"Whether you're looking for full blown roar with our Track Edition
Exhaust System or a more subtle decibel with the Touring Edition Exhaust
System, the two A5 3.2L exhaust options provide a solution for every
discerning A5 owner.
A5 3.2L Touring Edition Exhaust System
The more civilized of the family is the A5 3.2L Touring Edition
Exhaust. The Touring Edition Exhaust features an x-pipe for enhanced
exhaust tone and features AWE Tuning 180 Technology.
Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology
As exhaust gases exit the 3.2L 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.
The A5 Touring Edition Exhaust is the perfect performance compliment for the daily driven A5 3.2L.
A5 3.2L Track Edition Exhaust System
The business end of this exhaust is not for the faint of heart. Dig
into the throttle and you'll realize why we call this the ""Track
Edition."" This is a loud exhaust, with potential for drone due to the
combination of the 3.2L engine and the lack of 180 Technology
resonators. Family drivers and client entertainers, we suggest the
Touring Edition Exhaust.

Tips and valences
Both Touring Editions and Track Editions of our A5 3.2L Exhaust System are available with:
- Dual 90mm (3.5 inch) tips designed to work with the stock rear bumper and valance
- Quad 90mm (3.5 inch) slash cut tips, designed for S-Line bumpers, using an S5 valence (note: an S-Line bumper is required for Quad Tip)
Further, each tip variation is available in standard Chrome Silver or
our famous Diamond Black plating. The tips sport engraved AWE Tuning
logos and are double walled to ensure a mirror polish, even under hard
usage.
Resonated Downpipes versus Stock
For A5 owners looking to fine tune the sound of the Touring Exhaust
even more, we suggest adding AWE Tuning Resonated Downpipes. AWE Tuning
Resonated Downpipes feature larger than stock resonators in order to
produce a mellow sound volume, and while they are compatible with both
the Touring and Track Edition Exhaust Systems, the notable difference
will be heard on the Touring system.
