DESIGN DETAILS

THE PROCORE ADVANTAGE

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.

HIGH-FLOW DESIGN

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 ENGINEERING

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.

CUTTING-EDGE MANUFACTURING

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.

HYBRID TURBO READY

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.

 

DYNO TESTING

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!

POWER GAINS OVER STOCK

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.

INSTALLATION

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.

Install time around 2-3 hours

Ummmmm noise to some, music to others. Online sound checks don't seem to get it captured.

Startup- loud. Cold startup- louder! Tune or no tune the pipe flow way more air. I tested the stock downpipe once I removed it with a small air gun air it was weak at best. Test new pipe with same gun and air seemed 10 times stronger. After install and cold start I went oh no! It's plenty loud with just the DP and stock exhaust....plenty loud. Long story short, with just the DP installed and no tune change or other updates I'd have to say it's 30-40% louder or more. My 8 yo noticed instantly. Pop n bangs too. After stage 2 tune loaded 8 yo said it sounds like firecrackers and asked if it was legal. We aren't even close to a STOCK Mustang GT or Dodge Challenger SRT loud but for an Audi it's **** spicy if your over 40 or just a car guy. That said, normal modes are still really quiet other than start up so keep your foot out the gas and out of Dynamic mode and you'll be fine.

Fantastic Part!

The part itself is fantastic! Easy to swap right out once you have the correct tools! Highly recommend wobble sockets / extensions. The downpipe sounds fantastic and gives excellent pops!

Worth it

Very well made part, install was easy aside from the two back bolts. Also sounds better and gave me a considerable bump in fuel economy which I was not expecting, highway MPG went up about 4 average. Makes a little more power too.
