Supersport X-Pipe is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear muffler system and requires no cutting or welding, using the original mounting points. Fabspeed provides an installation guide, and while some owners fit it themselves, a professional exhaust shop can complete it quickly and confirm the valves and tips are aligned.

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.
