Question of parts compatibility for A5
I recently bought a 2015 Audi A5 2.0 tfsi Quattro sportback. I was looking at doing some things to the car, namely the air intake for now and possibly an exhaust. The thing is where I'm at(Melbourne) the A5 is not a popular car, at least in relative comparison to the A3/S3, A4/S4 so there aren't many performance parts going for sale for it locally, ornate least I'm having trouble trying to find them.
From what I understand, the same 2.0 engine is used in the in other Audi and Volkswagen cars as well. So my question is, with which other car are those parts directly interchangeable (namely air intake and exhaust). Also I've seen some sites specify exhausts for cabrio/couple/sportback models in the description. Do I have to pick the right one or would it be a generic fit?
I did some searching but haven't seen to find a definitive answer so any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

The A3 is a transverse mounted VW. The A4 and A5 are similar vehicles, longitudinal mounted Audi. But the sportback has the wheelbase of the 4-door models, which is 2" longer than the 2-door models.

So see where things are different or the same between the four body styles and where things are the same, replacements should be similar too. If you want to be sure, then the item should clearly define it as appropriate for the 8T sportback, with whatever engine code you have. "2.0" is far too generic to check engine compatibility.
