Perfect tone, unlocked power and uncompromised daily driving manners.
For the Q5 2.0T, we knew the tone and volume had to be spot on, given
the varied environments this do-it-all vehicle finds itself in. It
needed to deliver an eye-opening wail at full throttle yet be quiet and
civil during part throttle, around town driving. Countless research and
development efforts by our Fabrication and Engineering Departments have
yielded the finest Q5 2.0T exhaust on the market.
Highlights:
- Featuring AWE Tuning 180 Technology
- Crafted from mandrel bent T-304 2.5" Stainless Steel
- Dyno proven gains of +13 Horsepower and + 13 lb ft of Torque at the crank
- Available with Polished Silver or Diamond Black 3.5" Slash Cut Tips
- Engineered, developed and tested in-house
- Optional Resonated Downpipe for a more aggressive sound
Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology
As exhaust gases exit the 2.0T 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 stock exhaust system is full of crimped tubing that hurts exhaust
flow and robs horsepower. Our Q5 2.0T Exhaust was designed with smooth
gradual bends and to eliminate any interruption to the flow of exhaust
gasses. Our improvements to the exhaust path result in gains of +13
horsepower and +13 lb ft of torque at the crank.
Replacing the large, restrictive factory mufflers also has a pleasing
effect on the engine note. Our exhaust systems give the 2.0T a
civilized, more melodious voice, with specific attention paid to low rpm
situations at part throttle.
Finishing it off
This system is topped off with notable 3.5 inch slash cut tips,
available in standard Chome Silver or our distinct Diamond Black. The
tips sport engraved AWE Tuning logos and are double walled to ensure a
mirror polish, even under hard usage. Each tip is individually
adjustable, so stagger and depth into bumper can be set according to
personal taste.
