Audi 8Y RS3 Cat Back Exhaust System

Features:

• In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology and SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling for precision fitment 
• Dual 2.75” (70mm) midpipes designed to adapt to either 65mm (factory) or aftermarket (70mm) dual downpipes
• Dual midpipes collect into single 3.5” (89mm) pipe
• Splits to dual 3.0” (76mm) for muffler section
• The beautifully crafted final assembly is artfully Tig-welded and back purged for superior durability and the finest appearance
• Valved Muffler Design:
• In-house engineered to achieve the most desirable exhaust notes with the largest delta between valve "closed" and valve "open" driving conditions 
• Perforated tubing combined with stainless wool packing material helps to absorb unwanted volume and minimize drone throughout a specific RPM range
• Our system reuses the factory electronic servo-valves in order to retain OEM valve control, in addition to keeping installation simple.
• 12mm barbed exhaust hangers, featuring 360° hanger stoppers, are Tig-Welded in OE locations for precise location
• Utilizes factory RS oval tips
• Strategically placed slip joints provide the most adjustability to obtain perfect fitment
• Designed to maximize ground clearance while still being compatible with aftermarket components, such as larger rear sway bars. 

ECS RACE EXHAUST SYSTEM

If you have driven a DAZA-powered car, even in stock form it feels like the sky's the limit.

When you're driving an 8Y RS3 equipped with the DAZA you can put your foot to the floor and it feels like the car would keep going and going, possibly with no limit. The RS3 driving experience is great but there is always room for improvement. Expect a significant drop in weight and huge gains in flow and exhaust tone. You will have to find the other restrictions holding you back from more power because it won't be the exhaust's fault, this is as free flowing as it gets. 

Our mission at ECS was to amplify the 8Y RS3 with a proper catback exhaust system. To accomplish this goal, our engineers increased flow, reduced weight, and delivered an exhaust system that captures the full unrestricted sound of the glorious inline-5 DAZA engine. The increase in flow was gained from dual 2.75" (70mm) 304 stainless steel exhaust pipes that feed into a 3.5” (89mm) collector pipe into the straight-through free flowing rear section. We specifically designed this catback with flow in mind to ensure the exhaust would never be a restriction. Weight reduction is achieved by replacing the factory piping with lightweight 304ss for a more-than-modest weight advantage. The best part of the Race Catback is the capability to perform far beyond the point that the factory exhausts. All of this plus the direct fitment and straightforward installation leads to our ECS Race Catback exhaust being the clear answer in your mission to find the best exhaust for your DAZA  powered 8Y RS3.
