The five-cylinder in the 8Y Audi RS3 has one of the best engine notes on the road, and the AWE Track Edition Exhaust lets you hear all of it, all the time. It takes the precision engineering of AWE's SwitchPath™ system and removes the driver's side muffler and the passenger side valve, so the exhaust behaves like a permanent valve-open setting. If you crave rich five-cylinder tones at every speed, this is your dose of steel.
AWE handcrafts the system 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 that maximizes performance. AWE measured max gains of 9 hp and 11 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, and the Track Edition saves 39 lbs over stock. AWE valve simulators are included to accommodate the factory valve motors, and the system reuses your factory tips.
It is a direct bolt-on, made in the USA, and backed by AWE's Fitment Guarantee, No Check Engine Light Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty. AWE describes its RS3 cat-backs as 50-state emissions-compliant.

How is it different from SwitchPath?
SwitchPath keeps working valves and a muffler. Track Edition removes both for constant valve-open sound, and is sold as a separate listing.
Will I get a valve fault code?
No. AWE includes valve simulators for the factory valve motors.
Does it come with tips?
No. It reuses your factory RS3 tips.
