    LET’S UNLOCK SOME 5 CYLINDER FURY.

    Choose your sound—on demand with SwitchPath™, or full-send with the Track Edition. Either way, you’re unlocking signature AWE tone for your RS 3. If you know, you know.

    THE VALVED SWITCHPATH™:

    The AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust is a single-pass, 5-cylinder-specific system made from 3” and 2.5” T304L stainless steel. It features a valved passenger-side outlet and a tuned driver’s side muffler. The valve operates via factory controls—Drive Select, throttle input, and the OEM exhaust button—keeping quiet when needed and roaring when desired.

    Includes 180mm RS-style Diamond Black oval tips with the AWE logo.

    Have SwitchPath™ but want to go louder? We’ve got a Conversion Kit for that.
     

    THE TRACK EDITION:

    The Track Edition removes the muffler and valve found in the SwitchPath™, delivering a permanent open-valve, aggressive tone. Built with the same precision and performance, just without the restraint.

    Note: Track Edition is not returnable based on sound preference. It’s loud.

    Also includes 180mm RS-style Diamond Black oval tips with AWE logo.

    Too loud? Convert it to SwitchPath™ anytime with an AWE Conversion Kit.
     

    TRACK-TO-SWITCHPATH™ CONVERSION KIT:

    Add a tuned muffler and valved section to convert your Track Edition into a refined SwitchPath™ system—retaining factory valve behavior and cabin control.
     

    SWITCHPATH™-TO-TRACK CONVERSION KIT:

    Remove the muffler and valve sections to take your SwitchPath™ to full-time aggression. This kit replaces the rear sections with straight-through Track Edition parts.
     

    100% EMISSION-FRIENDLY:

    AWE Exhausts do not interfere with any factory emissions equipment.

    MADE IN PA, USA:

    Engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE using US-sourced .065”-wall T304L stainless steel to achieve a tone deeper than everyone else.

    THE FINE PRINT:

    AWE’s Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No CEL Guarantee, and Lifetime Warranty all come standard. Track Editions can not be returned for sound reasons (but you can do a conversion kit to Touring Edition at any time!).
