When people are looking for clips of different exhausts to know which one they might want to buy, THIS is the kind of video they're looking for. Every single exhaust review video needs to have this level of detail.
I wish all the companies on here advertising their catbacks and downpipes for 3.0T platform would have recorded their sound clips like this. This is the only video with stock exhaust as a frame of reference for volume and it helps a lot.
Bro this is the best exhaust review video I have ever seen. Tbh if u bought different exhausts for the s5 and keep making vids like this I think ur channel would blow up. Or any part for the car tbh that makes a significant different! Great video!
Looking to buy an S5 soon and this is literally the best exhaust review i've ever seen. What mods have you done to get the supercharger whining so loudly, just the air intake?
@brunomatassini9879 For what I know, the 6MT and 7AT have a similar gearing setup. So for my car when in 6th gear, the drone isn't that bad. It's still a loud exhaust system, but I wouldn't consider the drone in 6th gear to be annoying.
The track can have some drone around 2000 rpms but I wouldn't say it's too bad at all. I'd still buy it again over the touring even if they were the same price.
It definitely does. I have the Integrated Engineering Cold Air Intake. Before the intake, the supercharger noise was pretty much nonexistent. Now you can hear it whine just like in the video.
Thank you! I don't have the link, but I bought it right off AWE's website. I bought the AWE Track Exhaust with 102mm diamond black tips. I did not buy any downpipes. I left the stock ones on the car.
I listened to them and I was trying to figure out track with res or touring with non res and this video I'm staging gave me my answer th-cam.com/video/t5gOAJxJKQU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dlhNwait42AZ8eBq I'm going touring with non res personally
Nice video. Like everyone said, very informative. In your opinion if changing out the stock downpipes to the resonated, would it decrease the drone alot, or not much? What do you think?
In my opinion, the drone would be lessened if you get the resonated downpipes. I've been thinking of doing that myself. And my diffuser is the ECS Tuning diffuser for the S5.
@jasonsmith7809 yeah I noticed that right after I installed them, but went back in a few days later, readjusted and it's perfect now. It took me like 10 minutes.
hey nice video! random question is your car black or a dark blue? mine is dark blue, and im debating the black badges/ chrome delete. i really like how your car looks
@@brandonswaby6453 ahhh i see i see. looks absolutely beautiful man, those wheels too. honestly the whole car is the best possible spec in my opinion haha. and i think your video has convinced me to get that awe track. im getting test pipes, and jhm hi flow catted & baffled downpipes as well.
@Mizaq Enyad I've changed my exhaust setup since this video. Instead of test pipes, I gutted the cats, and that helped to cut out a lot of the rasp that comes with test pipes. It is a little more raspy than in this video. But I'm definitely still a fan. I might do a follow-up video with my new setup.
@@brandonswaby6453 ah i see. yea everyone keep recommending doing that with the cats, maybe ill go that route. but check out the hi-flow catted downpipes JHM makes. they cut out the rasp and smell i've been told.
A few months later, it has still been just as enjoyable. I love the sound and in my opinion the noise level is very liveable. This car is my daily driver.
There definitely is some drone with this exhaust. If you're accelerating at around 2000 rpms, it is the most noticeable. For me, it really isn't that bad, especially because you won't be in that drone frequency for more than a couple of seconds. Even with the drone, I would still buy the exhaust again.
@brandonswaby6453 question for u does the dsg transmission seem like notchey to u at times like a bit clunky going into reverse at times ? Just curious
@Opportunities88 hmmm, what made my transmission feel a little smother shifting into gear was replacing the transmission mount. I don't know if that will fix your issue though.

Mine wasn’t too shabby, although the neighbors weren’t thrilled 🤷♂️
This is by far the best exhaust video I’ve ever watched. Wish they were all like this
Thanks brother!

holy shit this is a masterpiece of a video. So informational and overall good quality. Wish there were more creators that did videos like you do.
@@paulsf2184 🙏🏾 thank you
Excellent work, this should be a template for others who make exhaust videos! Knocked it out of the park with this work
I appreciate it 👊🏾
don’t know how this doesn’t have more views, sick video
Appreciate it brother!

now this is a quality video. picking up my b8.5 s5 here in 4 days
Picking up my B9 in 5months
@@evin3457 congrats! the b8.5 has been amazing these 5 days of owning it. seriously such a blast
Congrats! I hope you're enjoying it so far.
@@collinstevens3672hey, how is your S5 going? Still loving it? Any issues arisen?

Thanks! It means a lot. I changed my exhaust setup a little so I might be making another video soon.
Awesome vid I’m running the same intake, I get my track exhaust put on in a few days. Super hyped.
Cool! It's a great sounding system.
so is the track AWE worth it?
What an informative and detailed video. Thanks!
I appreciate it 👊🏾
Thanks for the vid. Im getting the track as well soon. I have a manual so the drone shouldnt be too bad. Not my daily so even better.
I appreciate it thanks! The drone in the auto isn't a problem for me, so you should be fine with the manual.
Amazing work. Thankyou for making this!
Thanks. I'm happy it helped!
Looking to buy an S5 soon and this is literally the best exhaust review i've ever seen. What mods have you done to get the supercharger whining so loudly, just the air intake?
Thanks for the feedback! At the time of this video, the only mod I had was the cold air intake. Makes the whine so addictive.
@@brandonswaby6453Just bought a 6MT S5, how is the highway drone with this exhaust setup?
@brunomatassini9879 For what I know, the 6MT and 7AT have a similar gearing setup. So for my car when in 6th gear, the drone isn't that bad. It's still a loud exhaust system, but I wouldn't consider the drone in 6th gear to be annoying.
@@brandonswaby6453 Thanks for the info brother
best damn exhaust video . damn!
Thanks 🫡
Much respect to you sir
Thank you!
Thank you making this video.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you 🙏🏾 great video… I’m convinced 🎉
Thanks! I hope I made it clear!
It doesn't sounds obnoxiously loud I've been trying to decide whether to go touring or track. I was afraid track would be to much but I like this.
The track can have some drone around 2000 rpms but I wouldn't say it's too bad at all. I'd still buy it again over the touring even if they were the same price.
Where did u buy the exhaust ? I’m looking to get the same set up sounds great . Great video as well love the way it was put together.
Thanks! I bought it straight off of AWE's website.
@@brandonswaby6453 thanks
Amazing video this is exactly what I was looking for!
What are your wheel specs? Those RSE’s look great.
I’m not sure if it would, but does the air intake amplify the supercharger noises at all?
It definitely does. I have the Integrated Engineering Cold Air Intake. Before the intake, the supercharger noise was pretty much nonexistent. Now you can hear it whine just like in the video.
Awesome car and video
Thanks man!
Awesome vid, I’m sold! Would you have a link to your exact setup? I see AWE has several options.
Thank you! I don't have the link, but I bought it right off AWE's website. I bought the AWE Track Exhaust with 102mm diamond black tips. I did not buy any downpipes. I left the stock ones on the car.
Thx man I still don’t know if I should go with the track or touring I wanna go catless in the future so I don’t know
Yeah I'm thinking about going catless later too. But for how it is now, I really like the sound of the track exhaust.
Touring if going catless, then get resonated dp if you change stock trust me, non res is simply to loud
I listened to them and I was trying to figure out track with res or touring with non res and this video I'm staging gave me my answer

That was good video broh! was it just an exaust mod you had or did you have other mods? v8 i assume?
@@Mike-re2ok Thanks 👊🏾. All I had done at the time was an Integrated Engineering Cold Air Intake on the supercharged V6.
@brandonswaby6453 ok cool! I have a '22 s5. TBH i dont like the pops. I like the exhaust to be straight up.
@@Mike-re2ok can't go wrong with that!
great vid
Thanks!
Great video! What size tips did you get and is your car stock?
Thank! I got the 102mm tips. At the time of the video. All I had was the Integrated Engineering Intake. I had the stock tune also.
@@brandonswaby6453 I think 102 mm tips is the way to go! And ok cool cause I have 034 intake right now and no tune as well.
@@ulyssess7554Nice! I think you're really going to like the sound.
Is it hard to get the tips to be perfectly aligned? The rt ones look off a bit. Just wondering if they are a pain to set up?
@jasonsmith7809 yeah I noticed that right after I installed them, but went back in a few days later, readjusted and it's perfect now. It took me like 10 minutes.
@@brandonswaby6453 sweet!
Are those rotiforms? They look awesome
Thanks! Yeah, they're Rotiform RSE'S.
whats that noise when you upshift? sounds rly good
Thanks! We call those "DSG Farts" in the community. It makes the noise when the automatic cars upshift with good acceleration.
You sold me on this lol
Lol you'll definitely like it!
hey nice video! random question is your car black or a dark blue? mine is dark blue, and im debating the black badges/ chrome delete. i really like how your car looks
Hey thanks. My car is black. The Audi color is Phantom Black Pearl. I got gloss black badges too so that it still looks bright enough in the sunlight.
@@brandonswaby6453 ahhh i see i see. looks absolutely beautiful man, those wheels too. honestly the whole car is the best possible spec in my opinion haha. and i think your video has convinced me to get that awe track. im getting test pipes, and jhm hi flow catted & baffled downpipes as well.

@Mizaq Enyad Yeah my setup now definitely stinks lol. I haven't seen it done, but I think that would be the best sound setup for our cars. Good luck!
Could you please include a link to the exhaust brother?
Hey, I ordered it straight off of the AWE website.
Are you running stock catalytic converter or is it gutted? This is a catback exhaust, right?
Exactly. This is a catback exhaust. Shown in this video is the AWE catback with the stock catalytic converter.
Do you have an update on how it's been
A few months later, it has still been just as enjoyable. I love the sound and in my opinion the noise level is very liveable. This car is my daily driver.
How loud is it in comfort mode compared to dynamic mode?
I honestly don't really notice a difference between the two modes.
Can you still hear the supercharger like you could with the stock exhaust?
I should say from inside the car
It is a little harder to hear it at lower rpms. But when you get higher up in the rev range you can definitely hear it just as well.
How long does it take for it to be shipped out?
It took about a week to get my exhaust.
how much money was the exhaust? did you install it by yourself?
The exhaust retails for about $1500. I went to a shop to have it installed.
links to exhaust setup
I bought it right off AWE's website.
How's the drone on this?
There definitely is some drone with this exhaust. If you're accelerating at around 2000 rpms, it is the most noticeable. For me, it really isn't that bad, especially because you won't be in that drone frequency for more than a couple of seconds. Even with the drone, I would still buy the exhaust again.
How’s the drone?
The drone is there with moderate throttle at lower rpms, but I have gotten used to it, and it's not that bad.
@@brandonswaby6453 nice. Thanks
Test driven an S5 with an AWE Track Exhaust before and it sounds great but the cold starts are brutal. Your neighbors will hate you.
Yeah, the cold starts are pretty loud. Just be extra polite to your neighbors lol.
why would you do that??
Why would you do what?
For anyone asking.. sounds amazing but drone is absolutely horrendous all the time.
In my opinion, it definitely can be bad lol, but you do get used to it. After a few months I didn't really think about it as much.
gotta go 034
Good video but it sounds like touring
@Opportunities88 thanks. It still is a smooth and clean sound even though it is the track.
@@brandonswaby6453 I have a b8.5 s4 with the awe touring and stage 2 tune and stage 1 trans tune
