A5 Research and Development has yielded an exhaust that is
remarkably civil while idling / part throttle cruising, but unleashed
at full throttle it produces what some have called a "war-cry wail."
Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all in one package.

The stock exhaust system on a B8 A5 is full of crimped tubing that
impedes exhaust flow and robs horsepower. The AWE Tuning B8 A5 2.0T
Touring Edition Exhaust and Downpipe Systems are designed using CAD
modeling software to produce smooth gradual bends and to eliminate any
interruption to the flow of exhaust gasses. Our improvements to the
exhaust path result in gains of 8-9 horsepower and 6-7 lb ft of torque
at the crank.
Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology__�
As exhaust gases exit the 2.0L Turbo 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.
Additional sound level tuning
For the enthusiast interested in a more aggressive sound, we offer
our Downpipe. The factory unit contains a fairly large straight through
resonator. By replacing this large piece with a more compact but still
straight through resonator, we were able to increase sound volume while
adding a slightly deeper tone. Testing showed no power increase in
adding the downpipe. It will mate to our exhaust system or any other
exhaust designed to work with the stock downpipe.
Please note: This product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
