XS-POWER Version III Audi 2.7T Downpipe Upgrade

Upgrade the exhaust system on your Audi 2.7T twin-turbo V6 with the latest SSAC / XS-POWER Version III braided flex stainless steel performance downpipes. Engineered for enthusiasts building or upgrading the legendary Audi B5 S4, B5 RS4, C5 A6 Quattro and C5 Allroad Quattro 2.7T platforms.

These non-resonated, catalytic-converter-delete downpipes feature large 3-inch turbo-side inlets transitioning to nominal 2.5-inch exhaust outlets. Their free-flowing design helps reduce exhaust restriction compared with more restrictive factory exhaust components.

Whether your project involves factory K03 turbos, upgraded K04 turbochargers, RS4-style turbo upgrades or a compatible RS6 turbo conversion, these performance downpipes provide a foundation for a custom high-flow exhaust system.

The Version III design incorporates braided stainless flex sections, precision-machined V-band connections, mandrel-bent tubing and TIG-welded construction for performance-oriented applications.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

VERSION III ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION

High-Flow 3-Inch to 2.5-Inch Exhaust Design

The large 3-inch turbo-side inlet transitions to 2.5-inch exhaust piping to support efficient exhaust gas evacuation. Reducing exhaust backpressure can help support turbocharger response and high-RPM airflow, depending on the complete engine and exhaust configuration.

Heavy-Duty Braided Flex Sections

Integrated stainless braided flex sections accommodate normal engine and exhaust movement, helping reduce stress transmitted through the downpipe assembly. Proper installation, alignment and exhaust support remain essential.

Precision V-Band Connections

CNC-machined mating V-band flanges and supplied clamps provide serviceable connections between the upper and lower downpipe sections. The mating flange design is intended to support secure assembly and convenient servicing.

Stainless Steel and TIG-Welded Construction

Constructed using 16-gauge, approximately 1.5 mm wall stainless steel tubing with mandrel bends and TIG-welded joints. The polished stainless finish provides an attractive appearance and corrosion resistance.

K03 / K04 / RS6 Turbo Upgrade Compatibility

The hybrid turbo-side flange configuration is designed for compatible K03 and K04 applications, including certain RS6-style turbo upgrade configurations. Verify turbocharger flange geometry, hardware, wastegate clearance and installation requirements before purchase.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

AUDI 2.7T VEHICLE FITMENT GUIDE

Designed for selected Audi B5 and C5 platform vehicles equipped with the 2.7L V6 30-valve twin-turbo engine and compatible manual transmission configurations.

*B5 RS4 is a market-specific application. Fitment must be verified for the individual vehicle. Year ranges are application references, not a guarantee of direct fitment for every configuration.

BUILT FOR AUDI 2.7T PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS

From a factory K03-equipped Audi S4 to a modified K04 or RS6-style twin-turbo build, exhaust flow is an important consideration when planning a performance upgrade.

The XS-POWER Version III downpipes are designed to support:

• Reduced exhaust restriction
• Improved exhaust flow potential
• Turbocharger upgrade projects
• High-RPM performance applications
• Custom exhaust fabrication and tuning
• More pronounced turbo and exhaust sound
• Modified Audi 2.7T street-car-based track builds

Performance results depend on engine condition, turbocharger selection, ECU calibration, exhaust configuration and other modifications. No specific horsepower gain or spool-time improvement is guaranteed.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Complete left and right downpipe assembly as described. Additional installation hardware, exhaust adapters, sensors or fabrication materials may be required depending on the vehicle.

INSTALLATION AND COMPATIBILITY NOTES

• Professional installation by an experienced Audi performance technician is strongly recommended.
• No installation instructions are included.
