The AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the G87 BMW M2 lets the compact M car switch between a refined road voice and the full bark of its S58 twin-turbo six, using the car's own drive modes. It is a dual 3-inch, 50-state emissions-compliant cat-back built around a bespoke X-pipe and a valved SwitchPath™ muffler with AWE's drone-cancelling 180 Technology®.
The X-pipe smooths the S58's tone, and the valved muffler keeps the cabin calm when the valves are closed. Open them in the sportier drive modes and the M2 gets the loud, clean exhaust note it deserves. SwitchPath™ retains all factory valve controls, so there is no additional remote or controller to fit.
AWE measured gains of up to 3 hp and 4 lb-ft of torque at the wheels from the clean, straight-through design. The system uses ball-socket mounting points for easier installation and finishes in quad 4.5-inch double-walled slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black. It is manufactured in-house by AWE in the USA and backed by AWE's No CEL Guarantee, Perfect Fitment Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty.

Does it keep my factory exhaust valves and drive modes?
Yes. SwitchPath™ retains all factory valve controls, so no remote or extra controller is needed.
Why is Diamond Black priced higher?
AWE prices the SwitchPath™ with Diamond Black tips slightly above the Chrome Silver version; both use the same system.
Is it street legal?
AWE lists this system as 50 State Legal because it does not tamper with any emissions control or monitoring devices; it bolts on behind the catalytic converters. AWE does not publish a CARB Executive Order number for it, and local sound limits vary, so check the rules where you drive.
Do I need a tune?
No. It is a cat-back system and AWE guarantees no check engine light.
