Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 10-17 Audi A5 Quattro (2.0) Exhaust System Kit is a purpose-built Cat Back performance exhaust engineered specifically for the B8.5 A5 2.0T. Developed through dedicated A5 research and development, this Touring Edition setup is remarkably civil at idle and part-throttle cruising, yet at full throttle it delivers what some enthusiasts have described as a “war-cry wail.” It’s sophisticated, refined, and powerful — all in one package — making it a standout choice when you shop for exhaust upgrades for your Audi.
The factory system on a B8.5 A5 is full of crimped tubing that impedes exhaust flow and robs horsepower. AWE addressed this by designing the exhaust path with CAD modeling software to produce smooth, gradual bends and eliminate any interruption to the flow of exhaust gasses. The result is a catback exhaust system that improves on the stock car in every meaningful way.
Key Benefits
Improvements to the exhaust path yield gains of 8-9 horsepower and 6-7 lb-ft of torque at the crank — real, measurable performance from a system that requires no tune. Built from durable T304L Stainless Steel and featuring AWE’s 180 Technology, this exhaust system balances aggressive full-throttle character with a composed daily-driving demeanor. As a Cat Back design with a 2.5 inch tubing diameter, it opens up the car exhaust flow while retaining refined manners.
Tips & Configuration
This Touring Edition exhaust is a dual outlet design, placing one tip on each side of the car for a total of four tips finished in Chrome Silver. Each 90mm (3.50 inch) slash-cut tip is double-walled to ensure a mirror polish even under hard usage, and every tip carries an engraved AWE logo. Each tip is individually adjustable, so stagger and depth into the bumper can be set to your preference for a factory-clean, custom-dialed appearance.
Fitment & Compliance
Designed for the 2010-2017 Audi A5 Quattro 2.0T (B8.5), this exhaust pipe kit is backed by AWE’s Fit Guarantee for a confident, bolt-on installation. It carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label and includes a No CEL Guarantee — no tune required, and no check-engine-light headaches. Whether you’re comparing it against a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, or MagnaFlow exhaust, this AWE performance exhaust delivers engineered flow and unmistakable Audi character.
