Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Cat Back Exhaust System Kit is engineered specifically for the 2012-2017 Audi S5 Coupe (3.0, AWD), and it represents what AWE calls the mothership of 3.0T exhaust development. Described as the most comprehensive exhaust development project in the company’s history, this 3.0T system paved the way for the technologies now found across most every AWE exhaust product. If you are ready to shop for exhaust that transforms your S5 without compromise, this handcrafted performance exhaust delivers refined character and serious presence in equal measure.
AWE spent considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and at part-throttle cruising, while producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. The result is a car exhaust that commands respect while remaining sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once. Every detail of this exhaust system is driven toward maximum performance, quality, and perfect sound.
Key Benefits
Built as a true Cat Back exhaust, this catback exhaust system uses AWE’s proprietary 180 Technology to help tame unwanted resonance and drone, so cruising stays comfortable while wide-open throttle unleashes the aggressive tone S5 owners crave. The Touring Edition is tuned for daily-drivable civility, making it the ideal balance of everyday manners and motorsport-inspired attitude.
- Handcrafted in-house from durable T304L Stainless Steel for lasting corrosion resistance
- Cat Back system type with 2.5-inch tubing diameter engineered for the 3.0T platform
- Four Chrome Silver tips at 3.5-inch diameter for a bold, finished rear-end look
- 180 Technology helps control drone for a civil idle and clean cruising tone
- No tune required and No CEL Guarantee for a straightforward, hassle-free install
- Backed by AWE’s Fit Guarantee and carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label
Sound, Fit & Finish
From the quiet composure at idle to the unmistakable full-throttle wail, this Touring Edition exhaust pipe upgrade is designed to sound as good as it performs. The valveless design keeps things simple and reliable, while the quad Chrome Silver tips give the S5 a purposeful stance. As a complete exhaust system kit, it bolts on as a genuine exhaust exhaust pipe replacement for the factory setup, so you get a cohesive, engineered fit rather than a piecemeal solution.
Fitment
This exhaust system is application-specific for the 2012-2017 Audi S5 Coupe equipped with the 3.0 engine and AWD. AWE backs the fit with a Fit Guarantee, and no tune is required to run it. Please note: in limited cases, factory downpipes have been known to emit minor rattling noises when paired with the AWE exhaust system; the possibility of rattling is eliminated with the addition of AWE downpipes.
