The sound of power:

The Exhaust Suite for the G90 M5 and G99 M5 Touring brings two distinct personalities to one platform: a bespoke H-pipe, straight-through flow, and a tone that finally does justice to the S68’s potential. Engineered from dual 3” and 2.5” U.S-sourced T304L stainless steel and machined to precise tolerances, both editions begin where the factory system runs out of ideas.

The bespoke H-pipe is the centerpiece, purpose-built to smooth out the S68’s raw character into something deep, rich, and entirely rasp-free. From there, the straight-through design keeps flow unrestricted and weight to a minimum. Choose your weapon.







The Touring Edition:

For the driver who puts miles on their M5. The Touring Edition is primarily formed from 3” (with two short 2.5” sections in the rear) T304L stainless steel, built around AWE’s patented drone-canceling 180 Technology® that eliminates the frequencies responsible for highway fatigue across the entire RPM range. The result is an exhaust that sounds exceptional on a Sunday blast and doesn’t punish you on a Monday commute.









At 19 lbs lighter than stock, the Touring Edition sharpens the M5’s responses without sacrificing a single decibel of road manners. Dyno-verified gains of +11 hp and +12 lb-ft of torque at the wheels mean every drop of the hammer is backed up by real performance. This is the exhaust that checks all the boxes for the G9X.








The Track Edition:

No filters. No compromises. Full 3”. The Track Edition is the full, uncut expression of what the S68 wants to say. Stripped of the drone-canceling internals and coming in at an even more aggressive −29.5 lbs versus stock, the Track Edition is for those who like it rowdy at all times.









Note: This version is known to get rowdy (in and out of the cabin) and may be too much for many. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself.







Why an H instead of an X?

The Touring and Track Edition Exhausts, as all our exhaust systems, were engineered primarily for the driver, not the bystander. The G9X isn’t a thin-skinned, high-strung exotic. It’s a big, torque-heavy, ground-pounding German muscle car with thick cabin insulation and a battery pack along the floor.

X-pipes, with the higher frequency exhaust tones that they produce, simply don’t cut through all the materials in the way. The interior sound levels with X-pipe variants were rather unsatisfying, indistinguishable from stock in our testing. AWE builds for actual outcome, not expectation, and we will iterate until we get it right.

The H-pipe, produced a deep, rich, more satisfying soundtrack that most importantly: can be heard behind the wheel.

The takeaway is simple: while the X-pipe variants had some appeal from outside the car, they never created enough separation from the factory experience once you were in the driver’s seat. The H-pipe configuration delivers both: a more rewarding soundtrack when behind the wheel, and the proper presence outside the car.

Let’s talk 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 achieve perfect fitment within the valance via ball-and-socket joints, and the tips themselves are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.

Power to the pavement:

Dyno-verified max gains of +11 hp and +12 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.



Made in PA, USA:

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

100% emissions friendly:

The AWE Touring & Track Edition Exhausts do not interfere with any factory emissions equipment.

The fine print:

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

The playing field is getting very interesting on the exhaust now

Definitely. It’s hard to get behind over $10k for akrapovic

Not quite yet! Stay tuned though, as I will update this thread with all of the details when we are ready to release.

Nice! Wish you guys did a X pipe over an H or better yet also offer a axle back version for those that already have a midpipe!

The H-pipe was crucial on this platform to achieve the deep smooth tones we are known for. While popular, X-pipes are prone to rasp which we aim to avoid.

Additionally, higher tone frequencies produced by an X have a very hard time penetrating the cabin of this car due to lots of sound insulation and the battery pack on the floor. We went through a few prototypes with an X and just weren't satisfied with the sound profile inside the cabin.

The lower tones produced by an H-pipe have more "punch" and can push through, allowing a much more pleasing experience for the driver.

Finally, we verified very acceptable power gains with the H. We have our own chassis dyno in-house and our engineers develop for power, as well as for a great soundtrack.

Wow... i'll admit that sounds better than most exhaust out there!

I'm intrigued. Would you think if i ordered a track edition exhaust today it would arrive to NJ by Thursday afternoon before my Friday exhaust install appointment? lol

[NYG]

Christian, I'm not far from Horsham - is there anyway to hear these in person?

You can schedule a tour, but the M5 has left the building. We work with many different partners to source cars for development in order to complete more projects. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have here or in PM.

All of our systems are hand made to order right here in Horsham, PA. There is a lead time of approximately 3 weeks currently so we can build your systems, run QC, and get them packed and ready to ship.

However, if you want to check with dealers some carry stock so you can skip the wait, just make sure you confirm it is in stock before you place your order otherwise you'll still be waiting for us to build it. If you don't have a preferred dealer you can check out a full list here.

We encourage you and the other owners of those platforms to fill out our New Product Request Form.

This is how we decide which products we need to develop next. The more we see a vehicle, the greater the likelihood it gets into R&D.
