It is AWE's first SwitchPath™ system for BMW to use drone-cancelling 180 Technology®, built as a dual 3-inch cat-back with a bespoke X-pipe and a valved SwitchPath™ muffler tuned specifically for the S58.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-pipe starts right behind the factory mid-section and takes the rasp out of the S58, deepening the tone before the rear muffler refines it further. With the valves closed, the M3 or M4 has a refined, aggressive howl that stays full-bodied under throttle, while cabin sound at cruising speed stays close to stock with no drone. Switch to Sport or Sport+ and the valves open: the exhaust note turns powerful and clean, and Sport+ adds burbles on the overrun. Because SwitchPath™ uses the factory valve actuators and drive-mode logic, there is no extra remote or controller to wire in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE measured up to 3 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque at the wheels from the clean, straight-through layout. The system mounts on ball sockets for easier alignment, uses inlet adapters to join the factory mid-section, and fits both the stock and M Performance rear valances. It finishes in quad 4.5-inch double-walled slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black, and is manufactured in-house by AWE in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValved SwitchPath™ muffler with drone-cancelling 180 Technology®, AWE's first for BMW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains the factory valve controls and drive modes;
