Overview
The RS3/TTRS's factory exhaust manifold restricts flow from each cylinder of the EA855 five-cylinder before it reaches the turbo. This stainless steel header replaces the factory unit with improved flow geometry.
Why Upgrade?
- Improved exhaust flow geometry over the factory manifold
- 44mm EWG V Band
- 304 stainless steel construction
- Improved turbo response from reduced pre-turbo exhaust restriction
Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno
Exhaust manifold restriction happens before the turbo ever sees the gas — the factory unit on the EA855 is shaped for manufacturing cost and packaging, not flow. Fixing the very first bottleneck in the exhaust path matters more than its size suggests, especially on a five-cylinder where even cylinder spacing makes manifold geometry harder to get right.
