Audi A3 8P (2003-2012) 2.0 TFSI 2.0T FWD/2WD 3 Door/3dr Turbo-Back Exhaust

Unleash the true voice of your 2.0 turbo petrol Audi A3 8P 3 door with a full turbo-outlet-back exhaust upgrade designed for sharper throttle response, stronger mid-range pull and a proper performance soundtrack.

This Cobra Sport stainless steel system uses large 3 inch, 76.2 mm pipework and replaces the factory front section, original catalytic converter, centre silencer and rear box to free up flow from the turbocharger all the way to the tailpipes. Expect a keener, more responsive drive and a refined yet purposeful tone that suits the Audi character.

Why owners choose this system

• 3 inch, 76.2 mm bore for reduced back pressure and improved gas flow
• Complete turbo to rear upgrade that replaces downpipe, cat, mid and rear sections
• Choice of acoustic setups:
  • Non-resonated for a louder, sportier note
  • Resonated for a more subtle, OE-plus sound
• Options for de-cat or sports catalyst to suit road or track requirements
• Supplied with all required fittings and gaskets for installation
• Quality stainless construction and a fit that looks factory fresh

Real performance potential

When paired with the complete turbo-back configuration and a de-cat, Cobra Sport’s testing recorded significant gains with a suitable remap required. Results showed power climbing by around 35 percent to 290.5 bhp, with torque jumping from 229 lb ft to 292 lb ft. That translates into stronger acceleration and a more eager rev range.

Sound you can live with

Prefer a discreet upgrade for daily use or motorway cruising? Go resonated for a modest increase in volume that maintains in-cabin comfort. After a more aggressive tone and more turbo character on boost? Choose the non-resonated setup for a bolder soundtrack.
