Audi S5 (B8 / B8.5) 2010-2017 3.0T Supercharged Performance Downpipes - Vortex®

Wake Up the Supercharged Beast.

The Audi S5 B8/B8.5 is a modern classic, famous for its linear and relentless 3.0T Supercharged power. However, the factory downpipes act as a massive bottleneck, trapping heat and muffling the engine’s true character.

Vortex® has engineered the ultimate high-flow downpipe solution to eliminate backpressure and turbo (supercharger) lag. By optimizing exhaust gas velocity, our downpipes allow your S5 to breathe at its full potential, providing the essential foundation for Stage 2 and Stage 2+ builds while delivering a crisp, authoritative V6 growl.

### Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment

Precision-designed for a 100% bolt-on fitment across the B8 platform:

### Technical Highlights

• Maximizing Supercharged Power: Engineered specifically for the EA837 engine. By removing restrictive factory cats, our downpipes allow for massive gains in horsepower and torque when paired with an ECU & Dual-Pulley tune.

• Instant Throttle Response: Experience a dramatic improvement in low-end torque and mid-range punch. The high-flow design allows the supercharger to deliver boost more efficiently with zero exhaust backpressure.

• The Definitive V6 Soundtrack: Transforms the muted factory note into a clear, aggressive mechanical symphony. Expect sharp "barks" on upshifts and that iconic supercharger whine to be more pronounced.

• Premium Material Engineering:

  • T304 Stainless Steel: Precision mandrel-bent for maximum flow and lifelong durability against the intense thermal stress of high-boost tuning.

  • Grade 5 Aerospace Titanium (Optional): The professional’s choice for weight reduction and a unique, high-frequency metallic "rasp."

• Artisanal Craftsmanship: Every Vortex® downpipe features our signature hand-laid TIG fish-scale welding, ensuring structural integrity that can withstand extreme vibrations and heat.
