The turbocharged five-cylinder in the 8V Audi RS3 is one of the great engine sounds, and the AWE Track Edition Exhaust lets it out all the time. It takes the precision engineering of AWE's valved SwitchPath™ system and removes the driver's side muffler and the passenger side valve, so the exhaust runs in a constant valve-open mode. If you crave rich five-cylinder tones at every speed, this is your dose of steel.
AWE handcrafts it from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel with a clean, straight-through design. AWE measured max gains of 30 hp and 25 lb-ft of torque at the wheels at 6,400 rpm, and the Track Edition is 36.5 lbs lighter than stock. Diamond Black RS-style tips come standard.
The system is a direct bolt-on, engineered, designed and manufactured in-house by AWE. If you ever find it too much, AWE's Track-to-SwitchPath Conversion Kit returns valve control and a more civilized note. It carries AWE's Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No Check Engine Light Guarantee and lifetime warranty, with one year on the tip finish.

How is it different from SwitchPath?
SwitchPath keeps a muffler and working valves with factory exhaust button control. Track Edition removes them for constant valve-open sound and is sold as a separate listing.
Does it fit the 2022+ RS3?
No. The 8Y RS3 uses a different AWE system.
Is it louder than SwitchPath with the valves open?
Track Edition sounds like SwitchPath with the valves held open, all the time, since it has no driver's side muffler.
