Fabspeed Audi R8 V10 Valvetronic Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust System (2016 - 2018)

Product Overview

Fabspeed’s Audi R8 V10 Valvetronic Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust System (2016–2018) is engineered to transform your 5.2L V10 with aggressive tone on demand, while preserving everyday civility. This fully valved cat-back retains the R8’s factory valve controls and sheds 30 lbs over the stock muffler. Pair with an ECU tune for dyno-proven gains of +53 whp and +47 ft-lbs at 5850 RPM (valves open). Fabricated from 14–16ga T304L stainless steel in-house at Fabspeed, it provides two distinct exhaust personalities—one sophisticated for cruising, one fierce for track-inspired exhilaration.

Valves Closed

Exhaust flows through a 63.5mm quad-resonated X-pipe designed to balance and refine pulses. This yields a smoother, exotic pitch perfect for city driving or highway cruising—all without drone.

Valves Open

Exhaust bypasses the X-pipe via 70mm dump tubes, unleashing the full V10 fury: a high-pitched wail accompanied by pops and crackles on deceleration. Expect an unmistakably aggressive note and amplified performance feel.
