The AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the 8V Audi RS3 pairs a 5-cylinder-specific tuned, single-pass driver's side muffler with a valved passenger side outlet. SwitchPath™ keeps the factory valve behavior, obeying the ECU's commands based on throttle input, engine speed, Audi drive select and the factory exhaust button in the cabin. Sneaking out in the morning or creeping through town? Close the valve. Click into Dynamic mode and the RS3 sings a signature AWE tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE handcrafts the system from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel with smooth bends, tight packaging and a clean, straight-through design. AWE measured max gains of 30 hp and 25 lb-ft of torque at the wheels at 6,400 rpm, and the SwitchPath™ system is 28.5 lbs lighter than stock. Diamond Black RS-style tips come standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a direct bolt-on for factory-like simplicity, designed, engineered and manufactured in-house at AWE.
