Audi S5 8T 3.0 TFSI V6 Valved Exhaust System (2012-2016)

The Audi S5 8T 3.0 TFSI V6 exhaust in detail.

After the facelift, the 8T S5 swapped its V8 for a 3.0 TFSI: a supercharged V6 rated at 333 hp and 440 Nm for the 2012 to 2016 model years. Its torque arrives instantly, with no lag. This car overlaps with the “S4 / S5 B8 3.0 TFSI V6” page, based on a detailed technical specification; the naturally aspirated V8 S5 8T has its own page too.

Audi tuned this engine for performance without ostentation, and the factory exhaust takes discretion almost to the point of silence. With the valves open, our valved cat-back reveals a muscular bass, assertive under load, with crisp crackles on the overrun; with the valves closed, the S5 returns to its refined coupé reserve, never tiring on a long journey.

Because this page comes from the previous catalogue, we compare your VIN with our technical reference before building, and direct you to the S4 / S5 B8 page if needed. No welding to fit it: clamps, gaskets and about two hours; the factory valve control stays active, or the Rog remote, hidden in the boot, takes its place.

The “Manifold” option sold here replaces the parts just after the V6, which carry the catalytic converters. For a coupé still used every week, the 200-cell version is the most logical since it keeps emissions control; the 100-cell one is accepted or not depending on the car and the rules in your country, and the decat is reserved for track use. Without a revised map, the supercharger does not deliver a single extra horsepower. 304 stainless steel and titanium, around 40% lighter and offered in three colours, are both available.
