{"product_id":"4212721","title":"ECS Tuning Center X-Pipe Kit - Audi B8 Q5 \/ SQ5 3.0T","description":"\u003cp\u003eChange the tone of your Audi B8 Q5 3.0T exhaust with an easy-to-install upgrade from ECS Tuning! The ECS Tuning Center X-Pipe installs in place of the resonator located in the middle of the factory exhaust system to increase exhaust note and allow for better flow of exhaust gases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engineers at ECS Tuning have designed a direct fit dual exhaust pipe featuring an X cross section in the center to balance exhaust pulses and increase expulsion of spent exhaust gases from the engine. But more importantly, installation of the Center X-Pipe increases the factory exhaust system note exponentially giving a more tuned European sound. The ECS X-pipe is fully CNC mandrel bent from high quality 304 stainless steel, TIG welded with smooth merged pipe joints for optimal flow, and finished off with a soft brushed finish for exceptional looks. Installation is a breeze and can be easily performed with the vehicle lifted on proper jack stands in your own driveway. Our in-depth installation PDF, located under the Installation Tab, walks you through everything from proper measurement, cutting, and install to ensure a perfect fit to your OEM exhaust. We've even included a complete set of clamps to make sure everything is properly installed without worry of leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead over to our YouTube channel for a comparison video @ ECS Tuning!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55mm 304 Stainless Steel with 1.25mm wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered and tested in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision CNC mandrel bent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes OE hanger position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIG welded joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds increased tuned European sound with minimal interior dB\/drone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all necessary exhaust clamps for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill NOT cause CEL (Check Engine Light)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*See install PDF below.  Installation requires cutting of the OEM exhaust using an exhaust pipe cutter, reciprocating saw, or other similar tool.
