Fitment

Designed specifically for the Audi A3 8P 2.0 TFSI turbo petrol, 2WD, 3 door hatchback. Ideal for owners seeking a straightforward catback upgrade that enhances tone without compromising drivability.

Real-world results, road and track

The manufacturer’s development programme focuses on flow and sound quality that suits the Audi brand. In testing, the quieter resonated catback option added only around 3 dB on drive-by compared with the OE system, keeping in-cabin sound civilised for daily use while adding character outside. For drivers wanting maximum drama, non-resonated delivers a more aggressive soundtrack.

Their wider platform testing also shows that moving to a full turbo-back with a de-cat and remap can unlock substantial power and torque increases. While that setup is different to this catback system, it illustrates the headroom available on the 2.0T platform.
