A5 Coupe Hybrid

[ironman9]

Hi guys! I currently have a Audi A5 coupe non S-line (very important). So I want to mod my car. First thing will be adding a new exhaust from AWE Tuning. I am planning to get the dual exhaust (one tip on each side) and I have to get the conversion kit for Non S line bumper ( http://www.awe-tuning.com/a-w-e-tuning-a5-2-0t-exhausts )

And next I am planning to get a new S-line or Black edition plus front bumper. Probably not going to change the rear bumper to S-line as I do not have enough cash to do so.

So the after result will be a S-line front bumper look with non S-line rear bumper with dual exhaust.

My question is, will the car look good with this set up? or Does a S-line front and non s line rear look funny/odd? Really appreciate your feeedback and opinions on this and if any of you have done this before, feel free to share pictures too! Thank you so much everyone!

I had that combination and imo looks fine. now im running an RS front with a non s-line rear.

VERY few people will be able to tell the difference between s line and non s line bumpers and you're never looking at both the front rear at the same time. I think it will be fine

first statement imo is false. people can def tell because of the valance. makes a hugee difference for the bumper

the latter is truth unless ur cockeyed xD

I'm talking about the general population not audi enthusiasts. Might be single digits the number of people who see the car driving by and will actually be able to tell.

Keep in mind, there's a whole lot of people out there that don't even know how to change a tire or check their oil. When he says very few people will be able to tell, I'd imagine he's referring to the entire population and not the Audi enthusiast population.

damn! nice looking car you have there! what diffuser/valance are you using for your dual exhaust? are you able to post a clearer closer picture of the back of the car so I can see the whole rear bumper with the exhaust. And more photos of your car cause it looks awesome! :D

[ironman9]

yeah I reckon people (not audi enthusiasts) will be able to tell the difference. and yes diffuser/valance does make a big difference too! thats why Im not quite sure if I should just go all out for the s line rear bumper as it has different valance.

thanks so much! did you get it straight from Audi germany? if so, how did you get it? Didn't know there is a dual outlet diffuser for non s line. So if i get this diffuser, can the AWE tuning dual exhaust fit it?

this diffuser fits any dual exhaust with a non s line bumper. your other option is a 3.2 diffuser or one from a convertible.

the diffuser I have is rare. I got it from ecstuning, and I believe the last one. its called zubehör diffuser for the a5

I need to do some diffuser shopping in the near future, but I'm pretty hell bent on carbon fiber at this point. I just wish the Enlaes diffuser wasn't so "busy." The Deval just seems TOO subtle, and the Englaes is too aggressive for my taste.

you can do an RS style, or reiger

[HazeMyth]

If that one in the top picture you posted was available in full carbon fiber with no paint, I might actually consider that style. I just don't like the way it looks with the paint on it.

Edit: So of a B, it looks like they do have a full CF version of it. Hmmmmm

they do, it does not come painted so u can do w/e u want. reiger comes with unpainted, or carbon look. someone on the forum has it and IMO it looks great. lots of people shit on it though.

OH, forgot to mention, OP, u can also get the reiger diffuser for your car above ^^^

[HazeMyth]

Well they have a "carbon look" one. It's not real CF, but honestly, it's on the bottom of the car where it will take a beating anyway. I don't see why people shit on it. It's a nice in-between look for someone like myself that's comparing Deval and Enlaes.

The pricing isn't so bad either. http://www.esetuning.com/audi-s5-b8-...ook-99197.html

ya that's why I said carbon look. not real CF. u know what that means? it wont fade! lol

I bought from ese tuning before. great people and great service. that's where I got my RS front

Well, not only will it not fade, but it also won't get beat to shit no our harsh winter roads. Between rocks getting kicked up and the city using MagChlo, the bottoms of cars get beat up really bad here. Something that's easy to maintain isn't exactly a turnoff to me. I'll be honest though, that bottom picture does make me question the fitment. The pictures on the ECS site don't look like that.

[mjr034]

I'm a big fan of this piece. I also thought the deval was a little too subtle. (...And overpriced)

But bk is right, people do shit on it.

maybe owner can chime in. iv seen the reiger on the pre fl s5, and I think the fitment was pretty good

Fitment was actually spot on. It's meant to come a tad lower like that on the sides.

Which AWE do you have, touring or track? And what size tips? Just to get a feel for space with that diffuser on

[mjr034]

Those are 102s and all these pictures were with Track. I've since changed to touring + non-res dps, but you get the idea.

[HazeMyth]

Those other pictures actually showcase the Rieger better. I'd assume fitment with Pre FL and FL are pretty similar.

Car looks fantastic! Mind if I shoot you a pm with some questions?
