The system is valved and works with the factory ECU, so the valve still responds to throttle input, engine speed and your Drive Select mode. Cruise quietly in Comfort, then open it up in Race for a sharper, more aggressive AWE tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE designs, engineers and manufactures the system in-house, handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel. The clean, straight-through layout is a direct bolt-on for factory-like simplicity, and this version finishes with four 102mm double-walled, slash-cut tips in diamond black. AWE quotes maximum gains of 12 hp and 9 lb-ft at the wheels for its full turbo-back setup on stock software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant push-button control? The AWE SwitchPath Remote (sold separately) lets you open or close the valve whenever you choose. And if you ever want the full Track Edition sound, AWE offers a SwitchPath-to-Track Conversion Kit for this system. AWE backs it with its Perfect Fitment guarantee, its No Check Engine Light guarantee and a lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValved cat-back follows factory ECU and Drive Select modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch and 2.5-inch T304L stainless, .065-inch wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 102mm double-walled slash-cut diamond black tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on, no tune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with the AWE SwitchPath Remote (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvertible to Track Edition with the AWE conversion kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE No CEL guarantee;
