Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Cat Back Exhaust System Kit transforms the 2022-2026 Audi S3 (Sedan, 2.0, AWD) into a refined yet unmistakably aggressive machine. This is the first AWE performance exhaust for the 8Y S3 to ever feature patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®, delivering a full-bodied, drone-free rumble for life from the point of installation. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust that balances daily comfort with genuine character, this catback exhaust is engineered to do exactly that.
Key Benefits
At the heart of this exhaust system sits AWE’s patented 180 Technology® resonators, responsible for maintaining straight-through performance while decimating drone-prone frequencies. Because of the way these resonators are designed and constructed, the internals will not break down or degrade over time, so you won’t experience the tone change that plagues lesser designs. The result is a car exhaust that offers what AWE calls the best ratio of interior refinement and exterior rumble on the market.
Best of all, no valves are needed. Switch driving modes and this exhaust renders the same result as a valved exhaust system, making it the true do-it-all setup for every day drivers who still want the thrill of a performance exhaust when they lay into the throttle.
Design & Construction
The Touring Edition features a 3″ inlet complete with an adapter to accommodate the factory downpipe perfectly while leaving an open 3″ connection. Built from durable T304L stainless steel with 3″ tubing throughout, this exhaust pipe assembly is finished off with quad 4.5″ slash-cut, double-walled tips in a striking Diamond Black finish. Proudly made in the USA, this exhaust exhaust pipe kit is engineered for both longevity and standout looks.
