CNC-machined flanges match factory turbo discharge studs and downstream slip-fit joints precisely. Integrated factory-location oxygen sensor bungs retain stock sensor harnesses without splicing or extensions, delivering OEM-equivalent backpressure levels and sustained closed-loop lambda control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExhaust Gasket(s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2011-2017 Audi Q5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2.0L TFSI EA888 \/ 8R Chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e211-220 hp \/ 258 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e17694AP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Turbo (EA888 Gen 2 \/ 8R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the 8R Q5?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2017 Audi Q5 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e2.0L Turbo EA888\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eNot legal for sale, installation, or use on vehicles registered in California, New York, or other CARB-adopting states.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill I need to transfer my existing O2 sensors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the unit retains factory-located bungs, allowing direct installation of your stock primary and secondary heated oxygen sensors using OEM torque specs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Audi Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain precise Motronic engine management operation and emission compliance without false catalyst threshold trigger codes or costly dealership pipe replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911304937720,"sku":"DS-ERBRDI34A","price":294.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-audi-q5-2011-2017-2-0l-turbo-1.jpg?v=1793399511","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-audi-q5-2011-2017-2-0l-turbo","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
