Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 09-12 Audi Q5 (3.2) Exhaust System Kit is a purpose-built Cat Back performance exhaust engineered specifically for the 3.2L Q5. AWE’s Fabrication and Engineering Departments obsessed over tone and volume, delivering an exhilarating wail at full throttle while keeping things quiet and civil during part-throttle, around-town driving. The result is a Performance Edition exhaust system that turns heads when you want it to and behaves itself when you don’t.
This is a downpipe-back system that mates directly to the factory downpipes, making it a clean, precision fit for your Audi. Featuring an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust tone and AWE’s proprietary 180 Technology™ to eliminate drone, this car exhaust is the perfect performance complement for a daily-driven vehicle. Every detail was labored over by hand to ensure maximum performance and longevity.
Key Benefits
When you shop for exhaust upgrades in this class, sound quality and build integrity matter most. AWE’s non-resonated configuration is built for those chasing a more aggressive, head-turning note, while the 180 Technology™ keeps cabin drone in check. Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel, this exhaust system is designed to hold up to the elements and the miles.
Topped off with dual 4″ double-walled, slash-cut tips finished in striking Diamond Black, this catback exhaust looks every bit as purposeful as it sounds. The 2.5″ tubing diameter and x-pipe design work together to sharpen throttle response and exhaust tone without requiring a tune.
