Scorpion Audi RS3 8Y (Saloon) GPF/Cat-Back Exhaust System
Designed and manufactured by Scorpion’s experienced engineering team, this 80mm (3.15″) GPF-back exhaust system is tailored specifically for the Audi RS3 8Y. By replacing the standard exhaust pipework from the particulate filter backwards, it optimises exhaust gas flow and enhances the exhaust note for a more involving driving experience, all while maintaining a clean, OE-style fit and finish.
Resonated or Non-Resonated?
Choose the system to suit your driving style:
- Resonated (Quieter): Supplied with a centre silencer to combat drone on the motorway and give a more refined, grown up tone.
- Non-Resonated (Louder): Removes the centre silencer for a louder, more aggressive sound with a sharper character across the rev range.
Valved or Non-Valved?
Scorpion offers two valve configurations to match your driving preferences:
- Valved: Reuses the OEM valve motors, so the exhaust note still responds to the car’s drive mode select button. Switch between a quieter cruise and a more vocal spirited driving mode as standard.
-
Non-Valved: Removes valve functionality for a constant, uninterrupted exhaust tone. This option requires a valve delete module to prevent fault codes on the ECU.
Which Tailpipe Style?
Two tip options are available to suit your build:
- OE Trims: Reuses the original RS3 tailpipe trims for an OEM look.
- Carbon Fibre RS: A premium two piece floating oval design with a matte carbon fibre outer and brushed stainless inner sleeve, which keeps hot gases from damaging the carbon weave.
How Does It Improve Your RS3 8Y?
The acoustically tuned silencers feature Scorpion’s unique internals, paired with precision CNC mandrel bent pipework. Mandrel bending keeps the pipe’s internal diameter consistent through every bend, which helps gases leave the engine more efficiently. The result is improved exhaust flow, sharper throttle response, and a small reduction in kerb weight thanks to the full T304 lightweight stainless steel construction. Built to withstand year round UK conditions, all Scorpion systems are designed for long term durability and feature a lifetime warranty*.
While power gains on GPF equipped cars are typically modest compared to pre GPF models, owners can expect a clearer, more characterful exhaust note and a more responsive feel under acceleration. Of course when combining with other modifications and a remap gains can be much greater.
