Hell yea SQ5 content! It's the cat/downpipe that really wakes up this V6. I even went high flow cat and with the OEM exhaust behind it (valves open) it sounds fantastic. Can't wait to see the rest of your build! Jealous of the rear bumper you're gonna install, I wanna get that done this year.
I have that same exhaust hanger removal tool. Even if you only use it one time, it's worth it. I gotta be honest, at least through the video's audio this AWE exhaust doesn't sound all that different than just cutting out the big resonator. EDIT: The one thing I'm jealous about the B9 vs my B9.5 is the round speedo in the digital dash.
Diffuser can be quite difficult (not saying it's impossible) to swap out since those fake exhaust tips are integrated into it. It also depends on if he has tow bar connection. I learned it the hardway and wasted 450€.
it sounds great like all the 3.0 Audis but I still cant believe that Audi did fake exhaust this bad there really isn't any excuse for that when your paying for a car as beautiful as this. Anyways I love your content keep up your great work!
All these years I never thought of using a screw driver for the hangers been using my hands all these years... all those hours spending taking hangers off wasted...
Hey Eli, any chance you happen to know off hand how thick the transmission tunnel brace spacers are? I had the same problem with my B8.5 S4 and just removed the brace altogether, but wouldn’t mind putting it back on without my AWE clunking off it all the time! Thanks!
I'm contemplating running this setup vs running a catted DP and x-pipe. I just don't know if this exhaust setup is worth $2K+ ? Subjective yes, but inquiring minds wanna know lol
As a C7.5 S6 owner who loved your content, I was bummed when you sold yours. Luckily, I just picked up a '19 SQ5 Prestige for the wife! Over/under on how long it'll stay stock?
Great exhaust sound! Are all Audi engines "drony" or is it just the V6 because its lacking 2 cylinders? I went space and beyond to research the right exhaust for the supercharged 3.0 V6 and ended up with a milltek non-resonated which I'm real happy with. AWE sounds a little better due to the x-pipe but i couldn't justify buying 2 downpipes on top of the exhaust price.

Did high flow cats make a power gain and how much?
The exhaust hangar removal tool is one of the best tools I bought.

A nice middle ground of sounding great outside but not too loud for a family mobile. The turn down... That’s bad Audi!
Was hoping to see a new diffuser and real exhaust tips (like a B8.5 SQ5). It sounds phenomenal however!
I mentioned that in the video! Need to lock in the exhaust setup before I have tips welded on. No point in doing the effort if I end up switching!
Diffuser has to change! Otherwise it sounds awesome👍🏼
Yep. But at least in EU it's pretty much only ABT that does SQ5 diffusers with real exhausts
Definitely
@mohamad what diffuser do you have fitted on your sq5?
@@Matt-rk3de i don’t have one..?

I wish that AWE would do a exhaust for my f10 535i, nice install and sound.
I've got an AWE exhaust on my GTI
Gang
Pure750 time! The SQ5 sounds so good 😮💨
Great video as always keep up the good work!
Thanks very much!!
Are u in Massachusetts?
How many miles on the SQ5 when you bought it?

Hey how is the AWE touring? Do you think it’s good enough after one year? I know SQ5 is not your main build
No test without exhaust lol. Love the sound!
LOL. A first for an IgnitionTube exhaust video. Sorry to let you down :(
would this fit on the normal B9 Q5?
Sounds great but i think you'll like it resonated even more. Then no more 1600-2k drone for you my friend haha. Can't go wrong with either though
What wheel size and tire size are you running!
It sounds so good 😩
Awesome video. Subscribed! What exhaust would you recommend for a 2013 Q5 2.0T? Thanks!
Do you have a vendor in mind for the real bumper? I’m absolutely ready to replace mine but don’t want to pay ABT prices
I have an MTM bumper painted already, just waiting to finalize my exhaust setup
So wait, this Gen SQ5 is a twin turbo v6 with a Hot-V layout?
single turbo!
All these years I never thought of using a screw driver for the hangers been using my hands all these years... all those hours spending taking hangers off wasted...
Did you got check engine light after this?
No
Is this kit affordable?

I would say roughly a half inch? Hit up AWE, they'll have the exact measurements!
@@IgnitionTube Much appreciated Eli, thank you!
I got mtm aerodynamic body kit, with that real exhaust it sounds way better than the fake exhaust. its your turn to choose ABT or MTM brother
I have a painted MTM bumper in my basement haha
@@IgnitionTube awsome, cant wait to see you put that on it. :)
Did you get a horsepower bump from this? I've heard that deleting the resonators gives you the same results.
Nope! Never seen horsepower gain from an exhaust other than something that modifies the catalytic converter
@IgnitionTube how much gain with high flow cats?
Shoulda done the DP while there. You did 90% of the hard work.
If you have questions, you can reach out to me. I know this platform inside and out. Just ask Carter or Tyler ;).

just delete all 3 resonators and keep stock mufflers. will sound better than this
@@raj-ok3il it probably will but it might also drone too
@@lowkey.engineer not with stock mufflers

they're actually pretty great stock, I drove mine with spacers and lowering links as is for like 5 months
you have to get visible tail pipes. Thats the only thing I dont like on the B9
Have the bumper in my basement!
Any issues with the rocker arms? Thinking to get b9, but worried about the '18 model.
Wait until you change the DP😉
now drop in a TTE turbski 🤝
I have a Pure750 in my basement haha

I think it's this motor specifically, I had zero drone on my touring setup on the S4 and SQ.
Just wait till the downpipe is on it will scream
I cant take the drone of my 4.2 v8 rs5 at 2000rpm in comfort mode while driving slowly. Then I decide to get my valve flaps back.
I hear farts.
