Touring Edition Exhaust
The best just got better.
Signature AWE howl, delivered. The Touring Edition is the sophisticated member of the S5 Sportback exhaust family.
The Touring Edition Exhaust removes the factory valving and replaces it with AWE’s 180 Technology®
drone-cancelling resonators (and electronic valve simulators). This
solution provides for a perfect, signature AWE experience: civil within
the cabin while cruising, yet all the pops and burbles during
acceleration and downshifts.
The Touring Edition Exhaust comes complete with 180
Technology® resonators, a precision-engineered x-pipe,
Sportback-specific mid merge, non-resonated downpipes, and your choice
of 90 or 102mm tips in either diamond black or chrome silver.
Sound Perfection: AWE 180 Technology®
Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology®.
As exhaust gases exit the 3.0T engine and flow into an AWE 180 Technology®
equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and
into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses,
bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size
and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the
sound waves exit the chambers.
The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves
rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree
out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. Cool,
right? Learn more on AWE’s 180 Technology® in the tab above.
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
All tip options include the AWE logo, and
double-walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips
