The Options:

Touring Edition Exhaust

The best just got better. ; ;

Signature AWE howl, delivered. The Touring Edition is the sophisticated member of the S5 Sportback exhaust family.

The Touring Edition Exhaust removes the factory valving and replaces it with AWE's 180 Technology drone-cancelling resonators (and electronic valve simulators). This solution provides for a perfect, signature AWE experience: civil within the cabin while cruising, yet all the pops and burbles during acceleration and downshifts.

The Touring Edition Exhaust comes complete with 180 Technology resonators, a precision-engineered x-pipe, Sportback-specific mid merge, non-resonated downpipes, and your choice of 90 or 102mm tips in either diamond black or chrome silver.

Sound Perfection: AWE 180 Technology

Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology.

As exhaust gases exit the 3.0T engine and flow into an AWE 180 Technology equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers.

The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. Cool, right? Learn more on AWE's 180 Technology in the tab above.

Exhaust configurations recommended for use with aftermarket catalysts: ;

Given the increase of airflow when introducing an aftermarket catalyst, special resonators were developed to keep sound frequencies in check. These larger resonators are included in exhaust configurations labeled as Resonated for Performance Catalyst, ;and available independently (to be added to existing AWE exhausts) via the Resonator Conversion Kit. ;

Please note: exhausts labeled Resonated for Performance Catalyst and the Resonator Conversion Kit are recommended ;to be used with ;an aftermarket catalyst.

Track Edition Exhaust

For those who like it loud, go Track.

The Track Edition Exhaust is equipped with the same precision-engineering as its Touring Edition and SwitchPath counterparts, minus the 180 Technology resonators or valve mufflers in the rear. Instead, the Track Edition comes with non-resonated downpipes and straight pipe sections. The precision-engineered x-pipe and Sportback-specific mid merge are the only filters.

This version is known to get rowdy, and may be too much for many. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself.

SwitchPath Exhaust

The SwitchPath valved solution is for those who want complete control of their S5 Sportback's volume and tone, at their fingertips.

The SwitchPath Exhaust comes complete with non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe, Sportback-specific mid merge, and two valved muffler sections which can be controlled via the SwitchPath Remote.

Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valve closed.

Ready to rumble? Open the valve and let them know you're coming. ; ;

Note: we highly recommend and encourage pairing the SwitchPath Exhaust with the SwitchPath Remote versus using the factory operation for the best SwitchPath experience.

The Mid Merge

The Sportback introduced new in-cabin accoustic behavior and undercar packaging that wasn't found on the other members of the B9 trio. In order to produce a signature AWE tone out of the 3.0T-powered S5 Sportback while engineering around the unique undercarriage, the mid merge was born. Deployment of the mid merge allows the Sportback configurations to exist without any of resonators, thus ensuring the full, sophisticated howl of the 3.0T engine will never change over time.

Tip Options

All tip options include the AWE logo, and double-walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.

• 102mm or 90mm diamond black tips
• 102mm or 90mm chrome silver tips

What's in the box?
