Exhaust system Capristo Audi RS5 B8

02AU00503001, 02AU00503025, 02AU00503002

Exhaust system for the Audi RS5 B8 with the 4.2 FSI V8. The coupe shares the engine and the exhaust layout with the RS4 B8 of the same years.

Three versions

• Standard system (02AU00503001);
• System with ECE approval (02AU00503025);
• Rear silencer only, with ECE approval (02AU00503002).

The silencer-only option is for owners who want to keep the standard mid-section and still get valve control at the back.

How it works

The valves stay closed at light load, so cruising noise is close to standard. Opened, the gas path shortens and bypasses the damping chambers, which is where the volume and the sharper response come from.

Material and build

T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, hand TIG welded and polished to a mirror finish in Sundern, Germany, developed on 3D laser scans of the original pipework.

Before you order

• The ECE approved versions keep the car street legal in Europe;
• Tailpipes are chosen separately;
• The system is lighter than the stock parts it replaces;
• Installation is reversible.

Capristo Automotive GmbH has built valved exhaust systems since 1990 and holds several patents on its valve technology.
