Exhaust system Capristo Audi S6 / S7 4G

02AU01903007

Exhaust system for the Audi S6 and S7 of the 4G series with the 4.0 TFSI EA824 biturbo V8. The hot-vee layout puts the turbochargers inside the vee, where they absorb most of the sound before the exhaust even starts, so the system behind them is what gives the V8 back its voice.

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, rated for continuous temperatures above 600 C, hand TIG welded and polished to a mirror finish in Sundern, Germany, engineered on 3D laser scans of the original pipework.

Before you order

• The cat delete downpipes for these cars are a separate part;
• Installation uses the original mounting points and is reversible.
