Description
The AWE SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust for 2021-2023 Audi RS6 / RS7 (C8) 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.
The SwitchPath Exhaust comprises 3-inch US-sourced T304L stainless steel featuring a bespoke, straight-through center resonator featuring AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology, tuned specifically for the 4.0TT.
At cruising speeds, interior acoustics are close to stock with drone control thanks to the 180 Technology resonator.

Compatibility and installation
- Maintaining and utilizing the factory valve behavior, SwitchPath tech obeys orders given via the MMI and Drive Select to determine its mood just as the stock exhaust would.
- SwitchPath tech also responds perfectly to Drive Select, so if you drop the hammer while cruising, expect it to behave just like factory.
