SQ5. UNLOCKED.

The SQ5 takes the sport utility vehicle to a new place. Engineering an exhaust that embraces the spirit of performance as much as one of practicality is no easy feat.

The Exhaust:

Thanks to AWE's sound cancelling 180 Technology™ and countless hours of R&D, we were able to craft a system for the SQ5 that enables perfect part throttle cruising when you want it, and a disobedient soundtrack when you’re feeling a bit more… aggressive. In other words, the AWE Tuning SQ5 Touring Edition Exhaust is the best of both worlds:

An exhaust for the 8 speed Tiptronic: Solved.

Since there is no independent control of the valves (except “Sport” mode which changes a number of other things), the AWE 180 Technology equipped exhaust responds to driver inputs seamlessly, removing the need for valving.

180 Technology™ is not the standard, typical approach to performance exhaust design. Through proprietary mathematical calculations, AWE engineers were able to create a sound cancellation resonator that definitively “turns off” the frequency where drone occurs. At the same time, while being able to squelch drone 100%, the resonator design is also providing a 100% straight through, full diameter flow for maximum performance. So at part throttle, relaxed driving: zero drone. At full throttle, attack mode: straight up aggression (all with no power compromises). Just like a valved system.

Cancel it out: AWE Electronic Valve Simulators

Sound perfection comes standard thanks to AWE 180 Technology™. Which means there’s no need for valves. But when these valves are eliminated, the ECU stores what is known as a ‘soft code’ in the system. While this code is not harmful, who wants it? Enter the AWE Electronic Valve Simulators.

These simple devices plug right into the factory harness in place of the exhaust valves, and prevent any code from ever being stored in the ECU due to the removal of the exhaust valves. Plug them in. Start it up. Drive away. That simple. Comes as a set of two.

The Downpipes: When volume is your speed.
