- INSTALL & FITMENT
The IE B9 A4 & A5 Catted Downpipe is engineered to completely reduce turbocharger back pressure and increase turbo spool required for the calibrations of a stage 2 ECU tune. The combination of a performance downpipe and ECU tune together unlocks the full performance potential of your stock turbocharger and engine, delivering 97 horsepower over stock. Get ready to experience addictive power gains across the entire RPM range and an aggressive exhaust growl you are bound to love.
ADVANCED SOUND TUNING
IE engineers elected to use a resonator in the B9 A4 & A5 exhaust. The result was a much better sounding exhaust overall. The factory cat back has a very unpleasant rasp when used with a downpipe which does not have a resonator. As IE engineers are true enthusiasts as well, it was very important that the exhaust also sounded great. Check out the video to hear stock vs. IE sound clips.
*All sound clips are on a Stage 2 vehicle with IE cold air intake and intercooler installed. Only the downpipe was changed, no modifications were made to the factory installed catback.
HIGH-FLOW CATALYST
IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced.
QUALITY CAST SECTIONS
Typical aftermarket downpipes use bends or cuts to form the shape of the downpipe; this allows the use of larger piping, but sacrifices flow and often times fitment. Using specialized 3D scanners and software, IE engineers can design odd shapes and sizes to maximize flow and conform into tight spaces without any sacrifices. To accomplish these shapes, sections of the dowpipe are cast manufactured from the digital models. The result is an incredibly high-quality performance unit with a perfect fit and beautiful finish.
All IE exhaust systems are designed in-house using state of the art digital scanning for a perfect fit and manufactured from thick wall 304 stainless steel offering a lifetime of performance and fun.
INSTALLATION
The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Install your new downpipe kit without welding, cutting, permanent modifications, or installation hassles. Installation should be completed by a professional and preferably on an auto lift.
Install time around 3-4 hours

Great system
I've been very happy with this system. I was really hoping to avoid drone and was happy to find that there was none on my B9 A4 with this system. 100% agreed with one of the other reviews - it's far easier to remove the CAT from above. The pieces all fit very nicely together, match up perfectly to the stock parts and look great. I think that the sound is definitely a subjective matter. It's a 4cyl and sounds like one - it'll never sound like a 6 or an 8, nor was I expecting it to. Startup sounds nice and under easy driving it stays quiet below 2,500rpm. Push it and it'll open up with a nice rasp as the RPMs come down. This is more apparent in auto and sport mode, and even moreso of course in manual mode. But drive it easy and it's relatively unassuming.
When I installed this system I had already tuned my car with a stage I ECU and stage II TCU tune from Unitronic (sorry IE!) plus all the other necessary components for a stage II tune. After installing this system I had no CELs with the stage I tune. Neither did I of course with stage II (also Unitronic). I'm not a mechanic and had help installing, took about 5 hours with the car on jack stands.
I spent a lot of time researching different products and I am very happy with this system.
