Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 13-15 Audi RS5 (4.2) Exhaust System Kit is a precision-engineered downpipe upgrade built to transform how your naturally aspirated 4.2 breathes and sounds. Constructed from 2.5″ T304L stainless steel, these AWE Resonated Downpipes are designed to add AWE’s signature refinement to an existing AWE Track Edition Exhaust — combining the two to create the coveted AWE Touring Edition Exhaust experience. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust hardware that pairs premium materials with real-world drivability, this is a performance exhaust upgrade purpose-built for your RS5.
Sound Engineered for the Street and the Track
What sets this downpipe apart is the integrated resonator. It produces a mellow, refined tone at part throttle — ideal for daily driving and long highway pulls — without muting the aggression at wide open throttle. The result is a car exhaust that stays composed when you want it and comes alive when you don’t. This balance of civility and intensity is exactly what makes a well-designed exhaust system worth the upgrade over a stock setup.

Option & Configuration
This kit is the Down Pipe edition of the AWE catback exhaust family for the RS5.
