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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem Type: Resonated cat-back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubing Diameter: 2.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: T304L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTips: 3.15 in beveled, AWE logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: Mates to the stock downpipe or any downpipe designed to mate to the factory exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamps: Slip joints with T-bolt clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: 3010-22016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe standard in Audi exhausts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment Guaranteed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo CEL Guaranteed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Part Fits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\" width=\"100\"\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\" width=\"125\"\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\" width=\"150\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\" width=\"80\"\u003eSubmodel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhich vehicles does this fit?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePer the fitment data, it fits the 2006-2013 Audi A3 (Base, TDI).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eDoes it work with the stock downpipe?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
