Unleash sharper performance from your Audi with Redstar performance exhaust downpipes for the 2019+ Audi C8 RS7 Sportback Sedan / RS7 Performance, 2019+ Audi C8 RS6 Avant / RS6 Performance / RS6 GT, and 2019+ Audi D5 S8 Sedan. Purpose built for these platforms, they install as a true bolt-on replacement for the factory downpipes, with high-performance catalytic converter options or competition catless.
A flow-optimised, smooth-transition design improves exhaust flow for faster spool, stronger throttle response and meaningful power gains, while enriching the signature V8 soundtrack. Redstar's OEM-style heat shielding option cuts radiant exhaust heat by up to 80% to help control under-bonnet temperatures and support turbocharger longevity.
Crafted from 2.0mm wall 304L stainless steel, every unit is 100% TIG welded and back purged with OEM-spec flanges for a precise fit using factory brackets. Developed for C8 RS6, C8 RS7 and D5 S8 applications, this Redstar downpipe upgrade suits LHD and RHD cars. For a bolder note, pair with the Redstar Resonator Delete.
