Audi C8, RS6/RS7 Stainless Steel Valved Catback Exhaust

Audi C8 RS6/RS7 Stainless Steel Valved Catback Exhaust

Give your Audi RS6 or RS7 the voice its 4.0L twin-turbo V8 deserves with this Stainless Steel Valved Catback Exhaust System, engineered to free up exhaust flow and transform the character of the car without compromising everyday usability.

The factory C8 exhaust is heavily silenced. Tightened noise regulations mean one of the most capable engines Audi builds spends most of its life sounding far quieter than it should. This system replaces the restrictive rear section with a free flowing design that lets the V8 breathe, unlocking the deep, hard-edged bark the standard car keeps hidden.

An independent Varex valve system, controlled by remote, puts you in complete control of how loud the car is at any moment. Closed, it is calm enough for a cold start in a quiet street. Open, it delivers the full V8 character under load.

Every section is manufactured from stainless steel and precision TIG welded throughout, built to handle the heat of a twin-turbo V8 while retaining the factory mounting points and tip positions for a clean, bolt on installation.

Whether your car is otherwise standard or running downpipes and a tune, this system delivers the sound the platform is capable of while remaining completely usable every day.

Key Features

Independent Varex Valve System

Rather than reusing the restricted factory valves, this system operates its own dedicated valve assembly with complete travel in both directions. Sealed when closed for quiet running, and fully unobstructed when open for maximum flow and volume. Switch between a refined daily-driving experience and an aggressive performance exhaust note at the touch of a button.

Stainless Steel Construction

Corrosion resistant stainless steel throughout for long term durability under sustained high exhaust gas temperatures.

Improved Exhaust Flow

Removes the restriction of the heavily silenced factory rear section and allows the 4.0T V8 to breathe far more freely.

Signature Twin Turbo V8 Tone

Delivers the deep, hard-edged V8 character the standard exhaust suppresses, with a much stronger presence under load.

Precision TIG Welded

High quality welds engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and demanding performance use.

Mandrel Bent Tubing

Maintains a consistent internal diameter through every bend so flow is never choked.

Direct Bolt On Fitment

Designed for the C8 platform using the factory mounting locations and hanger positions.
