Description
The AWE SwitchPath Axle-Back Exhaust for 2018-2019 BMW M5 (F90) 4.4T AWD pairs an application-specific exhaust layout with the configuration shown below. This listing is supplied in the Diamond Black Tips configuration.
Engineering and driving character
SwitchPath is designed for drivers who want a more expressive exhaust note with valve-controlled changes in sound. The quieter and louder operating characters depend on the valve configuration and the vehicle’s control strategy.
Technical details
- Listed configuration: Diamond Black Tips.
- Double-walled, slash-cut tips; the supplied finish is specified in this listing.
- Individually adjustable tips allow their position within the bumper to be set during installation.
Compatibility and installation
- In Axleback form, the SwitchPath retains the M5’s factory mid-section, coming in right at the rear axle.
- Available separately are the AWE Performance Mid Pipes to replace the factory mid section with a 3” stainless steel X-pipe, mating to the factory Axleback (or AWE Axle Back, to make a full cat back).
- The Performance Mid Pipes + Axleback installed together will not require cutting.
- The AWE SwitchPath Axleback Exhaust maintains a 3” diameter, shaves weight from the rear, and retains the factory valve behavior.
- Important fitment notes: If you're equipping the Performance Mid Pipes or an Axle Back, cutting will be required.
