AWE Tuning 3.0T Touring Edition Exhaust – Dual Outlet Chrome Silver Tips for C7 Audi A6

The AWE Tuning 3.0T Touring Edition Exhaust with dual chrome silver tips for the C7 Audi A6 is designed to refine the twin-turbo V6’s factory sound without adding intrusive cabin drone. It features a tuned midpipe resonator and AWE’s 180 Technology®, which cancels unwanted frequencies while preserving the engine’s natural tone, resulting in a controlled, smooth, and consistent exhaust note across the rev range. The dual 102mm chrome silver tips provide a clean visual upgrade, and the system installs using factory mounting points with no modifications to emissions equipment. Constructed from T304L stainless steel, it balances long-term durability with precise fitment, offering a subtle performance enhancement that emphasizes character rather than volume.

Touring Edition Exhaust

• The Touring Edition Exhaust is a 3” T304L stainless steel downpipe-back system that balances aggressive performance with refined sound. It includes an integrated frontpipe, a custom midpipe resonator, and AWE’s patented 180 Technology® to cancel unwanted frequencies, producing a full, clean exhaust note that remains quiet at cruising speeds but opens up under boost and heavy throttle. The system routes exhaust through carefully positioned ports and reflection chambers in the resonator, creating 180-degree out-of-phase waves to eliminate drone. Its straight-through design enhances flow and power while maintaining a crisp, controlled, and drone-free tone, backed by AWE’s No CEL and Perfect Fitment guarantees.

What is 180 Technology?

• AWE Tuning’s patented 180 Technology works by channeling exhaust gases into a resonator with carefully positioned ports that feed into reflection chambers. As sound waves pass through, they reflect off the chamber walls, and the size and placement of these ports and chambers are engineered for the specific acoustic profile of each vehicle. By controlling the timing of when the reflected waves merge back into the main exhaust stream, a 180-degree out-of-phase wave is produced, canceling targeted frequencies. Instead of a universal design, each resonator is tuned to its vehicle, delivering consistent, balanced sound. The result is reduced unwanted tones while preserving a full, natural exhaust note with precise tonal control and unaltered performance.

Exhaust Tips

• Each system comes with three 4.5” double-walled, slash-cut tips in either chrome silver or diamond black, each stamped with the AWE logo. The tips can be adjusted individually, letting you set their position within the bumper to suit your preference.

Nope, It’s Not Valved

• During development, AWE closely examined how the factory exhaust valve operates under various driving conditions and found that overall volume changes little between modes that engage the valve. It stays closed only in Comfort mode until a defined throttle threshold is met, while in Sport and Sport+ modes it remains open, with Sport+ introducing ECU-controlled burbles. In the stock system, exhaust is routed through the side mufflers when the valve is closed to reduce cabin noise and drone, and shifts to the center path when the valve opens.

Conversion Kits

• AWE engineered the system for simple switching between Track and Touring Editions, enabling adjustment of interior sound levels at any time.
