Product Description
Sound. Performance. Options.
SwitchPath Exhaust:
Valve closed for sophistication, valve open for aggression. All at the touch of the SwitchPath™ Remote button. Tone at your fingertips.
Equipped with a 3” resonated downpipe, a 3” valved straight section on the driver’s side and 2.5” piping with a muffler on the opposing passenger’s side, the AWE SwitchPath Exhaust is capable of changing soundtracks instantly with the touch of the SwitchPath Remote button at any time. Drone-free mood control accompanied by addicting, crackling gear shifts and impressive performance. Constant, all-around satisfaction.
Note: you may notice a slight rattle upon cold start as you would with many factory valved systems. This sound will go away within a few minutes and you will be off to the races in no time.
What’s in the box?
Complete SwitchPath Exhaust, SwitchPath Remote kit, two 102mm tips in desired finish, and all required installation hardware.
Touring Edition Exhaust:
The AWE Touring Edition features a 3” Non-Resonated Downpipe, and is fully armed with AWE's proprietary drone-canceling solution,180 Technology on all sides... enabling the perfect tone, minus the drone.
The outcome? The ultimate mix of performance and sophistication. A direct bolt-on, straight-through design, the Touring Edition Exhaust delivers a civil, smooth soundtrack throughout the range while providing an enhanced in-cabin driving experience in any Drive Select mode.
Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology.
As exhaust gases exit the B9 A5’s 2.0T 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 rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. More on AWE 180 Technology in the tab above.
What’s in the box?
Complete Touring Edition Exahust, two 102mm tips in desired finish, and all required installation hardware.
Track Edition Exhaust:
The Track Edition Exhaust is for drivers who want to keep it cranked to 11 at all times. The Track Edition Exhaust takes the engineered design of the Touring Edition Exhaust, including the 3” Non-Resonated Downpipe, and replaces the rear AWE 180 Technology® resonators with Track Edition straight pipe sections, completely uncorking the B9 A5.This version is known to get rowdy in the mid range, and may be too much for many. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself.

Complete Track Edition Exhaust, two 102mm tips in desired finish, and all required installation hardware.
Conversion Kits:
It’s too loud! It’s too quiet!
Don’t worry. If you’re looking to crank up a notch or bring it down, perfectly engineered upgrade paths are available. Turn your Touring Edition to a Track Edition, or vice versa, with ease. Simply unclamp the rear Touring or Track Edition sections and replace with the new configuration.
Tip Options:
All tip options include the AWE logo, and double walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.
