The AWE Track Edition Exhaust for the 2018-2021 Volkswagen GTI Mk7.5 keeps the same precision engineering as the Touring Edition, minus the resonated mid-pipe. A non-resonated mid-pipe leaves the mid-muffler as the only filter, and AWE says this version is known to get rowdy and may be too much for many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tips are 102mm slash-cut with the AWE logo, double-walled for a mirror finish under hard use and individually adjustable for depth into the bumper. The system is handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent 3\" and 2.25\" U.S.-sourced .065\" wall T304L stainless steel and bolts on for factory-like simplicity. With an aftermarket downpipe, AWE quotes up to 21 hp and 24 lb-ft at the crank without software.
