    Agile & aggressive. Presenting the AWE Catback Exhaust Suite for the Audi 8Y S3.


    The Options: 

    Two flavors each featuring a 3” inlet of the mid-pipe to accommodate further modification upstream without disruption, resonated mid pipe, and a stamped stainless merge in the rear for a smooth transition from single 3” to dual 2.5”.


    Touring Edition:

    Refined in and out. At the intersection of sophistication and aggression lies the Touring Edition Exhaust – a deep, constant full-bodied soundtrack, and a completely comfortable highway experience thanks to the 180 Technology® resonators in the rear.

    AWE’s patented drone-killing 180 Technology® isolates very particular frequencies that cause discomfort in the cabin. 180 Technology® resonators feature zero packing material to prevent tone change over time, while also featuring a straight-through design for optimal flow. Their sole purpose is to destroy drone-prone frequencies while providing an uncongested exhaust note paired with straight-pipe performance.

     

    Track Edition:

    For those who like their volume like their speed the Track Edition omits AWE’s 180 Technology® resonators in exchange for raw stainless steel. It’s lighter and louder (read: more present on the highway). 

    This version is known to get rowdy, and may be too much for some. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself.


    Tailored Tips:

    All tip options include the AWE logo and double-walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. Each tip outlet is adjustable to easily achieve perfect fitment within the valance, and the tips themselves are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.

    • Quad 4.5” slash-cut chrome silver tips
    • Quad 4.5” slash-cut diamond black tips

     

    Conversion Kits:

    AWE makes it easy to convert existing Track Editions into Touring Editions, or vice versa, if you decide at a later date to turn your interior volume up or down. Kits include the rear Touring or Track Edition components only. 


    Nope, they’re not valved:

    The 8Y S3 was the perfect platform to ditch the confines of valving and go against the grain. 100% straight-through 100% of the time, and deep hearty exhaust notes at all times. They’re aggressive when you need it, well-mannered when you want it, and they respond well to dynamic no matter the edition you choose. Electronic valve simulators are included in each kit to plug into the factory wiring to keep the ECU happy and operation at 100%.


    Power to the pavement:

    Dyno-verified gains of +7 hp and +2 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on an otherwise stock vehicle. 

     

    Weights [all clamps, nuts, bolts, tips included]:

    • Touring Edition: 48.5 lbs 
    • Track Edition: 38 lbs 


    100% emission-friendly:

    Touring and Track Editions do not interfere with any factory emissions equipment.


    Made in PA, USA:

    Engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE using US-sourced .065”-wall T304L stainless steel to achieve a tone deeper than everyone else.


    The fine print:

    AWE’s Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No CEL Guarantee, and a Lifetime Warranty all come standard.

    AVAILABILITY

    Please read before ordering. Eurosport Performance does not carry live inventory on this site. Most products are ordered for you directly from the manufacturer or our suppliers, and we follow their lead times. Placing an order confirms you have read and accepted the availability terms below.

    In stock
    Ships within 24 to 48 hours
    Products marked in stock are on our shelves in Montreal and leave within one to two business days.
    Ordered for you
    Most orders ship in 5 to 7 business days
    Everything else is ordered from the manufacturer or supplier when you order. Delays can occur; if they do, we contact you.
    Supplier lead times apply
    If a product is not listed as in stock here and is on backorder at the manufacturer, it will most likely be on backorder for us too. We will tell you as soon as we know.
    We keep you informed
    You receive a confirmation when the order is placed, a notice if a delay comes up, and tracking the moment it ships.
    Frequently asked questions
    Is this product in stock right now?

    Only products explicitly marked in stock are on our shelves. For everything else, the fastest way to know the current lead time is to ask us before you order; we check with the supplier and reply with a date.

    Why does my order say "confirmed" but has not shipped?

    Confirmed means we have placed the order with the manufacturer or supplier on your behalf. Shipping follows once the part reaches us or ships directly to you, usually within 5 to 7 business days for products that are available at the source.

    What happens if the part is on backorder?

    We tell you as soon as the supplier confirms it, with the expected date when they give one. You can keep the order open, switch to an alternative we suggest, or cancel for a full refund before the part ships.

    Can I cancel if it is taking too long?

    Yes. Any order that has not shipped can be cancelled by contacting us, and the refund goes back to your original payment method. Please contact us rather than opening a dispute with your bank: a cancellation takes us minutes, a chargeback takes weeks and freezes the refund in the meantime.

    Do you ship directly from the manufacturer?

    Sometimes. Larger or special-order items can ship to you directly from the supplier to save days in transit. You still receive tracking from us either way.

    Where do my parts ship from, and are there duties?

    Orders ship from Montreal or directly from our suppliers. For Canadian addresses the price you pay is the price, with no import or duty fees added on delivery. See our shipping policy for details.

    How will I know when it ships?

    You get an email with the tracking number the moment the label is created, and you can follow the order in your account on the site or in the SPECD app.

    Want a lead time before you order? Email us or use the contact page with the product name and your vehicle, and we will confirm availability with the supplier.

    WARRANTY

    Products are warrantied by their manufacturer. Eurosport Performance is an authorized reseller: every part we sell is covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, with its own terms and duration. Claims go through us, so you deal with Eurosport Performance rather than a form on the brand's site, but whether a claim is accepted is the manufacturer's decision.

    Manufacturer terms apply
    Duration and coverage are set by the brand and differ from one to the next: some cover one year, some a lifetime, some only the original purchaser. The brand's warranty page is the reference; ask us if you cannot find it.
    We file the claim for you
    Contact us with your order number, photos and a description of the issue. We open the claim with the manufacturer, follow it up, and arrange the repair, replacement or credit they approve. The manufacturer decides whether the claim is accepted.
    Fitment guarantee: North America only
    We guarantee fitment for vehicles sold in the North American market. Vehicles from other markets are out of scope; specifications differ, and it is the customer's responsibility to confirm compatibility before ordering.
    No warranty on tuning files
    ECU and TCU tunes and other software files are sold without warranty and are not returnable once delivered or flashed. Tuning can affect your vehicle's factory warranty; please read the brand's terms before purchasing.
    Proof of purchase
    Your Eurosport Performance order is the proof of purchase every manufacturer asks for. Keep the order confirmation; it is also in your account on the site and in the SPECD app.
    What is usually not covered
    Damage from improper installation, modification, abuse, racing or an incorrect application for the vehicle, and normal wear items such as pads, clutch discs and filters. Shipping and labour are covered only when the manufacturer's terms say so.
    Frequently asked questions
    How long is the warranty on this product?

    It is the manufacturer's warranty for that product. Where the brand publishes it, we note it in the description; otherwise contact us before ordering and we will confirm the exact terms with them.

    A part failed. What do I do?

    Stop using it if it is a safety-related part, then contact us with your order number, clear photos, and when and how the issue appeared. Do not return anything until we confirm the claim; manufacturers often require an inspection or an authorization number first.

    Who decides if my claim is accepted?

    The manufacturer. We prepare and submit the claim, provide the proof of purchase and push for a fair outcome, but acceptance, replacement or credit is their call under their terms. We pass their decision on to you as soon as we have it.

    How long does a claim take?

    It depends on the manufacturer. Simple cases are approved in days; claims that need the part inspected can take a few weeks. We keep you updated at each step and push when it drags.

    Is there a warranty on ECU or TCU tunes?

    No. Tuning files are software; once delivered or flashed they cannot be returned, and they carry no warranty from Eurosport Performance or, in most cases, from the tuner. Support for the tune itself (revisions, flashing questions) comes from the tuning brand under its own terms.

    My car is from outside North America. Is fitment guaranteed?

    No. Our fitment guarantee covers vehicles sold in the North American market only. European, Japanese and other market vehicles can differ in engines, electronics and dimensions, and a part listed for the North American model is not guaranteed to fit. If you order for one of these vehicles, confirming compatibility is your responsibility, and fitment issues on such vehicles are not covered by returns or warranty.

    Is installation covered?

    Labour is not covered unless the manufacturer's terms specifically include it. Having the part installed by a qualified shop protects your claim: improper installation is the most common reason a manufacturer declines.

    Is a warranty issue the same as a return?

    No. Returns cover unused parts you no longer want, under our refund policy. Warranty covers a part that fails in use, under the manufacturer's terms. If you are unsure which applies, contact us and we will point you to the right one; please do not open a bank dispute, as it pauses both processes.

    Questions about coverage before you buy? Email us with the product and your vehicle and we will confirm the manufacturer's terms.
