Equipping your B8 A4 or A5 2.0T engine with an IE catted downpipe delivers additional horsepower, torque, and responsiveness when paired with a matching Stage 2 ECU tune.

All IE exhaust systems are designed in-house using state of the art digital scanning for a perfect fit and manufactured from 1/16” thick wall 304 stainless steel offering a lifetime of performance and fun.
