For our Q5 3.2L Exhaust, we knew the tone and volume had to be spot on. It needed to deliver an exhilarating wail at full throttle yet be quiet and civil during part throttle, around town driving. Countless research and development efforts by our Fabrication and Engineering Departments have yielded the finest Q5 exhausts on the market.

Featuring an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust tone and specially designed Helmholtz Resonators to eliminate drone, our Q5 3.2L Exhaust family is the perfect Performance compliment for the daily driven vehicle.

There are two variations for the Q5 3.2L Exhaust: Resonated and Non Resonated.

Q5 3.2L Resonated System

The Q5 3.2L Resonated System offers AWE Tuning Downpipes in conjunction with the cat back exhaust to offer one of the most sophisticated pitches on the road. Our acclaimed Resonated Downpipes feature larger than stock resonators in order to produce a more subtle sound volume.

Q5 3.2L Non-Resonated System

A cat back exhaust system that mates up with the factory downpipes, the Non-Resonated system is for those looking for a more aggressive head-turning sound, with all the same benefits as the more subtle Resonated System.

Highlights of both systems:

Hand-crafted, every detail of these exhausts was labored over to ensure maximum performance and longevity:

• 8hp, 7tq at the crank
• Increased pipe diameter to 2.5" to better let the engine exhale
• Strategic elimination of mufflers to release tone when uncorked
• Available with Polished Silver or Diamond Black adjustable tips
• Engineered, developed, tested and manufactured in-house
• Thick .065" wall T304 stainless steel tubing
• High quality stainless steel band clamps
• Stainless steel center muffler with OEM grade stainless steel wool and German composite packing material
• Lifetime Warranty

Topped off with notable 3.5 inch slash cut tips, available in standard Polished Silver or our distinct Diamond Black plating. The tips sport engraved AWE Tuning logos and are double walled to ensure a mirror polish, even under hard usage

No Drone. Guaranteed.

The Helmholtz Resonators used in these systems are truly special units and are the key to eliminating drone.

"With the knowledge gained over hundreds of hours developing the Helmholtz resonators for the 3.0T engine..." states Ron Mangus, AWE Tuning's Manager of Fabrication, "...we set out to develop a refined option for the Q5 3.2 that would set a new standard, and that's exactly what our team accomplished."

When combating drone with traditional perforated style mufflers/resonators the system traditionally needs to be made "quieter" to eliminate the unpleasant sound at specific frequencies. But the Helmholtz units allow us to isolate unpleasant frequencies and eliminate them without changing the volume of the exhaust systems.

Our exhaust systems are hand built works of art, are award winning, and are what your Audi deserves.
