The RS5 Track Edition Exhaust System
The RS5 Track Edition Exhaust was designed for those seeking
additional growl. The Track Edition brings out an aggressive, raw V8
rumble. Still suitable for a daily driver, this "noticeable" system lets
them know you're coming. The RS5 Track Edition system features
specially designed Helmholtz Resonators and reuses the stock downpipes
to give the RS5 a true V8 sound.
Please note that this is a loud system and buyers should be aware. This product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
AWE Tuning Research and Development has crafted a spectrum of RS5
exhausts, ranging from sophisticated performance to
all-out-attention-grabbing. These systems are one-of-a-kind
masterpieces, hand crafted one-by-one at AWE Tuning headquarters.

Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology
As exhaust gases exit the 4.2L engine and flow into
an AWE Tuning 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 re-join the main
exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound
wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. More on AWE Tuning 180
Technology in the tab above.
Details by edition
The RS5 Touring Edition Exhaust System
The most civilized member of the family is the AWE Tuning RS5 Touring
Edition Exhaust. If you occasionally have a client in the car or you
are concerned about waking the neighbors, you should consider the
Touring Edition. This system brings out the power and tone of the V8 in
an extremely sophisticated manner. Still head turning, our Touring
Edition system features resonated downpipes to produce a more mellow
tone at part throttle, yet the aggressive sound you crave during wide
open throttle.
The RS5 Track Extreme Exhaust System
The people have spoken. The RS5 Track Extreme Exhaust is the result of a public outcry for even more.
The Track Extreme cranks the Track Edition up to eleven by adding AWE
Tuning RS5 Non-Resonated Downpipes, giving the RS5 a sound that you need
to hear to believe. The RS5 Track Extreme system features the same
specially-designed Helmholtz Resonators from the rest of our RS5 line.
Please note that this is a loud system and buyers should be aware. This product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
The RS5 Non-Resonated Downpipes
For RS5 owners seeking an even more aggressive sound in addition to
our Track or Touring Edition Exhaust systems, we offer our Non-Resonated
Downpipes, available separately. AWE Tuning Non-Resonated Downpipes
are constructed from 2.5_�� T304 Stainless Steel and remove an additional
resonator to produce a louder and deeper tone to the exhaust note.
As always, AWE Tuning Non-Resonated Downpipes are only recommended
for those who like it loud, and again this product cannot be returned or
exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
The RS5 Resonated Downpipes
The Track Edition + our Resonated Downpipes = our Touring Edition
Exhaust. Note that if you already have a Track Edition Exhaust, you can
add these downpipes within a year of purchase of the Track Edition
Exhaust for the difference between the Touring Edition and Track
Edition. More info on this upgrade, here.
AWE Tuning Resonated Downpipes are constructed from 2.5inch T304
Stainless Steel and include a resonator to produce a mellow tone at part
throttle without also hindering the sound at wide open throttle.
Upgrading to downpipes later
Not sure if you want to do the full package yet? No worries. If you
purchase a Track Edition system alone, you have one full year from the
date of purchase to buy the complementing Resonated or Non-Resonated
Downpipes, for the price difference between the Downpipe-Back system
alone and your package price (price at the time of downpipe purchase).
This is for original owners only, and is valid through AWE Tuning
directly or through any authorized AWE Tuning dealer, so long as proof
of the original Downpipe-Back purchase can be provided. More info on
this upgrade, here.
