Description
Overview
The 08-12 Audi S5 (Coupe – 4.2 – AWD) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is engineered for owners who want to fine-tune the sound of their 4.2L V8 with a focused, aggressive edge. Built as a Down Pipe edition system, this AWE Tuning DownPipe features unfiltered, larger diameter tubing designed to unlock a deeper, more assertive tone from your S5. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades that add real character without a laundry list of complications, these Non-Resonated Downpipes deliver a purposeful step up in volume and attitude.
Crafted from durable T304L Stainless Steel, this exhaust pipe is made to handle heat, resist corrosion, and hold up over years of spirited driving. The 2.5-inch tubing diameter opens up airflow to help produce a more aggressive sound profile, making it an ideal companion to a broader performance exhaust setup.
Key Benefits
What makes this car exhaust component stand out is how well it pairs with existing AWE systems. The downpipes are the perfect addition to the Touring Edition Exhaust for an increase in volume, or they can further uncork the tone of the Track Edition. Either way, you get a noticeably more engaging soundtrack from your S5’s 4.2L powerplant.
Just as importantly, this exhaust system is designed to keep ownership simple. No tune is required to run it, and it carries a No CEL Guarantee — meaning no check engine light headaches after installation. It also holds a 50 State Legal voluntary label and a Fit Guarantee, so you can install with confidence knowing the components are made to fit your Audi S5 correctly.
