Description
Overview
Welcome to the mothership of 3.0T exhausts. The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System Kit for the 2012-2017 Audi S5 (Coupe, 3.0, AWD) represents the most comprehensive exhaust development project in AWE’s company history. Handcrafted in-house from premium T304L Stainless Steel, this cat-back exhaust system was engineered to deliver a refined, sophisticated character that still commands respect the moment you open the throttle. If you’re ready to shop for exhaust upgrades that transform your S5, this is where serious performance begins.
AWE spent considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and at part-throttle cruising, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. The result is a car exhaust that behaves like a factory system during your daily commute, then wakes up with an unmistakable performance voice when you demand it. Every detail drives toward maximum performance, quality, and perfect sound.
Key Benefits
As a complete catback exhaust system, this kit replaces the restrictive factory tubing with mandrel-quality 2.5″ tubing and finishes with four striking 3.5″ Diamond Black tips. AWE’s proprietary 180 Technology is engineered into the design to help cancel unwanted drone, so you get that aggressive performance exhaust tone without the fatigue on long highway drives. This is a valveless system, meaning consistent, honest sound with no additional electronics to manage.

Sound & Character
This is the Touring Edition, tuned for the enthusiast who wants sophistication and civility during everyday driving paired with a genuine full-throttle war cry.

Fitment & Notes
This exhaust system is designed specifically for the 2012-2017 Audi S5 Coupe equipped with the 3.0 engine and AWD, and it’s backed by the AWE Fit Guarantee. No tune is required, and the No CEL Guarantee means clean, hassle-free performance. 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.
