Free up horsepower easily without sacrificing comfort with the ECS Vacuum Actuated Exhaust Cutouts! A simple modification that allows you to flip between the factory exhaust routing through the full system or dumped out the open valve when you need extra performance.

No welding required, instant power, and a fraction the cost of a full exhaust system makes this the perfect upgrade for your German performance car.

Why let the S4 and S5 have all the fun when the B9 SQ5 has all the performance potential and even more convenience? Our new B9 SQ5 X-Pipe will have your sporty SUV producing the noise it deserves and delivering the giddy excitement you will love every time you put your foot down on the throttle.

Our new Center X-Pipe resonator delete will give your Q5 the aggressive tone it deserves and make those commutes even more fun.

Boring, torn and deteriorating cloth battery covers can leave your engine bay looking a little outdated and in need of something more. If your battery cover is in need of replacement or if your engine bay could use a touch of beauty then we have you COVERED!

Upgrading your MQB VW or Audi with a Front Mount Intercooler is an effective way to decrease charge-air temperatures and increase performance potential but that also requires you to retain the original intercooler since that carries the A/C condenser, radiator, and fan shroud. Naturally, that reduces the airflow to your radiator and robs you of optimal efficiency. Our new OEM Intercooler Delete Brackets allow you to ditch that old intercooler while retaining your radiator, condenser, and fan shroud for a sleek, lightweight, and free-flowing performance intercooler upgrade.

The new ECS Audi B9 RS5 Kohlefaser & Luft-Technik Cold Air Intake Systems are precision engineered by our in-house Engineering Team and tested on our RS5 for long term quality and real world benefits, resulting a 27.8% increase in flow rate compared to the stock intake. Available in two versions, the Kohlefaser features a one piece, hand laid carbon lid that staves off engine bay heat, maintaining consistent power production while producing a dramatic underhood improvement. The Luft-Technik is made with CNC-bent aluminum and seals to the bottom of the hood for repeat power delivery.

We've all found ourselves using highly "creative" methods for separating or removing parts in the midst of an intense project. Some methods do work... but usually at the expense of personal injury and a few broken or damaged parts. So why not start with the right tool? The Schwaben Open Barrel Crimping/Stripping Pliers feature hard-to-find open barrel crimp option used on many German cars.

Raise the level of style on your pre-facelift B9 Audi S4 or A4 S-Line with the ECS Tuning Gloss Black Rear Bumper Side Splitters (Spats). Made of UV stabilized gloss black polymer, this quality addition was engineered and designed in-house to fit directly to your factory rear bumper cover. These were designed to provide the vehicle with a more aggressive look by accentuating the boring area on the side of the bumper, providing bold, aggressive styling. An exclusive design only available through ECS Tuning, these will be sure to catch attention and turn heads.

The TTRS and RS3 are severely restricted from the factory. If you want insane power figures, you need the new 034Motorsport Cast Stainless Steel Downpipe.

Make no compromises to your MK7 or 8v A3 with your next suspension upgrade.

Turning up the boost in your B9 S4 is all fun and games until you blow a charge pipe coupler. The restrictive plastic charge pipes rob power and aren’t meant to handle more than stock boost levels which is why we have created a solution. Our brand new Post Throttle Valve Performance Charge Pipe Kit is designed to hold more boost, eliminate restrictions, and look excellent doing it.

The MQB platform is full of potential and easily supports incredible horsepower with just a few bolt-on upgrades. 034Motorsport has been a staple in the VW/Audi tuning community for years and once again has provided the fastest path with the least resistance to improving your engine’s performance. With their new Insuction Bundle, you can upgrade your turbo inlet pipe, turbo inlet hose, and air filter for maximum flow and performance all at once, saving you time and money for an easy drop-in upgrade that retains all the factory fitment.

When you are driving your 8V.5 RS3 or 8S to the ragged edge, the factory-equipped DSG breather vent can allow transmission fluid to overflow and splash out, which is less than ideal. 034Motorsport has crafted a solution that is both effective and attractive. Their new Billet Aluminum DSG Breather Catch Can Kit will catch any transmission fluid as it tries to overflow and return it back to the system while allowing the transmission to vent as it should, all from a stealthy and high-quality package that won’t look like an afterthought.
