IE's in-house engineered ProCore Catalyst features our own tri-core design with a specialized coating, enabling it to pass vehicle readiness monitors without triggering a check engine light. An advanced molecular bonded wash process applies the precious metal coatings to ensure long-life reliability. Whether you're looking to improve the exhaust note from your SQ5 or building a track-destroying hybrid turbo setup, enjoy your exhaust without the annoying check engine light.
No check engine light does not equal reduced power. The 6" 400CPSI CAT maintains optimal flow to support substantial power gains up to large and hybrid turbochargers. Your IE ProCore downpipe will pass vehicle readiness monitors and allow total and complete power, torque, and spool potential from your hardware and tuning upgrade investments.
Advanced 3D scanning tools and cutting-edge software provide our engineers with a high-resolution digital model of Audi's unique 3.0T engine. This data is then used to maximize the downpipe size for flow and ensure perfect and factory-like fitment.
IE downpipes are manufactured with quality materials for lasting strength and performance. The T304L stainless steel investment cast body smoothly transitions exhaust flow from the massive 6" CAT to the dual 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust legs. All joints are hand TIG welded using precise fixtures and tooling for a seamless, leak-free fit.
The stock downpipe becomes a significant restriction when upgrading to a larger hybrid turbo. IE's cast downpipe is a direct fit to available upgraded turbochargers on the market and will unleash the complete horsepower, torque, and spool potential from your turbocharger investment.
Our IE B9 3.0T intake systems, turbo inlet pipe, and downpipe are hybrid optimized, making the installation of popular turbo upgrades an easy bolt-in process.
Real-world power numbers are achieved using our in-house dyno cells to verify the efficiency of the downpipe design. Dyno testing performed in controlled conditions on a hybrid turbo equipped B9 SQ5 resulted in consistent and significant power gains of 45HP & 41FT-LBS to the wheels!
The following chart details the power gains (WHP & WTQ) over the baseline power numbers taken from the stock downpipe on our hybrid turbo development SQ5.
The "0" baseline is the maximum power/torque made, and each following increment is the additional power gained from the IE downpipe upgrade.
The above power gains are a result of various design details:
The 6" 400 CPSI ProCore CAT improves exhaust flow.
The increased size of the downpipe body and smooth transition into the midpipes quickly evacuates exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel, improving turbocharger speed and efficiency.
The thick-wall investment cast body reduces radiant heat keeping the engine bay and charge air cooler.
Install your new downpipe kit without welding, cutting, permanent modifications, or installation hassles. The process is straightforward with the correct tools. If desired, the factory heatshield and engine cover reinstall with a perfect fit for a truly stealth look.

We update our catalog daily to provide the most accurate fitment information possible. When shopping for parts, please use the “select your vehicle” car selector on the home page. Once you've selected your car, you can filter parts specific to it.
Additionally, on each product page, we have a tab for fitment information. By clicking on "Fitment", you can scroll and verify the part you are about to add to your cart indeed fits.
Furthermore, if you have a vehicle added to our vehicle selector and you are viewing a product page, you'll see fitment information below the "add to cart" button. If an item fits your car it will display "This Part Fits Your: Selected Vehicule". If an item does not fit your vehicle a message will display "This Part Does Not Fit".
A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
