Located after the midpipes and before the catback, IE's X-pipe replaces the middle section of factory tubing and the sizeable suitcase center resonator. Upgrading this section removes the massive resonator and ultimately frees up the middle of the exhaust system improving flow and exhaust sound.

This helpful diagram splits the factory exhaust into sections as an example to simplify the system.

The X-pipe is manufactured from CNC mandrel bent and TIG-welded high-quality 304 stainless steel tubing. This material is the high-end choice for exhaust systems for its lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance. OE-quality clamps are included to ensure no annoying leaks or performance issues. Enjoy a perfect fit and long-life enjoyment of your exhaust system upgrade.

The S6 & S7 V8 twin-turbo engine can produce a symphony of addicting exhaust sound with the ability to compete with even the most exotic sports cars. Unfortunately, the stock center resonator is designed to silence the 4.0TT motorsport engine to disappointingly low levels. The IE X-pipe upgrade offers an affordable exhaust modification that removes the center resonator/muffler and replaces it with a highly tuned set of precision bent pipes that join in the center to produce a truly killer exhaust note.

Installing your IE X-pipe is a permanent modification that requires measuring and cutting the stock catback exhaust. The process requires a saws-all or similar and typical hand tools to complete.

Install time around 3-4 hours
