Vorsprung Autowerk Test Pipes, Audi Q7 4M 3.0 Supercharged CREC 2017-2019

This is a PRE-ORDER for September. Please note, we are only offering a dual-layer performance heat-shielded version as we believe this is critical to maintaining the comfort and performance expectations of the Q7.

Unleash the Sound: Audi Q7 (4M) 3.0T Supercharged Test Pipes

Take your 4M Audi Q7 to the next level with the only dedicated test pipe solution currently on the market for this platform. Engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum exhaust flow and a raw, aggressive soundtrack from their supercharged V6, these pipes eliminate the primary restriction in your exhaust system.

Key Features

• Mandrel-Bent Perfection: Unlike modular designs that rely on multiple welded sections, our pipes feature a single mandrel-bent construction. This minimizes weld points, the common failure areas in exhaust systems, ensuring superior structural integrity and ultra-smooth internal airflow.

• Thermal Management: These are the only pipes in their class to feature dual-layer performance heat shielding. This integrated protection keeps engine bay temperatures down, protecting your sensitive electronics and hoses from the intense heat generated by high-performance driving.

• Heavy-Duty Build: While competitors often use thinner 1.5mm or 1.2mm tubing, our pipes are constructed from 2.0mm thick T304 stainless steel. This added thickness provides a deeper exhaust note and prevents the "tinny" rasp often associated with cheaper test pipes. These are fully tig-welded and back-purged.

• Complete Install Kit: No trips to the hardware store required. Every set includes all necessary gaskets and high-grade hardware to ensure a leak-free seal right out of the box.

Performance Benefits

By replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converters, you'll experience a significant reduction in backpressure. This translates to increased horsepower and torque throughout the powerband, and a transformational change in the 3.0T's acoustic profile.

Note: These test pipes are intended for off-road and track use only. Please check your local emissions regulations before installing.

Upgrade your 4M Q7 with the strongest, most heat-efficient test pipes available.

Test Pipes FAQ

Are these test pipes street legal?
No - these are catless test pipes intended for off-road/track use only and are not legal for street or highway use in any emissions-controlled jurisdiction. If you need to keep your Q7 street-legal, see our catted Sport Downpipes instead.

Will removing my catalytic converters trigger a check engine light?
Running catless can trigger catalyst-efficiency codes on some ECUs. Check with your tuner about a tune or O2 spacers if you plan to run catless long-term.

Will these fit my Q7?
These are built specifically for the Audi Q7 (4M) 3.0 Supercharged, CREC-spec models from 2017-2019.
