IE’s catback exhaust is a complete performance upgrade that delivers an aggressive note from your iconic five-cylinder engine while freeing the exhaust flow for the highest power levels from any turbo setup. Let your 2.5L beast roar with the ultimate Audi RS3 exhaust system.
Leading Features
Creating a proper Motorsport exhaust system requires a delicate balance of flow and harmonics. Extensive engineering and testing have produced an unrestricted exhaust with an exhilarating symphony of engine sound without annoying rattles, drones, or reverb cabin noise.

Technology Meets Art
Cutting-edge engineering and craftsmanship have blended from design to manufacturing, delivering the highest quality surface finish, fit and material brightness. The exhaust tips feature horizontal, vertical, and depth adjustments so that you can perfect them precisely to your liking. Not only will your exhaust sound and perform amazing, but it will also look the part.
Engineered To Perform
Most aftermarket catback systems for the RS3 mimic the factory twin-pipe setup making it easy to connect to the downpipe. This approach works fine for stock to mildly tuned engines but struggles to keep up with the demands of aggressive calibrations and big turbo setups. The IE catback center pipe is a massive 3.5" straight-through pipe that splits into dual 3" pipes out the back with the valves open. This design provides the flow required to power even the largest power goals.
RS Style Tips
Stand out from the crowd with IE’s new updated RS-style oval black optics exhaust tips. These oversized tips fill the factory exhaust cutouts for that high-end supercar look.
Easy Sound Control
*Retains dynamic, comfort, individual, and auto modes.
Open Exhaust Valves
With the exhaust valves in their open setting (dynamic mode) the exhaust flows from the central 3.5" pipe into dual 3" pipes and directly out the back unrestricted. This setting offers the highest flow and loudest sound possible from your exhaust.
Closed Exhaust Valves
Cruising in comfort mode closes the dual exhaust valves forcing the exhaust to flow from the single 3.5" center pipe into the muffler and out of twin 2.5" pipes. This keeps the sporty exhaust note but dramatically reduces stock-like noise.
Precision Fit
IE engineers use 3D scanning tools to duplicate the vehicle’s underbody digitally. This provides an incredibly high-resolution environment to reverse engineer and rapidly prototype a performance exhaust that takes advantage of every millimeter of the available room and results in a perfect fit and easy installation.
Superb Craftsmanship
Each IE catback is manufactured from the highest standard 304L stainless steel, mandrel bent, and TIG welded by hand, using precise fixtures and tooling. IE takes great pride in knowing your new exhaust is built to last a lifetime.
Easy Installation
Install your IE catback without any permanent modifications or installation hassles. The installation process is straightforward and accomplished with standard mechanic tools. An auto-lift is highly recommended.

International orders ship via Economy International, with delivery typically 6–18 business days depending on destination and customs.
Delivery time depends on the product. Most in-stock parts ship within days, while carbon fiber and made-to-order items may require production time before they ship. For the specific timeline on any item, check the Availability & Shipping section on that product’s own page — the guide below covers our general shipping types.
Shipping Overview
Depending on the item, free air freight may be available for select carbon fiber components, with estimated shipping around 1–2 weeks after dispatch. Larger hoods, oversized body components, and certain made-to-order items may require sea freight and longer delivery windows. If timing is important, please contact us at support@eurospeed.co before placing your order.
Shipping Coverage
EuroSpeed ships to customers across the United States and internationally. Shipping is included in the price of eligible products for your convenience and covers the initial cost of delivery to your destination.
Import duties, taxes, clearance fees, or customs charges required by your destination country are not included and remain the recipient’s responsibility.
Order Processing & Fulfillment
Every order is reviewed, processed, and prepared before shipment. Most in-stock products are processed within 1–3 business days, though some orders may take up to 5 business days depending on fulfillment location, product type, order volume, or courier pickup timing.
EuroSpeed stocks select high-demand products at our U.S. facility and international fulfillment centers. Because our catalog includes many vehicle-specific and specialty parts, not every product is held in-house at all times.
Some orders may ship through our trusted fulfillment network, which may include verified manufacturing partners, authorized distributors, regional warehouses, and international fulfillment centers.
- Orders may ship from a U.S. warehouse, international warehouse, manufacturer, or authorized fulfillment partner.
- Some products may require additional handling, processing, production, or quality-check time before shipment.
- Orders enter fulfillment shortly after being placed and may no longer be eligible for cancellation once processing, production, or shipment preparation begins.
Custom, Made-To-Order & Oversized Items
Custom, made-to-order, and oversized product categories may include carbon fiber steering wheels, hoods, trunk lids, fenders, front lips, splitters, side skirts, diffusers, bumpers, body kits, widebody components, select spoilers, rear wings, and other large carbon fiber components.
Many carbon fiber items are made to order. Some products may already be stocked and ready to dispatch when available, but if inventory is unavailable, your purchase reserves the next available production slot instead of waiting for a separate restock listing.
Production time: Production can take 1–4 weeks depending on product type, selected options, finish, current queue, and quality-control timing.
Shipping time: Shipping can take 2–10 weeks depending on item size, freight method, destination, customs processing, carrier delays, warehouse transfers, and final delivery location. Carbon fiber steering wheels typically ship faster, with shipping usually taking 3–7 business days after dispatch.
By purchasing custom, made-to-order, or oversized items, you acknowledge and accept the extended production, fulfillment, and shipping timelines associated with these products.
Tracking Updates & Delays
All orders receive a tracking number once generated by the courier. Tracking may take 2–3 business days after dispatch to show movement in the courier’s system.
Certain international, oversized, or freight shipments may show limited updates during transfer between fulfillment locations, warehouses, customs, or final-mile carriers. In some cases, tracking is provided or begins updating once the item reaches a regional warehouse, local carrier, or final delivery network.
Shipping timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delays caused by high order volume, weather conditions, customs inspections, carrier disruptions, production queues, warehouse transfers, holidays, or other external factors may occur and are outside of EuroSpeed’s direct control. These delays do not qualify for cancellations or refunds unless the carrier officially marks the package as lost.
Delivery Responsibility
Upon delivery, carefully inspect the item for visible defects or damage before signing for it. If the item is damaged or not as expected, do not accept the package. Once a damaged or defective product is accepted, EuroSpeed cannot cover return shipping costs.
EuroSpeed is not liable for packages marked as delivered by the carrier. If a package is lost, stolen, or missing after being marked as delivered, the customer must file a claim directly with the shipping carrier. Our team will assist with available documentation when needed.
Shipping addresses typically cannot be changed once an order has been marked as shipped. If an address change is possible through the carrier, any carrier redirect, correction, or address-change fee will be the customer’s responsibility.
Please ensure your shipping address is entered correctly at checkout. Orders shipped to incorrectly provided addresses are the customer’s responsibility. EuroSpeed is not responsible for failed deliveries, additional shipping costs, lost packages, or refunds caused by incorrect shipping information, failure to accept delivery, or failure to collect a package from the post office or carrier pickup location within the required time frame.
Customs, Duties & Import Fees
EuroSpeed’s free shipping policy does not include import fees, taxes, duties, clearance charges, or other fees required by your destination country. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient, and EuroSpeed is not responsible for any duties or taxes requested by local customs.
Most shipments clear customs automatically through the shipping provider. However, if additional information is needed to complete the process, our team will assist where possible to help ensure a smooth resolution.
If customs clearance fails and the item is returned or destroyed:
- EuroSpeed reserves the right to deny refund claims.
- Returned items may incur return shipping fees, which will be deducted from any eligible refund.
- Items deemed too costly to return may be destroyed, and no refund will be issued if this occurs.
