The CTS Turbo test pipe for Audi A4/A5/Allroad/Q5 B8/B8.5 is designed as a direct replacement for the restrictive factory catalytic converter mounted directly behind the turbocharger. It is made from 3-inch stainless steel tubing with smooth mandrel-bent curves, two ports for O2 sensors and an additional port for a third sensor.
The turbocharger outlet measures almost 4″ before narrowing to 3″. This design allows exhaust gases to flow smoothly from the turbocharger into the test pipe. Each pipe is mandrel-bent and TIG hand-welded.
