I worked with an Audi Salesman of 12 years and I told him "All Audis but one dissapear forever, what one remains?" His answer, "Easy, the SQ5 obviously. It does everything"

[@dms-legacy]

So awesome to see the factory. Recently bought a AWE Touring exhaust for my 2014 S4. Gotta say, I look for reasons to drive under overpasses now :) Thanks AWE for the awesome work and thanks Eli for all the time you put into the channel!

[@johnschauder]

Nice, I also have a ‘14 S4. Do u live near the awe factory? I live over near their old shop in willow grove

[@mephoriamanson8920]

Very nice, but I think I would have sprayed it black.

[@benjik007]

You should do a MMI upgrade install

[@Th3UnUn1Qu3]

“Ok cool, I can stay?” “Well, you can get a shirt” 😂😂

[@fredzimmer8626]

Front mount HX looks amazing. Now we need a spirited driving video to hear that AWE exhaust.

[@fastminivan]

Another bad a$$ video man! That was awesome of them to let you come out and tour. Lucky!!

[@johnschauder]

Oh snap, I live in horsham and I thought I saw your SQ5 the other day...but I figured you wouldn’t be down here. I didn’t even consider that you’d be visiting awe

[@TommyLinebarger]

SQ5 is really coming along! Love the progress!

[@MajesticMalice]

This sold me on an exhaust from them for my B9 SQ5. Great facilities!

[@pklifter]

Air and Water Enterprises...had no idea till now.

[@jayboom10]

All mod companies should do this for youtubers that use and promote their products. See if you can get to IE headquarters.

[@IgnitionTube]

Stanley Suber I have an open invite to IE, just need to find the time!!

The amount if sarcasm in this video is impeccable. I almost exploded

Chev Chellios glad you enjoyed!!!

[@thecarwashcompanyusa]

Great on camera chemistry! Seriously! I was so worried and thought it might go cringe and it totally didn’t.

[@IgnitionTube]

Jesse is a character!

[@supersquid166]

Great series! Love what you're doing. Been looking for a successor to my B7 A4 Avant (goes to the kid in a year). No S4 Avant or supercharged All Road option led me to your S4 videos. Watching what you do w/ this SQ4 very closely. No long-hood compromise!!

[@vader80_gaming]

Nice that you were able to get one because mine has been on back order since Thanksgiving. I gave up waiting and I'm going with the AMS Performance heat exchanger.

[@IgnitionTube]

You should call them!

[@awetuning]

Please email me directly, Tim, via [e-mail].

[@vader80_gaming]

@@awetuning thanks for getting me squared away! Installed on Thursday along with my dual pulley setup by. Runs cool and whines for days! Love it.

[@awetuning]

@@vader80_gaming My pleasure, Tim! Stay cool. - Josh

[@seansok4205]

I need to stop by there on my way through to MA. Maybe I can get them to install an exhaust on my B8 😂

[@TeddyWestside412]

looks so good in there! i have an AWE Exhaust on my GTI

[@MrTRuEGANGSTA]

Great video!! I don't usually comment, but you're in my neck of the woods of Horsham PA 💯

[@tomv8240]

Lucky bastard❗ lol I need to go to awe❗❗❗ that just looks awesome man good video 👍🏼

[@IgnitionTube]

Tom V not sure if you can just walk in but they’re cool guys for sure!!

[@thecarwashcompanyusa]

5:03 love that shirt

[@davidwheeler4304]

I have their exhaust on my S4. Looking forward to getting one for my wife’s ‘19 SQ5 in a couple of years. Hopefully by then they have exhaust tips as well. Not a fan of the fake tips

[@n-i-c-k]

Looking forward to getting their downpipes & exhaust!

[@IgnitionTube]

Nick Valentino heck ya!!

[@Hadam852]

Is there any utility in getting downpipes only on the stock exhaust for the SQ5? I quite like how it sounds + the option of closing the valves is nice. Will JUST adding AWE downpipes increase the stock sound? Will it affect HP/torque (with no current other upgrades)? Thanks!

[@IgnitionTube]

@@Hadam852 it should increase the sound. It likely won't add HP.

[@joedapro555]

Very cool

[@FattWombat]

Literally

[@All2jPro]

does AWE do a stealth version of the front cover in black or maybe you get to paint it yourself so it doesn’t show through the grill at the front.

[@Blaylock1988]

Thats AWEsome (ha get it?) you got to hang out there! The coolant splashing on the camera lens made me cringe a little since that stuff can get surprisingly nasty.

[@IgnitionTube]

Josh cleaned it afterwards 😂

[@Patsy-rd7kj]

U never explained what the point of the UPGRADE was for ???- Pro's & Con's ---- COST ?

[@toddn.3123]

To limit heat soak. Aka keep the engine from pulling timing which reduces power. When you change pullies and tunes to make more power... It makes more heat. This fights against it.

[@Patsy-rd7kj]

@@toddn.3123 ... hmm ok , not got that problem, My SQ5 Plus+ is the Twin Turbo- TDI version, could go larger intercooler, if you want even more power from the Standard 700nm / 516Lbft Torque.

[@toddn.3123]

@@Patsy-rd7kj well you are running turbos the 3.0 is supercharged... Different setup

[@xlthumper]

@@Patsy-rd7kj being diesel you run alot cooler to start, then your turbos are spinning less revolutions. You could do an intercooler but you would have to be alot more modified with huge turbo's before you get a benefit.

[@Patsy-rd7kj]

@@toddn.3123 yep i know European market diff to USA/ Canada market..... on certain models, same Model different engine configurations.....

[@vezsimon]

very nice of them!! those guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@pklifter]

Hey if they have the data (from their dyno etc) why don't they post it on their ads (or vids like this at the very least). It would definitely help us (me) compare it against the other options out there. SUBBED

[@TheMoirLabel]

Thank you for the blueprint!

[@banditsgwap]

shhhiit ill take a shirt too!

[@erichackett8098]

I like AWE and the products they put out but I have to say that I’m surprised they can stay competitive in this market given the turn around time on their orders. I know they don’t mass produce their stuff and that adds to the time but I’d bet they’d control a larger portion of the market if they could shorten that time.

[@jdkingmanji4724]

Time for dual pulley?

[@fastslash25]

there's probably enough room to have stacked heat exchangers in the sq5. I didn't remove the old one and stacked them in my audi a6 c7 with a merc racing heat exchanger.

[@IgnitionTube]

Interesting idea. Not sure if there would be more benefit though... one would block the airflow from the other lol

[@przemekb7754]

it isnt a"trans cooler", this should be an additional heat exchanger, like in s4 b8

[@IgnitionTube]

You’re right! My S4 didn’t have that though

[@MannyFresh1x]

How did you find a RS4 Grille with no license plate mounting holes?

[@architecturehappy]

Are you having as much fun as you did with the S4?

[@RJ-lk5pj]

@1:12 Almost got escorted from the premises.. Failure to do adequate research prior to interview.. awkwardness.🤯 Great video..✊🏻👍🏻 awesome knowledge shared; doing some hands on wrenching on the vehicle- inside a garage where no technical mechanic were on the clock doing R/O’s. That’s what heaven is like.. free run of lifts and no mechanics to haggle with. Q5 is looking sick.. roof top carrier..that must had to come off when it was on the lift ? Was wondering how they fastened to the roof racks.. the q5 is a vehicle in my opinion looks like a beefed up A4.. so adding these pieces only enhances the package- Question- I’ve driven sedans and SUV’s from Audi and I seen your past vehicle- in your opinion what’s your preference sedan or SUV; now you’ve had seat time in each of them. Did you make a video in regards to the roof tack carrier.. Only draw back is the limited space in the back of the vehicle when on excursions but the seats slide forward to allows for some extra spaces when called on.. keep up the good work with these q5 videos..always looking for new ideas and great content on AWE- will def. take a look see in there site... seemed like great people to do business with.. close to home(NY) Always looking for new ideas!

[@biggolf125]

Jz got my awe heat exchanger so excited it's hard to DIY?

[@quickhandcam8596]

Don't mind me... just liking before watching :D

Tell them to make a track exhaust for the KIA stinger GT 3.3T

Nice vid but, where’s the scenic drone footage for the outro?

Kenneth Williams I’ll figure something out soon lol

[@FRob911]

What model is your roof box please?

[@One_Man_Bandd]

don’t kno if you did a vid on this but the quattro on the front grille, does it come with the grille or is that something you put on separate

[@IgnitionTube]

There is a search feature on my channel as well as KZbin for a reason :)
