Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes – Unlock the Full Potential of the 4.0 TFSI V8

The Audi RS7 MK2, produced from 2019 onwards, represents the second generation of the RS7 lineup and features the advanced 4.0 TFSI twin-turbo V8 mild-hybrid engine. Combining cutting-edge technology, luxury and immense power, the RS7 MK2 delivers exceptional performance out of the box. However, the restrictive OEM downpipes limit its true potential. Upgrading to performance Audi RS7 MK2 downpipes is one of the most effective modifications to unleash additional horsepower, improve turbo efficiency and achieve a motorsport-inspired exhaust tone.

Why Upgrade to a Performance Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipe?

The stock downpipes are designed to meet strict emissions and noise regulations, but they restrict exhaust flow and reduce performance. Installing high-flow RS7 MK2 downpipes offers several key benefits:

• Significant horsepower & torque gains – optimized exhaust flow reduces backpressure and unlocks hidden power.
• Faster turbo spool – improved flow ensures quicker boost response and sharper acceleration.
• Enhanced exhaust tone – catted downpipes deliver a deep, refined sound, while decat downpipes unleash an aggressive, motorsport-inspired roar.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – optimized thermal efficiency protects turbos and engine components under extreme conditions.
• Perfect for ECU tuning – essential for Stage 1, Stage 2 and hybrid turbo setups.

Types of Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes

Our selection of Audi RS7 MK2 downpipes is designed to match different performance targets and driving preferences:

Catted Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes

Catted downpipes integrate a high-flow sports catalytic converter, maintaining emissions compliance while significantly improving exhaust flow. Perfect for daily-driven RS7 MK2 models in areas with strict emissions testing.

Decat Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes

Decat downpipes remove the catalytic converter entirely, maximizing exhaust flow and delivering the highest power gains. Recommended for track builds, off-road applications and high-output tuning setups.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

The material you choose has a direct impact on weight, durability and heat resistance:

• Stainless steel downpipes – corrosion-resistant, durable and cost-effective, ideal for most performance applications.
• Titanium downpipes – ultra-lightweight, superior heat management and a premium motorsport finish.

Performance Gains with Audi RS7 MK2 Downpipes

Installing performance RS7 MK2 downpipes delivers measurable power gains and improved drivability:

• +35–55 HP with downpipes alone.
• +75–120 HP when paired with Stage 2 ECU remapping.
• Substantial torque gains for stronger mid-range acceleration.
• Sharper throttle response and reduced turbo lag.

Choosing the Right Diameter

Selecting the optimal downpipe diameter ensures the best performance results:

• 3-inch downpipes – ideal for Stage 1 and Stage 2 configurations.
• 3.5-inch downpipes – recommended for hybrid turbos, big turbo conversions and extreme performance builds.

All Audi RS7 MK2 downpipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation, requiring no cutting or welding.
