The AWE Touring-to-Track Conversion Kit turns it into a Track Edition. It replaces the Touring mid section, which carries the 180 Technology® resonator, with the straight Track mid section used on the Track Edition, so you get the louder edition without buying a whole new exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE designed its Mk8 GTI exhaust suite so owners always have options, and conversion kits are how you move between editions. The Track mid section is handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel with a .065\" wall, manufactured in-house by AWE, and fits in place of the Touring mid section using the clamps already on your system. Note that AWE does not accept returns of the Track Edition for sound preference, so listen to the clip below
