A3 vs. S3 OEM downpipe difference?

[nate9213]

Is there any difference between the stock downpipes? I would like to go Stage 2 on my A3 but I'm in MA and so I would never pass emissions with an aftermarket downpipe. Trying to see if there is another option.

No difference if looking at awd version. 1.8T/Gti will not work on 2.0t cars

The difference between the downpipes comes from the drivetrain and orientation only. FWD and AWD 8V cars have different downpipes. If you are still looking to get some more sound though you could check out our aftermarket 8v A3 catbacks even but not gonna be as loud as a downpipe upgrade

I was skeptical that Audi used the same downpipe on A3 Quattro and S3, because why would they do that
But it looks to me like they do actually use the same P/N: https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi_201...0254501DX.html
