Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 10-17 Audi A5 Quattro (2.0) Exhaust System Kit is a Cat Back performance exhaust engineered specifically for the B8.5 A5 2.0T. Built as the Touring Edition, it delivers a refined character that stays remarkably civil at idle and part-throttle cruising, then transforms into what some have called a “war-cry wail” at full throttle. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful — this exhaust system brings all three together in one package.
The factory setup on a B8.5 A5 is full of crimped tubing that impedes exhaust flow and robs horsepower. AWE addressed that head-on: this catback exhaust was designed using CAD modeling software to produce smooth, gradual bends and eliminate any interruption to the flow of exhaust gasses. The result is a cleaner exhaust path that frees up the engine to breathe.
Key Benefits
Improvements to the exhaust path translate to measurable gains of 8-9 horsepower and 6-7 lb-ft of torque at the crank — real performance you can feel, with no tune required to run it. AWE’s 180 Technology helps refine the sound signature, taming unwanted drone while preserving the aggressive top-end voice this car exhaust is known for.
Construction is T304L Stainless Steel throughout, with a 2.5-inch tubing diameter that balances flow and response. The system carries a Fit Guarantee for confident, precise installation, and a No CEL Guarantee so you won’t be chasing check engine lights after install. It also holds a 50 State Legal voluntary label, making it a smart choice for owners who want a compliant performance exhaust.
Tips & Finish
This exhaust pipe kit terminates in two 90mm (3.50 inch) slash-cut tips, finished in AWE’s recognized Diamond Black plating. The tips feature engraved AWE logos and are double-walled to ensure a mirror-quality look that holds up even under hard usage. The single-outlet Touring Edition layout is designed to work with the factory rear valance, positioning both tips on the left side of the car for a clean, purposeful stance.
Fitment
Engineered for the 2010-2017 Audi A5 Quattro with the 2.0T engine (B8.5 platform). As a valveless, non-tune-required Cat Back system, it installs as a direct upgrade over the restrictive stock exhaust system.
