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 size and location of the ports and the chambers, AWE also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves re-join the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.
Tip options
Tip options are as follows - all of which include the AWE Tuning logo, and double walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage.
- 90mm Slash Cut Diamond Black Tips
- 90mm Slash Cut Chrome Silver Tips (included with this kit)
All tips are individually adjustable, so stagger and depth into bumper can be set according to personal taste.
Resonated or Non-Resonated?
AWE offers resonated and non-resonated exhaust systems. The resonated exhaust systems (strongly recommended for S5 Cabrio models) feature downpipes with resonators larger than the stock units in order to produce a mellow sound volume.
The optional non-resonated exhaust systems include downpipes that are suited for owners seeking a "loud" and aggressive sounding system. Both the resonated and non-resonated downpipe sections feature larger than stock tubing diameter.
Important Note: The non-resonated exhaust system is a loud system and buyers should be aware. The non-resonated exhaust systems cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.
