Description
Overview
The 08-12 Audi S5 (Coupe – 4.2 – AWD) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is the more civilized member of the S5 exhaust family. Built as the Touring Edition, this cat back exhaust system is engineered for owners who want a refined, mature soundtrack without sacrificing genuine performance breathing. It carries over the central muffler from the Track Edition and adds an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust scavenging, delivering a balanced, drivable character on every commute and canyon run alike.
Crafted entirely from T304L stainless steel, this performance exhaust is designed to resist corrosion and hold its finish over years of hard use. As a true catback exhaust, it bolts on behind the cats to transform the tone and flow of your car exhaust while remaining a direct-fit upgrade for the 4.2-liter, AWD S5 Coupe.
AWE 180 Technology® & Refined Sound
What sets this AWE exhaust system apart is AWE 180 Technology®, engineered to cancel the resonant frequencies responsible for interior drone. The result is a clean, aggressive exhaust note under throttle with a composed cabin at cruise. For owners looking to fine-tune the sound even further, AWE offers Resonated Downpipes with resonators larger than stock and larger-diameter tubing for a mellower overall volume.
Tips & Finish
The Touring Edition is finished with quad 90mm (3.5-inch) slash-cut tips available here in a striking Chrome Silver finish. Each tip is double-walled to guarantee a mirror polish even under hard usage and is engraved with the AWE logo. Best of all, each tip is individually adjustable, so stagger and depth into the bumper can be dialed in exactly to your personal taste.
