Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 12-15 Audi A6 Quattro (3.0) Exhaust System Kit is a precision-engineered cat back exhaust built specifically for the 3.0T-powered A6. As a Touring Edition catback exhaust, it’s designed to deliver a refined, cruise-friendly character at part throttle and an unmistakably purposeful voice the moment you drop the hammer. Constructed from T304L stainless steel, this performance exhaust is built to withstand the heat, vibration, and hard use that comes with a spirited drive, making it a serious upgrade over a tired factory car exhaust.
180 Technology and Drone Control
The centerpiece of this AWE exhaust system is 180 Technology, AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution. It’s engineered to combat the boomy resonance many performance exhaust systems produce at cruising speeds, so the cabin stays comfortable on the highway while still letting the 3.0T sing under acceleration. For those chasing the ultimate drone-free experience, AWE recommends pairing the optional Resonated Downpipes (available separately) with this Touring Edition exhaust for an even more mellow, controlled sound volume.
Tips and Design
This exhaust system arrives in a dual outlet configuration with two 102mm slash-cut tips, one on each side of the vehicle, finished in a striking Diamond Black. The tips are double walled to maintain a mirror finish even under hard usage, and each one is individually adjustable so stagger and depth into the bumper can be dialed in to personal taste. The design is purpose-built to work with the factory rear valance for a clean, integrated appearance.
