Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 18-25 Audi S5 Sportback (3.0) Exhaust System Kit delivers the perfected B9 S5 soundtrack — the signature AWE howl, delivered. As the sophisticated member of the B9 S5 exhaust family, the Touring Edition transforms your car exhaust into a refined yet aggressive performance exhaust that feels civil while cruising and comes alive under throttle. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades that balance sound, quality, and everyday livability, this catback exhaust system is engineered to do exactly that.
This Touring Edition removes the factory valving and replaces it with AWE’s 180 Technology® drone-cancelling resonators, paired with electronic valve simulators. The result is a perfect, signature AWE experience: quiet and composed inside the cabin at highway speeds, yet full of pops and burbles during acceleration and downshifts. It’s a valveless (Valves: No) design that keeps things simple without sacrificing character.
Key Benefits
Built as a complete Cat Back exhaust system, this kit is constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel for long-term corrosion resistance and a premium feel. The 2.5-inch tubing and quad 4-inch tips finished in Chrome Silver give the S5 Sportback a purposeful look to match its refined exhaust note. Best of all, no tune is required, so you can enjoy the upgraded sound and appearance without additional programming.

Sound & Technology
The heart of this exhaust system is AWE’s 180 Technology®, which cancels drone by using precisely tuned reflected sound waves. That means you get all the character of a true performance exhaust — the pops, the burbles, and the unmistakable AWE tone — without the fatiguing resonance that plagues lesser systems. The electronic valve simulators keep everything working seamlessly with your S5 after the factory valving is removed.
Fitment
This exhaust pipe kit is engineered specifically for the 2018-2025 Audi S5 Sportback with the 3.0 engine. AWE backs it with a Fit Guarantee, so you can order knowing it’s designed to bolt on as a direct catback replacement. Whether you compare it against a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, MagnaFlow exhaust, or Walker exhaust, the AWE Touring Edition stands out as a purpose-built exhaust system for the B9 S5.
