Mine is a 2013 and I have about 78k miles on it. I babied it but the exhaust clamp came off on the highway and by the time I pulled over the stock exhaust had come apart. I finally bought this exhaust after years of looking at it lol.
@@DavidLopez-gv8mo love the touring on B8/8.5. It’s the perfect sound without being too bad in the cabin. I think they also sell a track to touring conversion package
Depends on the car but a stage 1 shouldn’t hurt things too much. The 3.0 s5s take nicely to tunes. My friend has a stage 2 tune with the extra pulley and hasn’t had any problems.
I have a stock B9 S5, and have been debating between track and touring, too. I’m definitely not trying to get pulled over or wake the neighbors, but I do want to make my presence known. Would you say touring accomplishes all that?
To be honest, the track exhaust for the B9 isn’t crazy loud, but sounds great. Check out my B9 track exhaust install on my channel! We did it 2 weeks ago 🤘🏼
Wow, very nice exhaust choice! I'm looking to get a b8 S5 manual very soon, would you recommend the same exhaust for the B8?? I was looking at the Milltek
@@MikeMcclendon1377 B8.5, yep! I’m really liking the sound of the AWE touring. Not sure what the price is for milltek but I think this exhaust is well worth it
@@MikeMcclendon1377 I'm new to this channel so unsure as to what other things kev had done to his S5, however I have the miltek exhaust on mine and sounds very similar to the AWE system but it has a very smooth, deep note throughout the range. I would also strongly recommend getting a nice open cone filter with a heat shield like the FORGE or REVO intake kits. The supercharger sound is amazing!
What does it do when you put your car in sport or dynamic with the exhaust? I have a stock b8.5 s5 and it gets louder when I go into sport do you still have that ability? Thanks
These 6 cyl S5’s have power but they sound like garbage no matter what exhaust. All sound gutless and raspy. Similar to the BMW’s of this generation. B8 V8 S5/RS5 are the only beautiful sounding engines for the S platform.
@Jon Pey Only good sounding 6 cyl from VW/Audi was the VR6. No 6 cyl engine produced by them even comes close to that raw VR sound. We need it back supercharged/twin turbo.
@@robertlaroche6679 I agree. VR is a legendary engine all around. These 3.0’s can make strong power for sure but I could never justify buying one because of the sound.
To be loud, its loud. But the sound itself..... beurk. It sousnds like an annoying teenager's civic. So in fact its obnoxious, annoying and frankly, i'd be ashamed to drive with that. It lacks graves, loudness, growl. I know its a v6 and not a v8, so its harder to get a deep growling sound like an f-type or my cayenne V8. But I remember putting a scorpion exhaust system on my 2.0l turbo impreza back in the days and it managed to sound almost like a V8. I know its just a question of personnal preference, but for me, if you are to have something loud that people can hear, at least, it has to be a nice sound (like a v8). Not something that makes you look like a teenager with a rust pierced exhaust... But the important is that you like it bro. That, and that I don't have to hear it... lol
Good thing you aren't driving it, and better if no one has to be in your company. You seem like a pretty lousy person. Your opinion was unnecessary, no one forced you to watch the video.
Dude yes! The AWE Touring is hands down the best for the supercharged V6. Love it.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼loving it!
Getting mine today! But wont be on until the weekend
@@monclersupreme4962 awesome! Congrats
@Ralph Depino same shits ticking beast I love it on my s5
Sounding amazing 😍😍 love it
@@r_bandz6936 thank you!!! It’s awesome
🎉 Congrats. I had the same exhaust for four years. Super happy with the AWE touring.
Happy to hear that!
Nice bro! It’ll sound even better in a week or two once it’s broken in and all the new metal gets coated in soot
Loving it!
Sound so good!! getting my Bullx exhaust on in 3 days! So hyped haha
Nice! RS3?

Very nice, I almost think it sounds like the B8 RS5 when you were revving it... Beautiful car!
thanks a lot!!
Ordered mine and on its way to Ghana....thanks for this video
Did you get the resonated down pipes ? Which I believe are recommended by AWE for B8/8.5’s V6 supercharger automatics ?!
Any update? My s4 has a pretty bad drone, so I’m thinking go of getting the AWE touring so I don’t go deaf.

@@KevG thanks for the quick reply. Yeah that’s what I’m looking for: a good sound without much drone
Hey, little late to the party here… is that the Touring exhaust without any other aftermarket parts in the exhaust system?
You chain is rattling at startup. which is common thing for the 3.0 tfsi engines.
Yeeeep😂
@@KevG mine is rattling too at 185k km
Bro it’s 🔥🔥🔥 perfect sound, I like it👌👍💪
Thank you! Agreed, it's just what this needed
@@KevG Hi bro!😉What did you have installed, resonated downpipes or non-resonated? What's better for audi s5 b8.5?🤔
is this resonated or non resonated system???
ok, with an actual exhaust, I now dont feel so bad about thinking of this as a contender for next car
It’s a great exhaust. Do it!
Not a fan of the high revving Honda Civic cracking sound but the lower revs sounds good
Beautiful. Check out the ecs tuning rear diffuser. Makes a huge difference
Ended up doing the carbon imports diffuser on this car!
@@KevG noice
I'm going catless, oem catback, +2 ultraquiets. 3.0 just sounds like ass. Doesn't matter what you do to it.
Is it resonated or non resonated?
Hey bro i just got this exhaust. My car doesnt seem this loud. Does it need more time to break in?
Also do you know if I get a stage 1 tune will it effect my cars longevity/reliably?
Depends on the car but a stage 1 shouldn’t hurt things too much. The 3.0 s5s take nicely to tunes. My friend has a stage 2 tune with the extra pulley and hasn’t had any problems.
I put Scorpion exhaust on my 215 S4. I chose it cuz it's a bit quieter than this. AWE was just too loud for me.
I'm liking it a lot so far. Noise level is fine with me!
I got the same in my s5 b8.5 , really brutal sound, people are afraid :D
How is the drone on the inside?
Really not bad because it still has mufflers. Definitely a bit louder sound at lower RPM’s but it’s a much better sound in my opinion
Where can I get the paddle shifters you have for the 3 rd time. Thanks
Aliexpress ?
does the AWE touring edition exhaust pass emission test ?
I live in a state with no inspections, but I assume? Still have cat and mufflers. I’d check more into it
Sounds great bro! Did you remove your cats ?
No I didn’t, stock cats
@KevG OK thanks for that bro ! 🙏🏾 truly appreciate the response
Nice man , taking my b8 s4 in today for down pipes ... was your tips 90 or 102
Thanks! 102mm

Why are they cutting it to start with? I thought awe made a direct bolt on lol
I had a previous exhaust modification lol. Needed to do some custom work. AWE is very easy to install
I'm planning on going with awe track
Awesome!
Also, you have just stock downpipes?
Yep!
@@KevG check your IG bro

what size are the tips
102mm
Seems like there is def more of a drone in the cab of the car
What lip do you have on the trunk?
Carbon imports V1 Spoiler!
@@KevG Thanks, just ordered one
@@GaryRudolph awesome!
Do you have a link and price for the exact exhaust you purchased?
AWE Touring SKU: 3010-42030 $1,800ish
@@KevG Kev man, thanks for the quick reply. 102mm or 90mm tips? Just got my baby and need to get her right.
@@KevG also noticed they had Polished and Diamond black
@@Jman45624 I got the polished! Either way they’ll get pretty matte looking. I ceramic coated the tips and they are still looking great though🤘🏼
@@KevG love that man! Thank you for the help!!
All these 3.0’s sound like a raspy civic no matter what you put on them. Car look clean AF though
Sounds better than it used to! Thanks🤘🏼
What does it do when you put your car in sport or dynamic with the exhaust? I have a stock b8.5 s5 and it gets louder when I go into sport do you still have that ability? Thanks
Holds revs longer. The exhaust isn't valved so nothing really different as far as noise level!
Ok thanks
I need to find some Audi boys that will help me with my car lol
😂😂they come in handy
Wait till you put those test pipes in sir! The rasp will be back and worse then ever 😂
Do you have test pipes with awe resonated dp and touring exhaust?
Sounds fantastic! Just need the pop and bang tune :)
To be honest I’m not a huge fan of the pops and bangs! I like how the sound is now :)
@@KevG Thank you. Seems to be a unpopular opinion but I totally agree. Pops and bangs is for kids with a mk5 Golf GTI. Not for a Audi S5.
You know pop and bang tunes are bad right

Love the power, glad it’s sounding better than it was!
This is highly subjective. It sounds awesome in my opinion. Much better than any 4cyl
None of these B8 with the 3.0 sound good. Awe, miltek, Akrapovic don’t matter. All sound like shit on these engines.
Sounds much better than the custom exhaust I had!
