A3 performance lives here. The Resonated Performance Exhaust for Audi A3 FWD mates up to the stock downpipe, and any downpipe designed to mate to the factory exhaust. The system features T304L stainless steel construction, and boasts a no CEL guarantee, fitment guarantee and a Lifetime Warranty. If that's not enough, the AWE Resonated Performance Exhaust for Audi A3 FWD is topped off with AWE-Logo'd 3.15" beveled exhaust tips, flaunting the AWE logo, and the system has multiple slip joints with high-quality t-bolt clamps, to allow optimal adjustment.Why did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our A3 exhaust? Our first prototypes of this system were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque with very little offsetting gain up top.

FAQ
Which vehicles does this fit?
Per the fitment data, it fits the 2006-2013 Audi A3 (Base, TDI).
Does it work with the stock downpipe?
Yes. It mates to the stock downpipe and to any downpipe designed to mate to the factory exhaust.
Why is it 2.5 inch instead of 3 inch?
AWE states its first 3.0 inch prototypes lost torque at lower rpm with very little offsetting gain up top, so the production system uses 2.5 inch tubing.
Will it cause a check engine light, and what is the warranty?
It is backed by the AWE No Check Engine Light Guarantee, the AWE Perfect Fitment Guarantee, and the AWE Lifetime Warranty.
