The Audi SQ5 offers a balanced mix of utility and performance, which is exactly why many owners look for upgrades that match its character. The Milltek Audi SQ5 catback exhaust delivers that blend with a system engineered for sound, durability, and a more expressive driving experience. Milltek’s catback setup is a direct replacement for the factory system, and it adds depth to the 3.0L supercharged V6 without losing the SQ5’s premium feel. The focus centers on a smoother tone, a stronger presence on throttle, and a series of tip finishes that let drivers tailor the look to the truck’s personality.
Milltek has built a reputation around offering performance exhaust systems that uphold both craftsmanship and longevity. This Audi SQ5 catback exhaust follows that philosophy with 304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, selected for its corrosion resistance and its ability to withstand long-term heat cycling. For a platform that often sees all-weather use, the material quality plays a major role in keeping both sound consistency and system integrity intact over the years.
The 8R-chassis SQ5 benefits from a well-designed airflow path, so the Milltek system takes advantage of that layout with a refined arrangement of components. The kit includes a pair of downpipes, a front silencer, a center silencer, dual rear silencers, and a quad-tip exit built to follow factory locations. The pipe diameter sits at 60.5 mm, a size chosen for balanced flow without introducing unwanted drone. Milltek’s approach keeps the sound clean on the highway while letting the V6 breathe a bit more during acceleration.
This Audi SQ5 catback exhaust is not EC-approved, which is important for buyers in regions that require homologation. However, it is also not designated as motorsport only, making it suitable for normal street use where regulations permit. The quad-tip arrangement fills out the rear of the SQ5 with a confident stance, and when combined with the system’s varied tip finishes, the final look becomes a noticeable upgrade from stock.
One of the strongest visual elements of the Audi SQ5 catback exhaust is the wide selection of tip finishes. Milltek offers brushed titanium, burnt titanium, carbon fiber, Cerakote black, and polished options. Drivers who lean toward a more understated aesthetic often gravitate toward the brushed or polished finishes, while the burnt titanium and carbon fiber options bring a sharper, sport-oriented style. The choice of GT or Jet tip shapes adds another layer of customization, letting owners decide how bold or subtle the rear profile should appear.
Every tip style for the Audi SQ5 catback exhaust is built with the same emphasis on quality as the rest of the system. Fitment follows factory spacing, and the materials used are chosen to maintain their finish under regular heat exposure. Since the SQ5 uses a quad-tip layout from the factory, the upgraded design blends in naturally while elevating the overall impression.
Milltek’s brand identity centers around engineering performance exhausts that serve real drivers who value consistency and long-term use. Manufactured in the UK and distributed across more than 90 countries, Milltek continues to evolve its product lineup for platforms like the SQ5. That global presence is backed by a dedicated research and development team that refines sound characteristics, durability, and system fitment with each new application.
Owners upgrading to the Milltek Audi SQ5 catback exhaust can expect a deeper tone under load, smoother transitions through the rev range, and a noticeable improvement in overall presence. It fits the factory layout cleanly and arrives with everything needed for installation, which helps minimize shop time and ensures a proper seal across all joints.
