Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology®.

As exhaust gases exit the 4.2L engine and flow into an AWE 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.

Configuration Details:

Touring Edition Exhaust System:

The RS5 Touring Edition Exhaust was designed for those seeking additional growl. The Touring Edition brings out an aggressive, raw V8 rumble. Still suitable for a daily driver, this "noticeable" system lets them know you're coming. The RS5 Track Edition system features AWE's patented drone-canceling 180 Technology® and reuses the stock downpipes to give the RS5 a true V8 sound.

Please note that this is a loud system and buyers should be aware. This product cannot be returned or exchanged based on sound satisfaction.

Resonated Downpipes:

AWE Resonated Downpipes are constructed from 2.5” T304 Stainless Steel and include a resonator to produce a mellow tone at part throttle without also hindering the sound at wide open throttle. These downpipes, in conjunction with the Touring Edition Exhaust, render the most civil soundtrack.

Non-Resonated Downpipes:

For RS5 owners seeking an even more aggressive sound in addition to our Touring Edition Exhaust systems, we offer our Non-Resonated Downpipes. AWE Non-Resonated Downpipes are constructed from 2.5” T304 Stainless Steel and remove an additional resonator to produce a louder and deeper tone to the exhaust note.  

As always, AWE Non-Resonated Downpipes are only recommended for those who like it loud, and again this product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
