Grail exhaust system Audi RS3 8V

Loud but Legal

GRAIL flap exhaust systems with ECE type approval can be used on your EU vehicle without registration. They are made by hand in Germany from high-quality L304 stainless steel and produce an unmistakable sound that will give you goosebumps the first time you start the engine.
If you are driving an imported vehicle with an operating license, please find out before purchasing whether you need to have the exhaust system registered in your vehicle documents.

Loud – maximum volume

You ride your GRAIL loud but legally.

With the intelligent control you get the legal maximum out of your engine sound.

The use of highly effective silencers enables maximum volume and wonderful engine sound outside the test areas, because only in these are the flaps of your GRAIL closed and only when closed is the rear silencer part of the exhaust flow.

This is how we achieve pure engine sound and maximum volume.

Your GRAIL can also be quiet.

With a GRAIL you get two vehicles in one.

We use specially developed silencers, which are developed and adapted for your vehicle in the GRAIL sound laboratory. The combination with solid flaps is not only designed for maximum sound output when the flaps are open, but also for maximum damping when the flaps are closed.

If you drive your vehicle within the respective test ranges, your GRAIL will not be louder than the standard system. The highest quality and materials allow us to achieve the unmistakable delta between loud and quiet, which has been unrivalled for years.

FAQ

Which engine code is in my RS3 8V?

That depends on the model year. Cars from 2015-2017 (pre-facelift) have the CZGB with 367 hp and a steel block. Cars from 2017-2019 (facelift) have the DAZA with 400 hp and an aluminium block. Cars from 2019 have the DNWA with 400 hp and a petrol particulate filter. The exact engine code is on the invoice or in the registration document. If unsure, just send us the VIN on WhatsApp.

Does the DNWA with a particulate filter sound different from the DAZA without one?

Yes, in detail. The particulate filter damps the top end slightly and makes the sound a little warmer. With the GRAIL system, though, the DNWA gets back what the filter takes away in standard form - the result comes very close to the DAZA's character. If you drive a DNWA anyway, GRAIL gives you uncompromised five-cylinder sound without removing the filter.

Why does GRAIL fit two valves in series?

With two valves in series the difference between loud and quiet is far greater than on standard systems with a single valve. Closed, the system stays comfortably within all noise limits - fully ECE compliant. Open, the full, unrestrained five-cylinder sound comes through. A range very few systems on the market offer.

How are the valves controlled?

Through your RS3 8V's factory Audi valve control. Both valves respond automatically to the drive modes - in Dynamic or RS they open, in Comfort or Efficiency they stay closed. No remote, no extra module.

Does the system fit the RS3 saloon 8V?

No. The RS3 saloon 8V (which existed only as a facelift with DAZA and DNWA) has a different rear geometry from the Sportback. We offer a GRAIL system of its own for the saloon in the shop.

Does the system also work on the RS3 8Y?

No. The RS3 8Y has the successor engine code DNWC and a completely different exhaust geometry. There is a GRAIL system of its own for the 8Y, available separately as Sportback and saloon versions in the shop.

Which tailpipe colour suits the RS3 8V better?

Brushed stainless steel is the classic choice and suits the RS3's sporting look, especially on light paint. Matt black is more discreet and works with a black package, black wheels and stealth builds. Both have the same oval shape (170 x 107 mm) and sit precisely in the rear trims.

How does the deposit model with fitting work?

You pay 50% by prepayment or bank transfer (PayPal does not work for this). We order the system from GRAIL and cover it in advance for you. As soon as it arrives in our workshop we arrange the fitting date. The balance falls due only after the work is done - not before.
