Description
Overview
From the masters of S5 performance, the AWE Tuning SwitchPath™ Exhaust System Kit is a precision-engineered catback exhaust built specifically for the 2018-2024 Audi S5 Coupe with the 3.0 engine. Delivering signature AWE tone, performance, and options for every taste and budget, this valved performance exhaust puts complete control of your S5’s volume and character right at your fingertips. Whether you’re sneaking out in the morning or ready to rumble, this is the perfected B9 S5 soundtrack.
SwitchPath™ Valved Control
The SwitchPath™ Edition is engineered for drivers who want total command of their exhaust note. The system comes complete with non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe mid-section, and two valved muffler sections. These valves can be controlled via the SwitchPath™ Remote or through factory valve programming. Keep the valve closed for a subtle, refined drive, or open it up and let everyone know you’re coming. As a pro tip, AWE recommends pairing the SwitchPath™ Exhaust with the SwitchPath™ Remote rather than relying on factory operation for the best possible experience.
Construction & Tips
Built from durable T304L stainless steel, this cat-back exhaust system features 2.5-inch tubing and four Chrome Silver quad tips measuring 4 inches in diameter. Every tip carries the AWE logo and features double walling to maintain a mirror finish even under hard usage. Each tip is individually adjustable, letting you set the depth into the bumper according to your personal taste for a clean, factory-integrated look.
