RS5 with aftermarket exhaust

RS5 sounds really good with AWE Tuning track edition.

Going to miss that high revving euro sound, now that all the brands are going to FI engines.

Nice video, awesome exhaust sound.

From what I've heard of the stock S5 and RS5 exhausts on the road, they are quite underwhelming.... this should be the stock exhaust for a car of this caliber.

First thing I did when I bought my S4 is put an AWE exhaust on it. Their stock exhaust systems make these high performance cars sound like a Camry. With that said, I'm still a bit underwhelmed by the sound of this RS5.

This is the S4 system:

i would sell my E93 in a second if i could buy back my S5 with AWE downpipes/exhuast.
it sounds better than my dads R8 V10 with stasis exhaust.
while it wasnt too fast.....it just sounded so muscular.
sighhhhhh

Understand you guys. That had to be one of the best sounding exhaust notes/gear changes ever. Coming from a person that bought an audio CD of 60 mintues of exotic engines, this ranks way up there!

The high revving and gear crackling sounds at 0:40, is almost similar to the LeMans cars IMO

Not sure what LeMans you've been watching but if nobody told me it was aftermarket I'd think it was stock.

Sounds badass for only a rear section exhaust.

Would like to hear a fully catless setup at 8,500 revs.

The LeMans car has a much higher pitch. You can tell they're both V8s but that's about where the similarities end.

Someone drive by my in a new one and I don't what he had done to the exhaust or anything but it sounded like a Harley Davidson just alot more me acing and loud as hell. Probably couldn't live with it but it was different that's for sure.

The exhaust sounds decent. Although the bouncing off the redline up shift's sounds terrible.

I like the sound of 40v S5's better. They had a deep growl that the new 32v V10-related lacks. Still a great sound.

It's not hitting the redline. DME allows to spit fuel into exhaust on upshifts.
