Video tutorial

In this video, we will see the most famous sports exhausts for the Audi A1: "Cat Black" (like the one in the video) only replaces the post-catalyst section. There is a gain of 5/8 hp and a deeper sound.

The "Downpipe" where the OEM catalyst is removed (only for OFF road use) which can however cause errors on the ECU. The "full system" from the turbine to the terminals achieves better performance, but is expensive. T304 stainless steel resists rust and heat, and has a lifespan of over 10 years.

Carbon steel is cheaper, but is subject to oxidation. The advantages of these exhausts are better performance, up to 30% lighter weight, and better sound.

But we must be careful of the criticisms, because only ECE R approvals are legal on the road in the EU. In addition, careless installation can damage the engine mounts.
