could i run a testpipe file on a b8 s4 if i have high flow jhm cats that are relocated further down the stream?
You can, but we advise not putting the car into Dynamic mode on Audi Drive Select to disable crackle overrun
If I were to run gutted cats and a test pipe file in combination, would the car throw a CEL/O2 code or would the tune compensate for the gutted cats and not throw either of the codes?
It would not throw a CEL.
The test pipe files are for racing use only.
what would happen if somebody installed the testpipe file with cats?
Damage to the catalyst will occur. If high flow catalysts are used (for racing use only), we recommend using the test pipe file with the vehicle only in "Comfort" mode on Audi Drive Select
Will this work with downpipes on 2013 a6? I have your stage 1 tune ECU and TCU.
Downpipes are not catalysts.
Hello. Im currently 034 stg 2+ with OEM cats and exhaust. Recently had codes for bank 1 and 2 linear oxygen lambda sensor pump current trim circuit, p2629 and p2626. The engine started to run badly and no power. I'm told these codes follow cat failure sometimes? I've done about 3k miles since stage 2+.
Do you have any other insights into these codes other than possible cat failure?
I have new coil, plugs and recently walnut blasted intake and replaced SC coolers and all new gaskets. Pcv and thermostat have been changed in the past. No misfire codes and runs well normally until now.

Is it okay for me to run the non-testpipe tune with the testpipes installed whenever I don't want to be shooting flames/racing?
You can simply run the testpipe file in comfort mode, or run our no-crackle file if you prefer that
Is it possible to do test pipe file afterwards? Or will it need new software?
Test pipe files come with the purchase of our software. You're able to flash to the test pipe file whenever you like
Does the test pipe file turn off SAI? - If so is it possible to physically delete the combi valves/associated SAI hardware?
The SAI function is turned off, but not removed, and the its components must remain installed on our tune. Additionally, not all test pipe files remove SAI
If I got “ test pipel” can I still pass emission in AZ?
Also when I go To the emission shop can I keep the current stage on the car n pass? Or do I go back to factor setting for that little duration?
You will not be able to pass emissions with our test pipe file. You will have to revert back to stock in order to pass.
@@034MotorsportUncut thank you for responding. I appreciate it, and I look forward to buying more items from you
I saw a video of a s4 with advanced launch no cats that shot some flames can that be done to a a6 with same engine ?
Yes, it is available for the C7 A6.
Hello! Back again, is there a power difference in having a test pipe vs not?
There are no power differences between these two files.
I’m from uk is a testpipe basically just a decat or sports catalytic converter ?
Test pipes mean a decat (for racing use only)
Is this the same for the b8.5 s5? I have the stage 1 factory cats file currently, would i be able to change the file without having to purchase something else?
For racing use
The same goes for the S5 as it shares the same motor with the B8/B8.5 S4. If you purchased our software, you should have access to all of our available octane files, and testpipe/non-testpipe files.

Do i need o2 spacers when running test pipes with the test pipes file?
02 spacers are not needed and we recommend against the usage of spacers on our tuning software
Where are the test pipe files? Is it included with the trans tune or stage 2+ ECU?
Test Pipe Files are included with ECU tuning for racing use only.
Can I run any of your E85 files with stock cats on my B9 S5?

Is it okay to run test pipe with the basic stage 1 file?
Yes, we do offer test-pipe files for all Stages. These files are for sanctioned racing use only.
Is the test pipe tune available without a stage 1 or stage 2 tune?
They are available on Stage 1, 2, & 2+ for racing use only
So if I was to get the stage1+ testifies tune I would need a decat
Correct! (for racing use only)
Can I use test pipe file on gutted cats
Yes, for racing use only.
