AWE Tuning Audi S5 (B8) Sportback 3.0TFSI Touring Edition Exhaust + Downpipes

Product Description

AWE Tuning Audi S5 Cabriolet 3.0TFSI Touring Edition Exhaust + Downpipes

Our 3.0T exhaust Systems represent one of the most difficult, yet most rewarding, exhaust development projects in our company history. The 3.0T systems have paved the way for future exhaust technologies that can now be found in most every AWE Tuning Exhaust product. We have spent considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and at part throttle cruising, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. Hand made in house one by one, these systems command respect. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once.

Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology
As exhaust gases exit the 3.0T engine and flow into an AWE Tuning 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 re-join the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.

Tip options
Tip options are as follows - all of which include the AWE Tuning logo, and double walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage.

• 90mm Slash Cut Diamond Black Tips
• 90mm Slash Cut Chrome Silver Tips

All tips are individually adjustable, so stagger and depth into bumper can be set according to personal taste.

Resonated or Non-Resonated?

We offer resonated and non-resonated exhaust systems. Our resonated exhaust systems (strongly recommended for S5 Sportback models) feature downpipes with resonators larger than the stock units in order to produce a mellow sound volume. Our non-resonated exhaust systems include downpipes that are suited for owners seeking a loud and aggressive sounding system. Both our resonated and non-resonated downpipe sections feature larger than stock tubing diameter.

Important Note: The non-resonated exhaust system is a loud system and buyers should be aware. The non-resonated exhaust systems cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.

Downpipe installation tip
Installing downpipes on these cars is arduous given the placement of the factory bolts. We had so much trouble that we made an AWE Tuning-grade tool to make it easier. If you're planning an install, our Downpipe Removal Tool is a must have.

Read this, too
As with all AWE Tuning exhaust products, each TIG weld is hand finished internally, and flange openings are size matched to their ports, all to produce the smoothest flow possible. It is this intensive attention to detail that sets AWE Tuning exhaust products heads and shoulders above the rest.
