Audi R8 Gen2 2015-2019 S-Tronic (Pre Facelift) - Fits Standard and Plus Models

Full stainless 304 construction, with true two stage valved semi silenced / full unsilenced X pipe design.

Our XPIPE valvetronic design exhaust releases the full power capability. In normal driving, the gasses pass through the compact silencer, with an exhaust note similar to the stock exhaust when it's internal valves are closed, so features a deeper note than the stock exhaust on normal driving.

When the car passes 4000rpm, (or you can manually override the stock exhaust valve control system) the vacuum valves open, completely bypassing the silencer, feeding through the unsilenced X Pipe, and gives that gutteral straight pipe F1 type sound.

It is also remarkably drone free at motorway speeds and cruising in topgear.

Full CNC cut exhaust flanges, all bracketry included, adjustable tail pipes to aid in installation and alignment.
