Description
The AWE SwitchPath Exhaust for Volkswagen Golf R (MK7.5) pairs an application-specific exhaust layout with the configuration shown below. This listing is supplied in the 102mm Chrome Silver 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 is comprised of handcrafted 3-inch and 2.5-inch US-sourced T304L stainless steel with a valved passenger-side tip outlet.
Technical details
- Listed configuration: 102mm Chrome Silver Tips.
- T304L stainless steel construction.
- Double-walled, slash-cut tips; the supplied finish is specified in this listing.
Compatibility and installation
- The AWE SwitchPath Remote and accompanying control box (both sold separately) overrides the factory valving to allow the exhaust valves, whether it be on the AWE SwitchPath Exhaust or the stock exhaust, to be opened or closed manually via the SwitchPath Remote.
- SwitchPath retains the factory valve behavior and obeys the Golf R’s ECU commands based on throttle input, engine speed, and Drive Select.
- Please note, the AWE SwitchPath Remote overrides the stock valve control, meaning the exhaust must be opened and closed with the remote as desired.
- An exhaust for the hottest of VW’s hatchbacks - with options to suit every taste, and unmatched quality, fitment, performance and tone.
