Not just any down pipes. I wouldn't go with anything other than AWE. They do some really good quality work. That is assuming they release down pipes for the sq5. I have met a few people with awe exhaust and down pipes on their s model audis and I've only heard that they put out high quality durable products.

Downpipes are for turbo applications (engine to header to uppipe (if applicable) to turbo to downpipe to catalytic converter to post-cat exhaust piping to muffler).

The vehicle is supercharged. You want a header-back exhaust setup.

I hear what ur saying and I do agree that downpipes are a better fit for turbos. But it's not like it's totally useless on a supercharged car. What it really is, is that I've seen and heard awe exhausts and they're just amazing in my opinion. They sell their exhausts in packages with their downpipes and I figured I would get the whole package and not deal with separate companies between my exhaust and header/downpipes.

Okay, I see what they're calling a downpipe. I've been used to turbo and N/A one piece header applications. Not used to seeing the connector tube between the header and CAT.

Going resonated? Car sounds awesome so far!

Yeah I guess it's a bit different. I haven't decided on if I want res or not. But thanks supercharger sounds good just need the exhaust to keep up with the charger haha

How in the world do you figure 440hp...? Are you running 100 octane?

No I'm running 93. Apr stage 2 plus pulley yields 420 according to APRs multiple dyno runs. They claim the stage 2 intake adds an additional 15+ horsepower. I'm going off APRs numbers. Running 100 the car would be over 460hp as they claim stage2 and pulley yield 445 hp from 100 oct. So with the 15+ from the stage 2 intake it would be 460+

You may very well be running 440+ but modifications are not additive. They need to be measured as a package not by the sum of their individual claimed gains. Any plans to hit the track?
