If you're looking to amp up your Audi S5's sound and performance, the AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust is where it's at. This isn't just any exhaust system; it's designed for those who want to take charge of their ride's growl. With non-resonated downpipes and a straight pipe setup, this thing gets loud—really loud. Just a heads up: if you’re not ready for some serious noise, this might not be for you. Once you go down this path, there’s no going back when it comes to sound preference, so prepare yourself!

The SwitchPath system gives you the freedom to control the volume and tone right from your fingertips. It comes with a handy remote that lets you decide when to keep things quiet in the morning or when to let loose and announce your arrival. Trust me, you’ll want that remote. While you can use the factory settings, pairing it with the SwitchPath Remote really takes the experience to the next level.

Now, let’s talk about the mid merge. AWE designed it specifically for the Sportback’s unique undercarriage, so you get that killer AWE tone without any resonators getting in the way. This means the sophisticated howl of the 3.0T engine is preserved and won’t fade over time. It's all about keeping that sound crisp and clean, just like it should be.

When it comes to the exhaust tips, you’ve got options. All the tips sport the AWE logo and are double-walled, ensuring they stay shiny even after some serious driving. You can choose between 102mm or 90mm sizes in either Chrome Silver or Diamond Black to match your style. Plus, they’re adjustable, so you can set the depth into the bumper just how you like it.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:

  • Max gains of 16 hp and 17 lb-ft of torque at the crank—yeah, that’s real power.
  • Controlled via an optional handheld remote or factory valve programming.
  • Includes downpipes and a precision-engineered x-pipe in all editions.
  • Works with both standard and sport differentials.
  • Available in 102mm or 90mm double-walled tips, in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black.
  • Proudly designed and manufactured in-house at AWE in the USA.
  • Clean, straight-through design that maximizes performance—less is definitely more here.
  • Handcrafted from dual 2.5" CNC mandrel-bent U.S.-sourced .065" wall T304L stainless steel.
  • Direct bolt-on system for a factory-like install—easy as pie!
  • Perfect fitment guaranteed—no surprises here.
  • No Check Engine Light—yup, you read that right!
  • Comes with the AWE Lifetime Exhaust Warranty for peace of mind.

THE BASICS

AWE wants you happy - let's work together to get any issues resolved! Please note these key points before proceeding with any claim:
  • Start at the original place of purchase. 100% of claims start with the original place of purchase, and all refunds, if granted, are through the original place of purchase. Call them first. Need their contact information? Try the AWE dealer map.
  • If you remove, we can not approve. If a product issue is discovered after installation, do not remove the product before receiving confirmation of a return approval from the original place of purchase. On-car information can often lead to diagnosis and action plans; AWE requires a chance to address in this manner. Post-install products removed prior to return authorization will be denied any warranty claim.
  • Any alterations or attempts to fix will void the warranty. This includes welding, bending, or any ad-hoc methods that alter the product in any way.
  • All warranties are for the original owner only. Second owners can purchase replacement components at a discount, directly from AWE or from participating dealers.
  • If you are a dealer or bought through AWE directly, fill out the form.
  • Orders or parts of orders canceled more than seven (7) calendar days after placement will be assessed a 20% raw-materials allocation fee. AWE recommends that dealers request down payments from consumers given the handcrafted nature of many AWE products.
Discontinued Products

In the event that a warranty claim is approved by AWE on a product that has been discontinued, AWE will repair the product if it is deemed repairable. At AWE's sole discretion and if applicable, a substitution of a comparable product may be granted should a repair not be deemed possible.

  • Exclusions
    In all cases, AWE must be afforded the opportunity to remedy the situation before removal of the product from the vehicle. Installations deemed errant AWE will result in denied claims. Any evidence of offroad abuse or use of the product in motorsports or racing conditions is grounds for warranty denial. Warranties will be voided if the product is improperly serviced, modified, or used in a way not intended by the Manufacturer. The Consumer is responsible for ensuring that the product is installed in a safe and proper manner, and should cease use of the product immediately if an unsafe or improper condition is noted. If an unsafe or improper condition is noted, the Consumer should then immediately contact the facility where the product was purchased.

    Thorough periodic cleaning of AWE tips is required as general maintenance, and must be done prior to submitting a warranty claim on tips, as returned tips found to have been dirty (and not defective) will have forfeited any core charges.
