SwitchPath™ Exhaust
The SwitchPath™ valved solution is for those who want
complete control of their S5 Sportback’s volume and tone, at their
fingertips.
The SwitchPath™ Exhaust comes complete with
non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe,
Sportback-specific mid merge, and two valved muffler sections which can
be controlled via the SwitchPath™ Remote.
Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valve closed.
Ready to rumble? Open the valve and let them know you’re coming.
Note: we highly recommend and encourage pairing the
SwitchPath™ Exhaust with the SwitchPath™ Remote versus using the factory
operation for the best SwitchPath™ experience.
The Mid Merge
The Sportback introduced new in-cabin accoustic
behavior and undercar packaging that wasn’t found on the other members
of the B9 trio. In order to produce a signature AWE tone out of the
3.0T-powered S5 Sportback while engineering around the unique
undercarriage, the mid merge was born. Deployment of the mid merge
allows the Sportback configurations to exist without any of resonators,
thus ensuring the full, sophisticated howl of the 3.0T engine will never
change over time.
Tip Options
