For our Q5 3.2L Exhaust, we knew the tone and volume had to be spot
on. It needed to deliver an exhilarating 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 exhausts on the market.
Featuring an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust tone and Featuring AWE Tuning 180 Technology to eliminate drone, our Q5 3.2L Exhaust family is the perfect Performance compliment for the daily driven vehicle.
The Q5 3.2L Exhausts come in three flavors:
- Downpipe-Back system
- Full downpipe + exhaust configuration packages (best value), and
- Resonated downpipes alone
Note: If you purchase a downpipe-back system alone, you
have one full year from the date of downpipe-back system puchase to buy
the complementing downpipes. See "Upgrading to downpipes later" below.
AWE Tuning Q5 3.2L Non-Resonated Exhaust System
A Downpipe-Back system that mates up with the factory downpipes, the
Non-Resonated system is for those looking for a more aggressive
head-turning sound, with all the same benefits as the more subtle
Resonated System.
AWE Tuning Q5 3.2L Resonated Exhaust System (Package)
The AWE Tuning Q5 3.2L Resonated Exhaust System offers
AWE Tuning Downpipes in conjunction with the Downpipe-Back exhaust to
offer one of the most sophisticated pitches on the road. Our acclaimed
Resonated Downpipes feature larger than stock resonators in order to
produce a more subtle sound volume.
Highlights of both systems:
Hand-crafted, every detail of these exhausts was labored over to ensure maximum performance and longevity:
- + 8hp, +7tq at the crank
- Increased pipe diameter to 2.5" to better let the engine exhale
- Strategic elimination of mufflers to release tone when uncorked
- Available with Polished Silver or Diamond Black adjustable tips
- Engineered, developed, tested and manufactured in-house
- Thick .065" wall T304 stainless steel tubing
- High quality stainless steel band clamps
- Stainless steel center muffler with OEM grade stainless steel wool and German composite packing material
- Lifetime Warranty
Topped off with notable 4" inch slash cut tips, available in standard
Polished Silver or our distinct Diamond Black plating. The tips sport
engraved AWE Tuning logos and are double walled to ensure a mirror
polish, even under hard usage.
Upgrading to downpipes later
Not sure if you want to do the full package yet? No worries. If you
purchase a Downpipe-Back system alone, you have one full year from the
date of Downpipe-Back system purchase to buy the complementing
downpipes, for the price difference between the Downpipe-Back system
alone and the 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.
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.
