{"product_id":"awe-performance-exhaust-volkswagen-gti-mk6","title":"AWE Performance Cat-Back Exhaust for 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI Mk6","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AWE Performance Exhaust is the cat-back AWE built for the 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI, and it remains one of the most proven ways to give a Mk6 a proper voice. AWE describes its exhausts as having a Jekyll and Hyde personality: settled and grown-up when you are cruising, then sharp and eager the moment you put your foot down. On the Mk6 GTI that translates to a deeper idle, a crisp rasp through the mid range and no harsh boom once you settle into highway speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE sized the system at 2.5 inches on purpose. Its first 2.0T prototypes were 3-inch, but AWE found the bigger pipe cost low-rpm torque without giving much back at the top end, so the production exhaust keeps the gas speed that a small turbo four needs. The piping starts at the factory downpipe and runs back through a center muffler and the rear mufflers to twin 102mm tips, one at each corner of the bumper just like the factory layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bend is mandrel formed from .065-inch wall T304 stainless steel, with stainless internals inside the mufflers and resonator, stainless MIG and TIG welds and stainless band clamps. Multiple slip joints let you line the system up perfectly. The double-walled tips carry an etched AWE logo and are available in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat-back exhaust designed specifically for the 2010-2014 Mk6 GTI 2.0T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5-inch mandrel-bent tubing sized to protect low-rpm torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.065-inch wall T304 stainless steel with stainless muffler and resonator internals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless MIG and TIG welds and stainless band clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple slip joints for easy alignment during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin 102mm double-walled tips with etched AWE logo in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolts to the factory downpipe or to an AWE downpipe;
