The handcrafted AWE Tuning Q5 3.0T Touring Edition Exhaust was specially crafted for the Eight-speed Tiptronic® transmission, featuring an x-pipe for enhanced exhaust tone, and AWE Tuning 180 Technology™  to eliminate drone. This is the perfect performance compliment for one of the finest SUVs available.

Tuning for the 8 Speed Tiptronic Transmission

Due to the weight and aerodynamics of the Q5, the 3.0T engine needs to work a bit harder to move it down the highway. The extra effort creates more exhaust sound volume, which became quite a challenge in developing performance exhaust. Special attention would be required - as well as the application of AWE Tuning's AWE Tuning 180 Technology™.

Sound Perfection: AWE Tuning 180 Technology™

As exhaust gases exit the 3.0T engine and flow into an AWE Tuning 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 ports and the chambers' size and location, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. When the reflected sound waves re-join the main exhaust flow, the specific timing creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.
