{"product_id":"awe-touring-edition-exhaust-vw-mk8-golf-r","title":"AWE Touring Edition Exhaust for 2022-2026 VW Mk8 Golf R 2.0T","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mk8 Volkswagen Golf R has the grip and the pace, but its factory exhaust keeps the 2.0T four-cylinder politely muted. The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust adds a full-bodied rumble that suits the car's character, and it is the first AWE system for a Golf R to use patented drone-cancelling 180 Technology, so the cabin stays quiet when you are simply commuting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE found the factory drive-mode button already gave the change in character they wanted between modes, so this system drops the valves altogether. That saves weight, simplifies installation and keeps the sound consistent and predictable. The 180 Technology resonators are straight-through and their internals do not degrade over time, so the tone you hear on day one is the tone you keep. AWE reports dyno-verified gains of 4 whp and 1 lb-ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cat-back is handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel. A slip-fit inlet adapter mates to the factory downpipe while leaving an open 3-inch connection, and the quad 4.5-inch double-walled slash-cut tips, in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black, are individually adjustable to sit just right in the bumper. AWE conversion kits let you switch to the Track Edition later, and the system is backed by AWE's No CEL guarantee, Perfect Fitment guarantee and lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouring Edition cat-back for the 2022-2026 VW Golf R (Mk8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Golf R system with AWE 180 Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValveless design: lighter and simpler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch and 2.5-inch mandrel-bent T304L stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-fit adapter for the factory downpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually adjustable tip outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad 4.5-inch double-walled, slash-cut tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouring Edition cat-back exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-fit inlet adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 4.5-inch tips in the chosen finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\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 3015-42658;
