The Powervalve REV II Turbo-back (with cat delete pipe) SPORT exhaust is our mid-range option for the Audi A3 2.0 TFSi, providing you with a perfectly balanced sports tone both externally and internally above the stock exhaust note, when the car is running off boost (Cruising and driving sedately). However, as you are no doubt already aware if you are looking to create the best possible audible thrill...
Powervalve offers a unique perspective on exhaust technology, providing the driver with the option of two distinct natures. When the car is pottering around or cruising the sound is at once uplifted and noticeable yet controlled and non-intrusive. However, once the car is driven aggressively and produces a key level of boost pressure everything changes and the sound becomes purposeful and redefined reflecting the true essence of the A3 2.0 TFSi. All of which are under the complete control of your right foot, therefore, you determine the sound minute to minute depending on your particular driving requirements. By using this unique interaction, the driver ceases to become desensitized in the way you would with a non-variable sound, leaving you looking for more time behind the wheel...
The system has a greater audible volume than the cat back offering, however, with careful design and development we have created a system that ensures that any unwanted in-car frequencies are removed, leaving you with a perfect drone-free experience, together with our characterful pop and burble, free-revving sound.
The primary use for the Powervalve Sport with cat delete pipe variant system, is the track or closed/privet road, as this product is illegal for road use.
As with virtually all of the TFSi engined vehicles, there is very little performance gain to be had from the cat-back system on its own, due to the incredibly restrictive downpipe and twin OEM cats. However, by opting for our unique downpipe and cat delete pipe the power potential will massively increase, firstly with an initial 22bhp kinetic, and then once mapped all the way up to stage 3 the following figures are achievable (along with suitable additional hardware...)

If you require more power from your A3 we recommend the 76mm (up to 400 bhp) or 90mm (400 bhp+) downpipe to go with this system.
The trim options for this product are
Lightning / Lightning Black Typhoon/Typhoon Black
As the original rubber mount for the center silencer is prone to wear in regards to its ability to support and prevent excessive movement, we recommend its replacement with the upgraded VW rubber as shown below.
