A true, dual 3" T304L stainless steel configuration featuring a precision engineered x-pipe specific for the RS5's 2.9TT, and topped off with AWE's proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology. The result is a menacing, aggressive soundtrack throughout the range with a drone-free cabin experience under cruising conditions. RS 5 owners, this is the double-edged sword you've been waiting for.
As exhaust gases exit the RS 5s' 2.9L engine and flow into an AWE 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, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. Call it science, call it magic, or call it 180 Technology by AWE. More in the tab above.
