Description
Overview
The 16-18 Audi A6 Quattro (3.0) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a precision-engineered cat back exhaust system built to unlock the true voice of your 3.0T while keeping everyday driving refined. As a Touring Edition, this performance exhaust is tuned for enthusiasts who want a confident, aggressive tone under throttle without an overbearing cabin experience at cruise. Drop the hammer and the 3.0T will sing.
What sets this exhaust system apart is AWE’s patented 180 Technology®, a drone-canceling solution engineered to combat the boomy resonance that plagues many aftermarket setups at cruising speeds. The result is a car exhaust that delivers character when you want it and calm when you don’t.
Key Benefits
Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 2.5-inch tubing, this catback exhaust is designed to endure hard use while maintaining its finish and performance. The dual-outlet configuration is topped with four Diamond Black, 4-inch (102mm) slash-cut tips positioned on each side of the vehicle and engineered to work with the factory rear valance. The tips are double-walled to preserve a mirror finish even under demanding driving, and each tip is individually adjustable so you can dial in stagger and depth into the bumper to match your personal taste.

- AWE 180 Technology® to cancel drone at cruising speeds

Sound & Upgrade Path
For those chasing the ultimate drone-free experience, AWE offers Resonated Downpipes (available separately). These feature resonators larger than the stock units to produce a mellow sound volume, along with larger-than-stock tubing diameter. Pairing the Resonated Downpipes with the Touring Edition Exhaust is AWE’s recommendation for the smoothest, most refined result. Whether you run the exhaust system on its own or add the downpipes, you’re building a cohesive setup around AWE’s engineering.
Fitment
This exhaust pipe kit is purpose-built for the 2016-2018 Audi A6 Quattro equipped with the 3.0 engine. With a Cat Back System Type, No Tune Required, and AWE’s Fit Guarantee, it’s an ideal upgrade for owners who want proven performance without guesswork. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades and comparing options like Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, Magnaflow exhaust or Walker exhaust for your platform, this AWE Touring Edition delivers a focused, application-specific solution.
From the mirror-finish tips to the drone-canceling internals, every detail is engineered to elevate your A6. Order the AWE Tuning Touring Edition and give your 3.0T the exhaust system it deserves.
