Choose from CAP's beautiful 304 stainless steel catless downpipe or our 304 stainless steel heatshielded catless downpipe, designed to fit in place of the restrictive factory catalytic converter and provide years of reliable performance.
Introducing the Canadian Auto Performance catless downpipe - Version 2 (V2)! Newly released for 2024, we have redesigned our V1 downpipe from the ground up to maximize the diameter as well as make it look more aesthetically pleasing! You will not be disappointed with, in our opinion, the best looking and the best-flowing downpipe on the market today.
It's time to increase your B9 Audi S4/S5's power, by increasing exhaust flow.
Experience increased horsepower, faster turbo response, and a meaner exhaust note.
Easy to install and built to last your car's lifetime.
Installing a B9/B9.5 S4/S5 catless downpipe will increase horsepower and torque, improve exhaust flow & enhance turbo spool-up time. As a result - your car will rev faster and produce a more aggressive exhaust note. This performance upgrade will also reduce turbo lag & enhance throttle response, which can result in better fuel efficiency on the Audi S4/S5 models, compared to restrictive factory parts.

When it comes to choosing between heat shielded and non-heat shielded downpipes for your Audi B9/B9.5 S4/S5, understanding the pros and cons of each option will help you maximize performance and protect your engine components.
Here’s a quick overview to make things easy:
Heat shielded downpipes offer several advantages that can significantly improve your Audi's performance and longevity:
Reduced Heat Soak: By effectively managing exhaust heat, heat shields prevent excessive temperatures from affecting nearby components, reducing the risk of heat soak and maintaining optimal engine performance.
Enhanced Engine Bay Protection: Heat shields act as a barrier, protecting sensitive components such as electrical systems, fuel lines, and wiring harnesses from heat-related damage.
Improved Air Intake Temperature: By keeping engine bay temperatures lower, heat shields help maintain cooler air intake temperatures, leading to better combustion and increased power output.
Optimized Exhaust Flow: Heat shielding helps maintain higher exhaust gas temperatures, which can improve exhaust flow and scavenging, potentially leading to better turbocharger performance and faster spool times.
Noise and Vibration Reduction: Heat shields can also help dampen noise and vibrations, contributing to a more refined driving experience.
For performance enthusiasts looking to maximize their Audi's potential, the benefits of heat shielded downpipes often outweigh the negligible increase in weight and cost.
Let’s cut through the myths: A catless downpipe won’t harm your Audi’s 3.0T engine if properly paired with CAP’s intercooler & performance tune. While generic catless setups risk issues like elevated exhaust temps or lean fuel trims, CAP’s 3.0T downpipes are precision-built to enhance reliability.
Our V2 design uses aerospace-grade 304 stainless steel and mandrel-bent piping to reduce back pressure without overheating turbos or stressing engine components.
Key safeguards include:
The real danger lies in failing factory catalytic converters, which fragment and damage turbos – a problem our downpipes eliminate entirely.
For Audi 3.0T owners chasing max power and turbo response, CAP’s catless downpipe is the single most impactful bolt-on mod. Here’s why:
