Audi B9.5 RS4 RS5 2.9T High-performance downpipes
OAO High Performance Downpipes for Audi B9 RS4 / RS5 2.9T TFSI EA839 Twin-Turbo V6 T304 Stainless Steel Exhaust System
Unlock the Full Performance Potential of Audi's 2.9T Twin-Turbo V6
Designed specifically for the Audi B9 RS4 and RS5 equipped with the powerful EA839 2.9L twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the OAO High Performance Downpipes are engineered to maximize exhaust flow, reduce turbocharger backpressure, and unlock the full performance potential of Audi Sport's high-performance platform.
Replacing the restrictive factory catalytic downpipes allows exhaust gases to exit the twin turbochargers more efficiently, improving turbo response, enhancing throttle sensitivity, increasing engine efficiency, and delivering a deeper, more aggressive RS exhaust note.
Manufactured from premium T304 stainless steel with precision TIG welding, mandrel-bent tubing, and CNC-machined flanges, every OAO downpipe is built to withstand extreme temperatures while providing exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and OEM-quality fitment.
