AWE describes it as the intersection of performance and sophistication: a civil tone at idle and while cruising, then a \"war-cry wail\" when you put your foot down. It was dyno-developed and street-proven on AWE's own in-house Mk7 GTI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE has built exhausts for four generations of GTI, and the Mk7 system is the result of hundreds of hours of prototyping, engineering, dyno testing and daily-use evaluation. The design is just three main parts, which AWE calls one of its easiest systems to install: no spacers and no exhaust paste. It is crafted from 3\" and 2.25\" U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel and finishes with dual 102mm tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black. Paired with an aftermarket downpipe, AWE quotes up to 21 hp and 24 lb-ft at the crank without software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom civil to disobedient, AWE ranks the GTI combinations like this:\u003c\/strong\u003e Touring Edition with the factory downpipe, Touring Edition with an aftermarket downpipe, Track Edition with the factory downpipe, then Track Edition with an aftermarket downpipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 21 hp and 24 lb-ft at the crank without software, when paired with an aftermarket downpipe (AWE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonated front pipe and mid-muffler for a civil cabin at cruise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted from 3\" and 2.25\" U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-piece design: no spacers and no exhaust paste needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 102mm tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDyno-developed and street-proven on AWE's in-house Mk7 GTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered, designed and manufactured in-house by AWE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No Check Engine Light Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Touring Edition cat-back exhaust (three main sections)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 102mm tips in the chosen finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamps and hardware for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#03589c;color:#fff;padding:8px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#03589c;color:#fff;padding:8px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background:#e8f4f8;padding:8px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background:#e8f4f8;padding:8px;\"\u003eAWE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background:#e8f4f8;padding:8px;\"\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background:#e8f4f8;padding:8px;\"\u003eChrome Silver 3015-32046;
