Amazing build @QwaktastiK, congratulations!!!

funny, i was cruising the forum looking for products to make my 2024 SQ5 have more of a stance and aggressive look and came across your thread.

as i have Daytona gray with black optics package, ill be ordering the Maxton Design front/side/rear asap :)

i need to do something about the poor exhaust sound as well as plastic exhaust tips [email protected] went with Audi Diamond Black Sport Exhaust, how is the sound? any difference? @Mops, does AWE have any kind of exhaust for SQ5 at the moment? The AWE track exhaust you hooked me up was amazing!!!

Ill also need to reach out to @AskCarbon to get started on replacing my current wheel, with Flat bottom.

question about the CETE Lowering Module..seems that they are shipped from EU and im in Italy so that part is nice....as far as Install goes, plug and play...easy install and configuration?

@mops as usual, id love to make a big order for all the above from you if you can source it all :) along with some wheels, as the summer is around the corner.

Thank you! We’re very happy with how it’s all turned out.
The Maxton Design Kit really transforms the look of the car and makes it look so much more aggressive without being overbearing.

The Audi Sport Exhaust tips doesn’t really change the exhaust note. And if I’m being honest, dare I say it made it a few decibels quieter since you’re adding length to the exhaust instead of the exhaust stopping short of the rear bumper like it does with the OEM setup. But it’s not a significant change.

Mops will likely give you the rundown on what he’d recommend for exhaust. Yes, AWE does make an exhaust system for the B9/B9.5 SQ5. You can pair the AWE catback system with the Audi sport exhaust (the AWE system doesn’t come with real exhaust tips). If you’re planning on going Stage 2, I would recommend doing a high flow cat (we run the CTS HFC) as that gives you a much more audible exhaust note and even wakes up the turbo noises a bit. Pairing that with an intake gives you a symphony of beautiful notes. So I’d wait until AFTER you do the high flow cat (if you’re planning going Stage 2) to determine if you feel like it still needs an aftermarket catback system.
