Q2

What materials are used in the Audi S7 exhaust system?

The Audi S7 exhaust system is constructed using high-grade stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The mufflers and resonators are designed with lightweight materials to reduce overall vehicle weight while maintaining structural integrity and performance.

Q3

How does the exhaust valve system work on the Audi S7?

The exhaust valve system on the Audi S7 is electronically controlled and adjusts based on driving conditions. In Comfort mode, the valves remain partially closed to reduce noise levels. In Dynamic mode, the valves open fully to enhance exhaust flow and produce a more aggressive sound. The system is managed by the Audi Drive Select system.

Q4

What is the diameter of the exhaust pipes on the Audi S7?

The primary exhaust pipes on the Audi S7 have a diameter of 70 mm (2.75 inches), while the secondary pipes leading to the tailpipes are 65 mm (2.56 inches) in diameter. These dimensions are optimized for efficient exhaust gas flow and performance.

Q5

Can the Audi S7 exhaust system be modified for aftermarket performance?

Yes, the Audi S7 exhaust system can be modified with aftermarket components, but this may void the vehicle's warranty.
