Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 10-17 Audi A5 Quattro (2.0) Exhaust System Kit is a precision-engineered cat back exhaust system built specifically for the B8.5 A5 2.0T. Developed through extensive research and development, this Touring Edition performance exhaust is remarkably civil while idling and cruising at part throttle, yet transforms into what some have called a “war-cry wail” at full throttle. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful all in one package, it delivers the character serious Audi enthusiasts crave when they shop for exhaust upgrades.
Making Good, Better
The factory exhaust system on a B8.5 A5 is full of crimped tubing that impedes exhaust flow and robs horsepower. AWE Tuning designed this catback exhaust using CAD modeling software to produce smooth, gradual bends and eliminate any interruption to the flow of exhaust gasses. The result is a free-flowing exhaust pipe path that yields gains of 8-9 horsepower and 6-7 lb-ft of torque at the crank — real, measurable improvements over the restrictive stock car exhaust.
