Default Got my stasis!!!

It was pretty cheap so I ordered and installed as soon as it arrived

It is very well made and never saw exhaust system that fits so well.

Now I need to do suspension....


By the way anyone know if 255/45/19 will fit in my stock 19"??

How is the sound? I ordered one too and mine arrived on Friday, but it won't be installed until Monday. I'm pretty excited. I've seen some of the youtube video clips of people with B8 2.0T exhaust upgrade from Stasis and I love the sound. What are your impressions?

What are your plans for the suspension?

Default Tires

255/45-19 would fit, but the "right" sizing to keep just about the same overall diameter as any of the stock choices would be 255/50-19. 255/45 is the sizing for 20's, so the tire will be shorter than normal in a 19 to get to the right overall Q5 diameter.

Its pretty awesome.. it is not that loud though... had bmw before and that exhaust was loud.

do you know if 255/50/19 would fit without hitting the strut brace? i looked at looks like it has very little room.

Default Search the boards, but it’s been done

First, check the tire diameter spec on something like TireRack for the tire you are interested in in 255/50-19, and against the tire spec of what’s on your car now. You should find them to be pretty much the same. Separately, if you search folks have done it per posts I’ve seen over time. I would be comfortable doing it on my own if 255’s in 19 were my direction, and I think it’s the best stock fit for the Q5 diameter at that width.
