AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust – Chrome Silver Tips (102mm) for B8.5 Audi S5

The AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust for the B8.5 Audi S5 with 102mm chrome silver tips features a straight-through, non-valved design that eliminates rear muffling to prioritize flow and sound clarity. By reducing restriction in the rear section, it allows the supercharged 3.0T V6 to produce a louder, sharper, and more immediate exhaust note, with pronounced overrun and throttle response across the rev range. Without valving, the tone remains consistent in all driving conditions, giving the car a more mechanical and engaging character. Constructed from mandrel-bent stainless steel, it ensures durable, smooth flow and installs using factory mounting points for a clean, straightforward fit. The 102mm chrome silver tips complement the S5’s rear styling with a classic, OEM-aligned appearance.

Track Edition Exhaust

• For those who prefer a more raw and aggressive sound, the Track Edition delivers. It retains the same integrated front pipe, custom midpipe resonator, and precise engineering as the Touring Edition, but without AWE’s 180 Technology® drone-canceling system. At the rear, the 180 Technology® resonator is replaced with a straight section, producing a much louder, more aggressive tone during mid-range acceleration and deceleration. Intense enough that it may overwhelm some drivers. Consider yourself warned.

What is 180 Technology?

• AWE Tuning’s patented 180 Technology works by routing exhaust gases through a resonator with precisely positioned ports and reflection chambers. As the sound waves travel with the exhaust, they bounce off the chamber walls, and AWE’s engineers carefully adjust the size and placement of the ports and chambers for each vehicle. This controls the timing of when the reflected waves rejoin the main exhaust flow. When timed correctly, these waves return 180 degrees out of phase, canceling unwanted frequencies.
• Consistency Through Change:
  180 Technology isn’t a universal design. Each resonator is tailored to the specific acoustic profile of the vehicle, ensuring consistent, clean sound across different applications.
• What It Means to You:
  The system eliminates undesirable tones while maintaining a full, refined exhaust note, delivering both optimal performance and a signature sound unique to each AWE-equipped system.

Exhaust Tips

• Each exhaust system includes three 4.5” double-walled, slash-cut tips, offered in chrome silver or diamond black, each stamped with the AWE logo. The tips can be adjusted individually, letting you set their depth in the bumper to match your preference.

Nope, It’s Not Valved

• During development, AWE thoroughly studied the factory exhaust valve under a range of driving conditions and found no significant volume changes between modes that engage the valve. The valve stays closed only in Comfort mode, opening once a specific throttle threshold is reached. In Sport and Sport+ modes, it remains open, with Sport+ adding ECU-controlled burbles. On the stock system, exhaust flows through the side mufflers when the valve is closed to reduce cabin volume and minimize drone, and through the center when the valve opens.

Conversion Kits

• AWE has designed the system for easy conversion between Track and Touring Editions, allowing interior sound levels to be adjusted whenever desired.
