AWE Tuning Mk7 Golf R SwitchPath Exhaust with Chrome Silver Tips – 102mm Performance Exhaust System

Description

Designed specifically for the 2015-2017 Volkswagen Golf R, the AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust offers a perfect blend of performance, style, and versatility. Crafted from handcrafted 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel, this exhaust system features a straight-through, clean design that maximizes flow and enhances the vehicle’s sound profile.

Equipped with a valved passenger-side tip outlet, the SwitchPath™ system maintains the factory valve behavior, responding dynamically to ECU commands based on throttle input, engine speed, and Drive Select mode. This allows drivers to switch effortlessly between a quiet, subtle tone and an aggressive, crackling exhaust note with a simple toggle. Whether sneaking out in the morning or unleashing full performance in Dynamic mode, the system adapts seamlessly to your driving style.

The system includes 102mm double-walled, slash-cut tips available in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black, stamped with the AWE logo for a premium appearance. The design emphasizes a less-is-more philosophy, with a direct bolt-on installation that delivers maximum gains—up to 12 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque at the wheels—while maintaining factory-like fitment and durability. The exhaust features the AWE No CEL Guarantee for hassle-free operation and comes with a lifetime warranty, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

For enhanced control, the optional AWE SwitchPath™ Remote (sold separately) enables manual override of the factory valve system, allowing you to open or close the valves at will for different sound and performance experiences. This flexibility makes the system suitable for daily driving or spirited sessions on the track. Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at AWE, this exhaust system is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking an aggressive tone, precise fitment, and unmatched craftsmanship in a performance exhaust system.
