Tuning for the 8 Speed Tiptronic Transmission
Due to the weight and aerodynamics of the Q5, the 3.0T engine needs
to work a bit harder to move it down the highway. The extra effort
creates more exhaust sound volume, which became quite a challenge in the
development of a performance exhaust. Special attention would be
required - as well as the application of AWE Tuning'ss AWE Tuning 180
Technology.
Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology
As exhaust gases exit the 3.0T 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 Downpipes
Turn your 3.0T Q5 up to 11 with the AWE Tuning Q5 3.0T Non-Resonated
Downpipes. These hand crafted T304 Stainless Steel Non-Resonated
Downpipes produce a distinctive, more aggressive sound when coupled with
the AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust.

Downpipe installation tip
Installing downpipes on these SUVs can be arduous given the placement
of the factory bolts. We had so much trouble that we made an AWE
Tuning-grade tool to make it easier. If you're planning an install, our
Downpipe Removal Tool is a must have.
The Tips
All tip options include the AWE Tuning logo, and double walling to
ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips are individually
adjustable, so depth into the bumper can be set according to personal
taste.
