Audi A5 B10: giving the 2.0 TFSI a voice, the exhaust system guide

With the A5 B10, Audi opens a new generation of its model and, in this version, entrusts it to a 2.0 TFSI tuned for smoothness. On a 2025 car, silence is part of the specification: the factory exhaust erases almost everything the turbocharged four-cylinder has to say. This guide walks you through configuring your ROG exhaust, from the material to valve control, to find the right balance for everyday driving.

The A5 B10's 2.0 TFSI: a modern turbo tuned for discretion

Under the bonnet of the A5 B10, the 2.0 TFSI is a 2.0-litre direct-injection inline four-cylinder, boosted by a turbocharger. In this version, it produces 150 hp and 280 Nm. These are not the specifications of a sports car, but the torque arrives early and carries the car effortlessly: an engine designed for flexibility and long journeys, perfectly at home in a tourer of this size.

On a turbo engine, part of the sound is already absorbed by the turbine before it even reaches the exhaust. The A5's factory exhaust finishes the job, with silencers calibrated to make the engine disappear. The ROG exhaust touches neither the engine nor the ECU: it simply gives you back the choice. With the valves closed, the A5 remains the hushed car you know. Open, the 2.0 TFSI reveals a deeper, franker grain under acceleration.

How the exhaust on your Audi A5 B10 is put together

Here is what the ROG exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.

How the exhaust system is laid out From left to right: the engine, then the ROG cat-back with its valved silencer and tips.ROG cat-back: the complete exhaustB10

The cat-back is the complete exhaust system

It is everything you can see under your Audi A5 B10, all the way to the tips: pipes, silencer, valves. Routing, silencer, valves: this is where the sound is shaped. The engine and the ECU stay as they left the factory.

Your Audi A5 B10 in figures

What an exhaust changes straight away is the sound, the engine's breathing and the weight at the rear. For more power, add an ECU remap.

With or without an ECU remap, the exhaust fits and works. But it is an ECU remap at an approved tuning centre that truly unleashes your Audi A5 B10, and that is what we recommend.

Configuring your exhaust, step by step

3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.

  1. Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium

    For your Audi A5 B10, the exhaust costs €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium.

    304 stainless steel

    2 490 €

    Weight
    Baseline
    Sound
    Full and rounded

    Durable, corrosion-resistant, with a rounded, full sound: the most popular option.

    Titanium

    2 990 €

    Weight
    Around 40% lighter
    Sound
    Metallic, crystal-clear

    For the same design, it weighs around 40% less than stainless steel. A more metallic note at high revs and a look all of its own, from brushed to blued.

    Both materials age well: 304 stainless steel copes with winter and salt, and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.

  2. Step 2 of 3: Valves: ROG remote or factory control

    Two ways to control the valves on your Audi A5 B10.

    ROG remote

    ROG remote for opening and closing the valves

    The simplest solution: a control unit in the boot and a remote, open or closed at the press of a button, whatever mode you are in. A question while fitting? We will get back to you.

    Factory control

    • Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
    • Controlled by the drive modes

    Does your vehicle have factory valves? The exhaust keeps their existing control: the drive modes operate the valves, as before, with no added electronics.

    On a long journey, what matters is the absence of drone at a steady speed. With the valves closed, the exhaust keeps the cabin calm; the show is still there whenever you ask for it. More about exhaust drone.

  3. Step 3 of 3: Tips: the visual signature

    Match the tips to the style of your Audi A5 B10, understated or bold. A particular finish in mind? Send us a photo and we will look at it together.

The ROG sound signature on the A5 B10's 2.0 TFSI

A turbocharged four-cylinder does not have the voice of a six-cylinder, but it does have one: a deep, even sound at idle that hardens as it climbs through the revs, with the whoosh of the turbo in the background. The A5 B10's factory exhaust lets only a distant hum through, true to its comfort mission.

With the ROG exhaust, you are the one who decides. With the valves closed, the cabin stays calm and daily journeys are free of fatigue. With the valves open, the 2.0 TFSI gains roundness and presence: you hear it when you accelerate and on downshifts too, without ever tipping into excess on a car that remains above all a tourer.
