LET’S TAKE THIS SLEEPER UP A NOTCH.

Whether you want the ability to swap sound on the fly with SwitchPath™ or keep it loud at all times with the Track Edition, AWE has the setup for your Audi S3. Either way, you’re getting that unmistakable AWE tone. If you know, you know.

THE VALVED SWITCHPATH™:

The AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust is handcrafted from 3” and 2.5” U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel and features a valved passenger-side outlet that responds to throttle, engine speed, and Drive Select inputs. Quiet when you want it, aggressive when you don’t.

Want full manual control? Add the AWE SwitchPath™ Remote for push-button operation anytime.

THE TRACK EDITION:

The Track Edition delivers an aggressive, unfiltered tone by removing the passenger-side valve and driver’s-side muffler. It’s always in “valve open” mode.

Warning: It’s loud and not returnable due to sound preference.

Want to tone it down later? No problem—AWE offers Conversion Kits to upgrade to SwitchPath™.

LET'S TALK TIPS:

Both Touring and Track Editions include adjustable102mm slash-cut tips with the engraved AWE logo. Each tip is double-walled to maintain a mirror finish, even under intense driving conditions.

VALVE SIMULATORS (For Track Edition buyers):

Since the Track Edition eliminates factory valves, the ECU may store a harmless ‘soft code’. AWE Valve Simulators prevent this by plugging into the factory harness to suppress code storage. No check engine lights, no drama. Sold as a set of two.

CONVERSION KIT:

Switch between systems without buying a full exhaust:

• SwitchPath-to-Track: Removes the valve and muffler for constant open-mode sound.
• Track-to-SwitchPath: Adds a muffler and valved section for more civilized driving.

THE SWITCHPATH™ REMOTE:

Want full manual control over your valves? The AWE SwitchPath™ Remote lets you override the ECU and control exhaust valves on command—whether you’re running the factory system or AWE’s SwitchPath™.

Includes two remotes, control box, harness, mounting hardware, and compact design for easy access. How it works: Press “On” to open the valves. Press “Off” to close. The remote bypasses factory controls until you choose to revert.

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!).
