Performance Gains
The all-new AAM Competition Q50/Q60 Cast Widemouth Full Downpipes are the most effective bolt-on modification available!
Gain up to 50 hp on 300HP models and up to 25 hp on Red Sport models with no additional modifications required (though we recommend using the AAM Competition 3.0T Q50S 3” True Dual Exhaust System to create the ultimate exhaust setup).
You will also notice drastically improved turbo spool and throttle response, completely transforming the car’s performance and driving characteristics.
Engineering & Construction
The all-new AAM Competition Q50/Q60 Cast Widemouth Full Downpipes have been engineered for true OEM-like fitment, and require no modification to surrounding components.
The AAM Competition Q50/Q60 3.0T Cast Widemouth Full Downpipes perform better and are not prone to cracking like the alternatives offered by the competition - due to the fully CAD designed wide cast primary section. By casting the primary portion of the downpipes and having an integrated V-Band that connects to the factory turbocharger, rather than a welded v-band, we've significantly increased durability.
Many downpipes fail at the weld located at the v-band that connects to the turbocharger, as welded seams are prone to failure in high heat. By utilizing a one piece widemouth cast design in robust 304 Stainless Steel the AAM Competition Q50/Q60 3.0T Cast Widemouth Full Downpipes also have an advantage by not being limited by the design restraints of hand fabricated construction.
3D Cad software is utilized to blueprint the inlet and outlets with smoother features and geometry to optimize exhaust flow. Not only do the widemouth cast primary portion of the downpipes increase exhaust flow over the competition, they also allow the AAM Competition Q50/Q60 3.0T Cast Widemouth Full Downpipes to withstand the intense heat cycles they are forced to endure - significantly increasing reliability.
