Description
Overview
The 08-12 Audi S5 (Coupe – 4.2 – AWD) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is the more civilized member of the S5 4.2L family. Built as a Touring Edition catback exhaust system, it pairs refined manners with genuine performance exhaust character, making it an ideal upgrade for owners who want an assertive-yet-livable soundtrack. As a complete cat back exhaust system, it replaces the restrictive factory piping with precision-engineered components designed specifically for the S5 4.2L.
At the heart of the Touring Edition is a central muffler carried over from the Track Edition system, combined with an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust scavenging. The system also incorporates AWE 180 Technology®, engineered to keep interior drone in check while still delivering a rich, purposeful tone. The result is a car exhaust that sounds serious at wide-open throttle yet remains comfortable on the highway.
Key Benefits
Every component is constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 2.5″ tubing, so this exhaust pipe hardware is built to endure. When you shop for exhaust upgrades for the S5, the Touring Edition stands out for its balance of engineering, sound, and finish quality. It is backed by a Fit Guarantee and a No CEL Guarantee, and it requires no tune, so installation is straightforward with predictable results.

Tips & Finish
The Touring Edition comes with quad 90mm (3.5 inch) slash-cut tips in AWE’s noted Diamond Black finish. Each tip features engraved AWE logos and double-walled construction to ensure a mirror polish that holds up even under hard usage. Because each tip is individually adjustable, you can set the stagger and depth into the bumper according to personal taste for a truly custom fit at the rear of the car.
Fine-Tune the Sound
For S5 owners looking to dial in the sound even further, AWE offers Resonated Downpipes that pair with this system. Featuring resonators larger than the stock units along with larger diameter tubing, they produce a mellower overall volume for those who want an even more refined exhaust system experience.
