{"product_id":"awe-track-edition-exhaust-volkswagen-golf-r-mk8","title":"AWE Track Edition Exhaust for 2022-2026 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mk8 Golf R is a brilliant all-weather hot hatch, but its factory exhaust keeps the 2.0T turbo four on a short leash. The AWE Track Edition Exhaust lets it rumble: a raw, aggressive cat-back for drivers who want to hear every shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE handcrafts the system from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel in a clean, straight-through layout. A slip-fit inlet adapter matches the factory downpipe perfectly while leaving an open 3-inch connection for future upgrades. AWE dyno testing showed gains of 4 hp and 1 lb-ft at the wheels; the real story is the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quad 4.5-inch double-walled, slash-cut tips come in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black, and each outlet adjusts individually for a perfect fit in the rear valance. The system is manufactured in-house at AWE and carries AWE's No Check Engine Light and Perfect Fitment guarantees plus a lifetime warranty. If you want a drone-free cabin instead, the Touring Edition with 180 Technology is the calmer choice, and AWE conversion kits let you switch editions later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack Edition: AWE’s most aggressive Mk8 Golf R sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch and 2.5-inch CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless, .065-inch wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-fit inlet adapter for the factory downpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGains of 4 hp and 1 lb-ft at the wheels, per AWE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad 4.5-inch double-walled slash-cut tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually adjustable tip outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack Edition cat-back exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-fit inlet adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad 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 3020-42658;
