Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 18-24 Audi S5 (Coupe – 3.0) Exhaust System Kit is a complete cat-back exhaust system built for the driver who wants total command over how their 3.0T sounds. Engineered as a SwitchPath™ Edition with valves, this performance exhaust puts volume and tone at your fingertips — keep it quiet on the early morning drive out, then open the valves and let the neighborhood know you’ve arrived.
Constructed entirely from T304L stainless steel, this exhaust system is designed to look, sound, and last the part. The catback exhaust design routes through non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe, and a model-specific mid merge before reaching two valved muffler sections. The result is a signature AWE tone that stays composed when you want it and turns rowdy when you don’t.
Valve Control & SwitchPath™ Experience
The SwitchPath™ valved solution is for those who want complete control of their car’s volume and tone. Two valved muffler sections can be actuated via the SwitchPath™ Remote — and AWE highly recommends pairing the exhaust with the SwitchPath™ Remote rather than relying on factory operation, delivering the best possible SwitchPath™ experience. Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valve closed. Ready to rumble? Open the valve and let them know you’re coming.

Four Diamond Black tips finish the system with a bold, aggressive presence that stands out at any car show or track day.
