Description
Overview
The 18-25 Audi S5 Sportback (3.0) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a precision-engineered cat back exhaust system built for the driver who wants total command over volume and tone. This SwitchPath™ Edition pairs valved muffler technology with a Sportback-specific mid merge, giving your 3.0T-powered S5 a signature AWE character that shifts from civil to rowdy at your command. Constructed from T304L Stainless Steel with four Diamond Black tips, it’s a performance exhaust that looks as purposeful as it sounds.
SwitchPath™ Control
The SwitchPath™ valved solution is for those who want complete control of their S5 Sportback’s volume and tone, at their fingertips. This catback exhaust comes complete with non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe, a Sportback-specific mid merge, and two valved muffler sections. Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valve closed for a composed, refined note. Ready to rumble? Open the valve and let them know you’re coming. For the best SwitchPath™ experience, AWE highly recommends pairing the exhaust system with the SwitchPath™ Remote rather than relying on factory operation.
The Mid Merge
The Sportback introduced new in-cabin acoustic behavior and undercar packaging not found on the other members of the B9 trio. To produce that unmistakable AWE tone out of the 3.0T-powered platform, this exhaust pipe system uses a Sportback-specific mid merge working alongside the precision-engineered x-pipe. The result is a car exhaust that respects the chassis’ packaging while delivering the aggressive, engineered sound AWE is known for.
