Audi Q7 3.0T Downpipes, Resonated (4M 2017-2019 Supercharged)
Audi Q7 3.0T Resonated Downpipes for the 4M Supercharged V6
Want your 2017-2019 Audi Q7 3.0T to sound like it means it, without turning every road trip into a drone endurance test? Our resonated Q7 downpipes replace the factory downpipes on the 4M Q7 3.0T supercharged V6 (CREC engine) with 2.5-inch mandrel-bent 304L stainless and large straight-through resonators. Bold on throttle, calm at cruise.
Born from necessity. The factory pipes on our own 4M Q7 test mule started rattling apart. Instead of buying the same OE design again (and paying the Audi Tax for the privilege), we built pipes that flow better, sound better, and keep the Q7's family-hauler manners intact.
What You Get
- ✅ Large straight-through resonators: a deeper, sportier tone that settles down at highway speed. Minimal drone, no rasp.
- ✅ 2.5-inch mandrel-bent tubing: smooth bends with no crushed sections for better exhaust flow.
- ✅ 304L stainless steel: corrosion resistant and built for years of heat cycles and road salt.
- ✅ V-band connections: tight-sealing joints that come apart cleanly when you need them to.
- ✅ Factory cats stay in place: these are not catted and they don't delete anything. They replace the pipes after the catalytic converters.
- ✅ Direct bolt-in fit: matches the factory mounting points. No cutting, no welding.
- ✅ No tune required to install.
Name-brand resonated downpipes for the 4M Q7 list for around $1,200. Ours are $699.99, designed and tested on our own Q7.
Bottom line: the grown-up way to wake up a supercharged Q7. Your passengers keep their hearing, and you finally get to hear the V6.

Vehicle Fitment
Fits the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Audi Q7 (4M chassis) with the 3.0T supercharged V6, engine code CREC, sold in North America as the Q7 3.0 TFSI quattro. Not for the 2.0T Q7, the 3.0 TDI, the 2020 and newer Q7 55 TFSI (turbocharged EA839), or the earlier 4L Q7.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audi | Q7 3.0T quattro | 2017-2019 | 4M | 3.0T V6 Supercharged (CREC) |
NOTE: Years shown are North American model years. Outside North America, or if you're not sure which engine your Q7 has, email your VIN to help@vorsprungautowerk.com and we'll confirm fitment before you order. These downpipes are not catted; check your local emissions and inspection rules before installing any exhaust part.
Resonated or Non-Resonated?
Same pipes, same fit, different volume. The resonated set gives you a deeper tone that stays calm at highway cruise, which is the right call for a daily-driven family SUV. Want it louder? The non-resonated Q7 downpipes skip the resonators for a more aggressive sound, and they cost $100 less. Our Q7 3.0T resonated vs non-resonated downpipes comparison covers sound and drone side by side.
Audi Q7 3.0T Downpipes FAQ
Will these downpipes fit my 2017, 2018 or 2019 Audi Q7?
Yes, if it's the 3.0T supercharged V6 (4M chassis, CREC engine). They do not fit the 2.0T, the 3.0 TDI, or the 2020 and newer turbocharged Q7 55 TFSI.
Are these catted or catless?
Neither, technically. They don't contain catalytic converters, and they don't remove yours. They replace the factory pipes after the catalytic converters, so the factory cats stay on the car. Check your local emissions and inspection rules before installing.
Will resonated downpipes drone on the highway?
The large straight-through resonators are there to keep cruise-speed drone to a minimum while still giving you a deeper, sportier tone under throttle.
Do I need a tune?
No tune is required to install them. If you're stacking them with a ported supercharger, pulley or other mods, a tune helps you get the most from the added flow.
What diameter and material are they?
2.5-inch mandrel-bent 304L stainless steel with V-band connections.
Is installation difficult?
They bolt to the factory mounting points with no cutting or welding. A lift makes the job much easier, and any competent Audi shop can install them.
