Audi S5 / A5 B9 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V2 Rear Diffuser

Audi S5/A5 B9 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V2 Rear Diffuser

Engineered for Audi S5/A5 B9 pre-facelift (2016-2019) owners who want track-grade aggression, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V2 Rear Diffuser transforms the rear of your coupé, sportback, or cabriolet with motorsport-derived V-cut geometry while sharpening its aerodynamic character. Made to factory-spec mounting tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi S5/A5 B9 carbon V2 rear diffuser bolts directly to OEM mounting points: no cutting, no drilling, no modification required.

If you're building a serious Audi A5/S5 B9 tuning project and want a part that goes well beyond the factory plastic diffuser, this V2 dry carbon rear diffuser is for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber is noticeably lighter than wet-lay carbon parts, with superior structural integrity and outstanding UV resistance. Designed to complement the S5 B9's 3.0 TFSI V6 single-turbo (354 hp) and the A5 B9's 2.0 TFSI EA888 four-cylinder, this aggressive V2 V-cut geometry is the ideal aesthetic and functional upgrade for both daily and show use.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure for homogeneous resin distribution and a consistent weave.
• Aggressive V2 V-Cut Geometry: Distinct from our standard flat-fin S5/A5 B9/B9.5 rear diffuser, the V2 features deep V-cut channels for a true motorsport look.
• High Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight, resisting stone chips and light contact.
• Aerodynamic Performance: Optimized diffuser channels guide underbody airflow and aid rear-axle stability at high speeds.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory Audi A5/S5 B9 pre-facelift (2016-2019) rear bumper mounts.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, fuel splash, and road tar.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon: Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature, which can leave air voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg dry carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• Made with a controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

Installing the Audi S5/A5 B9 carbon V2 diffuser is a direct replacement of the factory part. Professional installation is recommended:

1. Raise the vehicle and remove rear bumper underbody screws.
2. Detach the OEM plastic diffuser from clips and bolts.
3. Test-fit the carbon V2 diffuser for alignment.
4. Secure with supplied hardware to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Verify exhaust tips are centered in diffuser cutouts (S5: quad oval; A5: single/dual).

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from surface.

FAQ

Does this fit the B9.5 facelift (2019-2024)?
No. The 2019 facelift changed the rear bumper geometry. A separate B9.5 diffuser is available.

Does this fit the RS5 B9?
