Downpipe installation tip
Installing downpipes on these cars is arduous given the placement of the factory bolts. AWE had so much trouble that they made an AWE Tuning-grade tool to make it easier. If you're planning an install, our Downpipe Removal Tool is a must-have.
Please Note
None of the components of our S4 exhaust system affect or alter any of the emissions devices on the vehicle, and therefore are legal for street use.
As with all AWE Tuning exhaust products, each TIG weld is hand finished internally, and flange openings are size matched to their ports, all to produce the smoothest flow possible. It is this intensive attention to detail that sets AWE Tuning exhaust products heads and shoulders above the rest.
Note:
In limited cases, the factory downpipes have been known to emit minor rattling noises when paired with the AWE Tuning S4 exhaust system. The possibility of rattling is eliminated with the addition of AWE Tuning downpipes. AWE Tuning downpipes are package discounted when purchased with the exhaust.

love them
Love the sound of these. Not too loud at idle and cruise but open up when I get on the gas

Are they worth it? Ehh
I purchased the AWE resonated downpipes because I noticed that the flex joints in my stock downpipes were broken. I already had the AWE touring exhaust so why not have the whole exhaust AWE, right? The install was very easy with the AWE exhaust tool. If you don’t have that, you’ll be screwed. Not saying it’s impossible to do it without it but why spend anymore time under your car when you don’t need to.
First impressions were WOW, it was so quiet! I was used to the car sounding loud with the broken flex joints that when you start the car with the new downpipes, you can’t hear the car (that has since changed with the downpipes breaking in). I drove it on a long trip breaking in the resonators. The car doesn’t feel any faster. If there was a HP gain it’s single digits and for $1000 dollars, that’s insane. A better investment would’ve been a heat exchanger. Like I said, I purchased the downpipes cause my oem downpipes were broken. If your downpipes are ok, I’d say leave them alone. Also I can’t bring myself to buy oem downpipes when they’re only a few hundred dollars cheaper.
I’ve had the exhaust on for 2-3 weeks now and the resonators have wore in well. It sounds just like it did with stock downpipes but without all the leaks. The cabin doesn’t resonate at highways speeds. Around town, you’re not making any scenes. When you put the pedal down, it really opens up and that’s what makes a good exhaust in my mind. Loud when you want it and quiet when you take your grandmother to brunch.
