Description
Overview
From the masters of S5 performance, AWE Tuning proudly presents the B9 S5 Sportback exhaust solution — a complete Cat Back exhaust system engineered specifically for the 2018-2025 Audi S5 Sportback (3.0). This SwitchPath™ Edition delivers signature AWE tone, performance, and total control, giving you options for every taste and budget without the guesswork of a universal fit. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust hardware that transforms your car exhaust note while retaining factory-grade quality, this is the perfected B9 S5 soundtrack.
Key Benefits
The SwitchPath™ valved solution is built for drivers who want complete command of their S5’s volume and tone right at their fingertips. The kit arrives with non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe mid-section, and two valved muffler sections that can be controlled via the SwitchPath™ Remote or through factory valve programming. Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valves closed for a civilized commute. Ready to rumble? Open them up and let everyone know you’re coming. It’s a true dual-personality performance exhaust that rivals anything you’d compare against a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, or MagnaFlow exhaust setup.
Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with a full 2.5-inch tubing diameter, this catback exhaust is engineered for longevity and consistent flow. The four Chrome Silver tips measure 4 inches in diameter and each carries the AWE logo, with double walling to guarantee a mirror finish even under hard usage. Every tip is individually adjustable, so you can dial in exactly how deep each exhaust pipe sits into the bumper according to your personal taste.

Fitment & Compliance
This exhaust pipe kit is designed exclusively for the 2018-2025 Audi S5 Sportback with the 3.0 engine, backed by AWE’s Fit Guarantee for a precise, factory-matched installation. It carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label, requires no tune, and includes a No CEL Guarantee — so you get the sound and performance you want without warning lights or compromise.
Pro tip: for the best SwitchPath™ experience, AWE recommends and encourages pairing the exhaust with the SwitchPath™ Remote rather than relying on factory operation. Note that you may notice a slight valve rattle upon cold start, as you would with many factory valved systems; this sound will go away within a few minutes as the system reaches temperature.
