Vorsprung HEH Headers V2, Audi Supercharged V6 3.0T
V2 is here! Tired of everyone selling the exact same marked up header? We were too. So we built a higher flowing, equal length, heavy duty header... and called it the HEH. You deserve better. We deserve better. Vorsprung. 💪
Expertly designed and crafted, Vorsprung Audi 3.0T Supercharged Headers (B8/B8.5 S4 and S5, B8/B8.5 Q5 and SQ5, C7/C7.5 A6 and A7, and D4 A8) offer a precise fit and exceptional performance. Made with reinforced inner welds, tig welding, and back purging, these headers ensure durability and high-quality results. Equipped with standard heat shielding or dual quartz wool insulation and a metal heat shield, they provide maximum thermal protection for optimal engine efficiency.
Available Options:
- OE-style Heat Shielding with ceramic inner liner option – signature VORSPRUNG thermal management feature that reduces radiant heat from the exhaust pipes up to 70-80%. Being inspired by racecar engineers who use this technology, these separate us from other manufacturers selling single layer metal heat shielding. Usual thermal wraps or ceramic coatings are not even close in effectiveness and durability to our Heat Shielding. Please be aware of fake shielding when it is nothing but foil wrapped around the pipe. Without a sufficient thickness and pattern and/or ceramic wool layer inside and properly embossed foil it will not work as expected.
Main features:
- Internally reinforced flanges
- Significant power gain 30+hp
- Reducing under-hood temperature
- Flow-optimised smooth transition design
- Get rid of rasp with a louder more aggressive tone
- Bolt-on installation
- All hardware included
- Compatible with both OEM and aftermarket downpipes
- 100% handcrafted
- 100% TIG welded and back purged
- 321L stainless steel
- CNC machined to OEM specs 321L SS flanges
- Replaces manifold and test pipe section

A4 NOTE: The A4 was never sold with the supercharged 3.0T in North America. The European-market B8.5 A4 3.0 TFSI (2012-2015) uses the same EA837 engine, so confirm your engine code before ordering.
S5 / A5 NOTE: 2010-2012 fitment is the S5 Cabriolet only (the 2008-2012 S5 coupe has the 4.2 V8). The A5 was never sold with the supercharged 3.0T in North America; the European-market B8.5 A5 3.0 TFSI (2012-2016) uses the same EA837 engine, so confirm your engine code before ordering.
NOTE: OFF-ROAD/MOTORSPORT USE ONLY. This product is not designed to meet any emissions standards and is not certified or legal for street or highway use on emissions-controlled vehicles in any country/jurisdiction.
Complete Your Build
Headers are frequently paired with:
- High Flow Cats: keep catalysts in place while freeing up flow downstream.
- 3.0T Supercharged Test Pipes V2 — for track/off-road builds running fully catless.
- Ported Supercharger Service — pair added exhaust flow with a ported supercharger case.
- TruDrive Crank Pulley — more boost to make use of the extra flow.
HEH Headers V2 FAQ
How much power do these headers add?
Vorsprung HEH Headers V2 are rated for a significant power gain (30+ hp) over the restrictive factory manifolds, thanks to their equal-length, flow-optimized design.
Are these emissions legal?
No. HEH Headers V2 are sold for off-road/motorsport use only and are not certified for street or highway use in any emissions-controlled jurisdiction. Check your local emissions and inspection rules before installing any exhaust part.
Will I need a tune?
Headers alone don't require a dedicated tune, but if you're stacking them with a ported supercharger, pulley, or downstream exhaust changes, we recommend a tune to make full use of the added flow.
What's included?
All hardware needed for a bolt-on install is included, no additional gaskets or fasteners to source separately.
Will this fit my Audi?
