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.
The SwitchPath Exhaust is comprised of handcrafted 3-inch and 2.5-inch US-sourced T304L stainless steel single pass, 5-cylinder-specific tuned driver’s side muffler with a valved passenger-side tip outlet.
AWE SwitchPath for the 8V comes standard with Diamond Black 180mm RS-style oval tips, complete with stamped AWE logo.
