The newfound howl. Presenting the AWE Exhaust Suite for the B9 RS 5 Sportback.
Touring Edition
A true, dual 3” T304L stainless steel configuration featuring a
precision engineered x-pipe specific for the RS5’s 2.9TT, and topped off
with AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®. The
result is a menacing, aggressive soundtrack throughout the range with a
drone-free cabin experience under cruising conditions. RS 5 owners, this
is the double-edged sword you’ve been waiting for.
Sound Perfection: 180 Technology® by AWE
As exhaust gases exit the RS 5s’ 2.9L 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. Call it science, call it magic, or call it 180
Technology® by AWE. More in the tab above.
Performance Catalysts
Precision CNC-machined flanges, 127mm 200CPSI HJS HD catalysts with
tri-lobe cores, and 3”, .065” wall T304L stainless steel make up the AWE
Performance Catalysts. Equipping the Performance Catalysts unlocks
welcomed turbo spool sounds out of the 2.9TT along with an aggressive
grunt when under load.
Please note: exhausts labeled "Resonated for Performance Catalysts " and the Resonator Conversion Kit are recommended to be used with the Performance Catalysts, but not required.
However, Performance Catalysts may not be returned (absent manufacturer
defect under normal warranty guidelines) if they’re being run without
the recommended exhaust configurations.
Please note: AWE Performance Catalysts are for racing use only, as is any exhaust combination that includes them.
Upgrade options:
Looking to crank it up or turn it down? No problem. We have
conversion kits to allow you to do just that. Turn your Touring Edition
into a Track Edition, or vice versa, with ease.
Resonated lower portions of downpipes to be ran with the Performance Catalysts are also available separately.
Tip options:
AWE Touring and Track Editions come standard with diamond black 180mm RS-style oval tips, complete with stamped AWE logo.
