This stainless steel decat downpipe with an integrated heat shield was developed for maximum exhaust gas flow in the Audi RS4 and RS5 B9. By completely removing the catalytic converter, backpressure is significantly reduced, resulting in a more direct throttle response, a more aggressive exhaust note, and increased power potential. The heat shield helps reduce heat buildup in the engine compartment, especially during sporty use.
