AWE SwitchPath Exhaust for 2022-2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is one of the last great supercharged V8 sports sedans, and its 6.2-liter LT4 deserves a soundtrack to match. The AWE SwitchPath Exhaust is a dual 3-inch valved cat-back that keeps every factory drive mode while giving the Blackwing a more exotic, rasp-free voice.

AWE uses the factory valve motors, so all factory drive-mode valve functions are retained: quiet and composed when the valves are closed, fully uncorked when they open. A bespoke X-pipe refines the tone, and bullet-style resonators keep the soundtrack smooth with the valves open. SwitchPath keeps the same ground clearance profile as stock, so there is no sagging under the car. AWE quotes maximum gains of 11 hp and 3 lb-ft at the wheels.

This is AWE's current Tip Redux version of the system. It is handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel in a clean, straight-through layout, and finishes with AWE's signature adjustable 4.5-inch double-walled, slash-cut quad tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black. It is a pure bolt-on with no cutting, backed by AWE's Perfect Fitment and No Check Engine Light guarantees and a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the factory drive modes still control the valves?
Yes. AWE uses the factory valve motors, so all factory drive-mode valve functions are retained.

Does it fit the CT4-V Blackwing?
No. This system is for the CT5-V Blackwing with the supercharged 6.2L LT4 only.

What is the Tip Redux version?
It is AWE’s current revision of the CT5-V Blackwing SwitchPath system and the part number AWE now supplies.

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.
