All relevant fittings and gaskets are supplied. (Except turbo clamp).

Press Release
Cars of the calibre of Audi's S3 require more careful consideration prior to development of a performance enhancing exhaust system. Both Cobra Sport's Technical and Research and Development teams were involved in the planning and preparation that went into the product testing and development of this new system to ensure that the correct balance was achieved between aesthetics and power to make the most of the S3's 2.0 TFSi engine.
The Cobra Sport system delivers significant power increases, but its glory has to be in the weight saving achieved. Swapping the Cat-back system results in a staggering 30% reduction in weight from the OE system's 26.9kg, with the Cobra Sport alternative weighing in at 18.8kg on like for like components.
You can be assured of only the highest quality materials being used in the production of all Cobra Sports exhaust systems with the highest quality grade 304 stainless steel used throughout the components and each exhaust being hand finished and individually TIG welded at our Sheffield factory. The levels of quality achieved enables us to offer a lifetime guarantee on all exhaust systems which provides the ultimate piece of mind for the customer.
The Cobra Sport's quad exit system benefits from a choice angled tailpipes which can be finished in either matt black or original highly polished stainless steel. The end result of this attention to detail, is an ultra-lightweight system which compliments the S3's body styling and sporting pedigree while delivering enhanced performance and handling capabilities.
