Exhaust system suitable for Audi RS3 8V - five-cylinder with valve control
The 2.5 TFSI in the RS3 8V is one of the most characterful engines in its class - and the right system audibly brings it out. Here you will find the GRAIL valved exhausts suitable for the Audi RS3 8V Sportback and the RS3 8V saloon - with ECE type approval and two valves in series.
Two valves in series - a wide range between quiet and loud
The GRAIL systems for the 8V use two valves in sequence: closed, the RS3 stays restrained; open, the five-cylinder delivers its full voice. Engine codes CZGB, DAZA and DNWA are covered. Thanks to ECE approval you drive without a registration entry under German law. More systems in the GRAIL overview.
Fitting at FLOW DOWN® in Essen
Installation in our own workshop: 50% deposit when ordering, the rest after fitting. RS3 drivers come from the Ruhr area, but just as often from Berlin, Munich or across the border - and it is usually all done in a day.
Frequently asked questions about the RS3 8V exhaust
Does the GRAIL system on the RS3 8V need a registration entry?
No - it has ECE type approval, so no entry is needed as long as the engine and exhaust of your RS3 are otherwise standard.
Does the system fit both the Sportback and the saloon?
There is a separate version for each - both are in this collection. Please pick the right body style when ordering.
Which engine codes does the RS3 8V system fit?
CZGB (pre-facelift) as well as DAZA and DNWA - on request we check which applies using your chassis number.
How are the valves controlled on the RS3?
Through your Audi's drive modes - the system runs on the factory valve control, with no remote.
