Product Description

The AWE 3015-43897 is the Touring Edition Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2022-2026 Audi S3 Sedan (8Y) with Diamond Black tips -- AWE's drone-free, daily-driver-focused configuration for the 8Y S3 platform. The Touring Edition leverages AWE's patented 180 Technology® to eliminate exhaust drone across all RPMs and driving conditions, producing a refined, deeper exhaust tone that enhances the driving experience without the interior resonance that makes aggressive exhausts fatiguing on long drives. It delivers the same dyno-verified gains of +7 wheel horsepower and +2 lb-ft of torque as the Track Edition, with the same CNC mandrel-bent 3" and 2.5" .065"-wall T304L stainless steel construction and factory downpipe slip-fit inlet adapter. Four individually adjustable 4.5" double-walled slash-cut diamond black tips exit at the rear, and AWE's Perfect Fitment Guarantee covers the installation experience. The No CEL Guarantee ensures no check engine lights appear when the system is installed properly on an otherwise stock vehicle. This is the Diamond Black tip variant -- the Chrome Silver version is available as AWE 3015-42897. Drivers who prefer a louder, more aggressive sound profile should consider the Track Edition (3020-43897 Black / 3020-42897 Chrome). Conversion kits are available separately to switch between editions without replacing the entire system. Handcrafted and manufactured in-house at AWE's facility in Pennsylvania, USA, and backed by AWE's Lifetime Warranty.
