Product Description

This MBRP catback replaces the factory exhaust behind the catalytic converter with 3-inch stainless tubing and a quad-exit rear section. It is for 8Y S3 owners who want more sound and flow without changing the downpipe or touching the factory emissions equipment.

The Valve Delete option is the straightforward choice if you want the exhaust open all the time. The Active Profile system is for S3 owners who want the factory valves to keep doing their job, with a quieter setting when the valves are closed and more sound when they open. Both use a direct-fit layout and keep the quad-exit look the S3 should have.

Choosing Valve Delete or Active Profile

Pick Valve Delete if the goal is a fixed exhaust setup with no factory valve operation. Pick Active Profile if retaining the factory valve function matters to you. The Active Profile option is the better fit for drivers who want to keep the different sound modes available from the car, while Valve Delete is the simpler setup.
