<summary>Frequently asked questions</summary>
<p><strong>What is an S58 2-in-1 midpipe?</strong><br />A 2-in-1 midpipe merges the twin-exit S58 downpipe outputs into a single large-bore tube before the rear silencer, delivering a more unified exhaust tone and improved flow versus separate parallel tubes – popular for track-focused G80/G82/G83 builds.</p>
<p><strong>Which models does the S58 2-in-1 midpipe fit?</strong><br />The S58 2-in-1 midpipe fits the BMW G80 M3, G82 M4 Coupe, G83 M4 Convertible, and G87 M2 Competition (S58). Please verify your chassis before ordering.</p>
<p><strong>Will this increase cabin drone?</strong><br />Catless 2-in-1 midpipes produce a more aggressive exhaust character. At motorway speeds, some additional resonance is present but is generally manageable, especially with a quality rear silencer.</p>
<p><strong>Can I use this with the OEM rear silencer?</strong><br />Yes, the Blaze S58 2-in-1 midpipe connects to the OEM rear silencer and is fully compatible with the factory rear exhaust.</p>

<summary>Vehicle fitment guide</summary>
<p><strong>Fits Audi RS3 8V.1 and TTRS 8S with the 2.5 TFSI EVO2 (EA855 DAZA) engine</strong>, pre-facelift cars 2017+.</p>
<p><strong>Confirmed fitment:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Engine platform:</strong> EA855 EVO2 2.5 TFSI — engine code DAZA  |  <strong>Includes:</strong> downpipe + midpipe assembly with heat shield</p>
<p><strong>RS3 8V.2 facelift (2020–2022) or 8Y (2022+)?</strong> Those use the newer DNWA engine variant — not compatible with this DAZA-specific downpipe. We&#8217;re working on coverage for those platforms.</p>

<details class="blaze-section">
<summary>About this downpipe</summary>
<p>The Blaze RS3 / TTRS downpipe + midpipe assembly replaces the restrictive factory exhaust front section on every DAZA-coded RS3 8V.1 and TTRS 8S. The factory unit&#8217;s pre-cat and primary cat severely choke the 5-cylinder&#8217;s distinctive sound and exhaust flow.</p>
<p>Two-piece downpipe + midpipe construction in stainless steel with integrated heat shield. OEM flange geometry at the turbo end and the cat-back end — direct bolt-on with no fabrication.</p>
<p><strong>Tune required.</strong> Without a tune the car will throw a check engine light. Any major Audi 2.5 TFSI tuner (APR, Unitronic, MRC Tuning, IE, Revo) clears the code and unlocks full benefit.</p>

<details class="blaze-section">
<summary>Frequently asked questions</summary>
<p><strong>How do I know if I have the DAZA engine?</strong><br />DAZA is the engine code for the 2017–2020 RS3 8V.1 (pre-facelift) and 2017+ TTRS 8S. The engine code is stamped on the cam cover and listed in your VIN decode under engine designation. If you have a 2020.5+ RS3 with the 8V.2 facelift body, you likely have the newer DNWA engine and this part won&#8217;t fit.</p>
<p><strong>Does it fit my RS3 8Y or facelift 8V.2?</strong><br />No — both use the newer DNWA engine which has different exhaust routing.</p>
<p><strong>Do I need a tune?</strong><br />Yes — without a tune, the missing cats trigger a CEL. Any major Audi 2.5 TFSI tuner (APR, Unitronic, MRC Tuning, IE, Revo) clears it.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s in the box?</strong><br />The downpipe, the midpipe, integrated heat shield, OEM-spec gaskets, and mounting hardware.</p>
<p><strong>Is this legal on public roads?</strong><br />This is a catless off-road / race exhaust. Road-legality depends on your country and local emissions requirements. Buyer is responsible for confirming legal use in their jurisdiction.</p>
