Overview
The factory front pipe on the C7 S6/S7/RS6/RS7 4.0T V8 carries a restrictive pre-catalyst section that limits exhaust flow from both turbo banks. This catted downpipe replaces it with a less restrictive catalyst, improving turbo response while retaining catalytic function for road-registered use — with a heat shield included for underbonnet protection.
Why Upgrade?
- High-flow catalyst significantly less restrictive than the factory pre-cat
- Improved exhaust flow and turbo response from both banks
- Retains catalytic converter — suitable for road-registered vehicles
- Heat shield included for underbonnet protection
- Stainless steel construction
Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno
The C7's twin-turbo 4.0T V8 has plenty in reserve once the factory front pipe restriction is dealt with — this kit clears it on both banks at once without giving up the catalyst, so the car stays road-legal and gains the turbo response the engine has been holding back the whole time.
