Transform your Audi C8/C8.5 S6 Sedan/Avant and C8/C8.5 S7 Sportback Sedan with the 2.9L Twin Turbo V6 using Redstar performance exhaust downpipes. Purpose-built with a big-bore layout and smooth, flow-optimised transitions, these downpipes minimise restriction to let the 2.9T breathe more efficiently. Designed as a true bolt-on upgrade that interfaces with OEM mounting points, they elevate your exhaust system with precision-engineered efficiency.
Expect sharper throttle response, quicker turbo spool and significant gains in delivered power, paired with a deeper, more assertive exhaust character. Configure your system with high-output catalytic options including HJS HD 200cpsi and GESI GEN2 400cpsi converters rated to support up to 1000hp, or select the competition catless variant for maximum flow. Add Redstar's OEM-style, motorsport-inspired heat shielding to cut radiant exhaust heat by up to 80% and help control under-bonnet temperatures.
Built for durability and performance, every Redstar downpipe is manufactured from 2.0mm wall 304L stainless steel, TIG welded and back purged, and finished with OEM-spec V-band flanges. With LHD and RHD compatibility, Redstar delivers the quality, reliability and unmistakable sound enthusiasts expect from a premium performance exhaust downpipe upgrade.
