The AWE Track Edition for the 8Y Audi S3 is aggressive by design, and it is a lot of exhaust for a daily commute. The AWE Track-to-Touring Conversion Kit turns your AWE Track Edition into the Touring Edition, the first S3 exhaust ever to use AWE's patented drone-cancelling 180 Technology®, without the cost of a complete new system.
The kit adds a pair of 180 Technology® mufflers in place of the Track Edition's straight sections. Tuned chambers inside each muffler reflect drone frequencies back out of phase so they cancel, while the gas flows straight through, so you keep the clean, sporty four-cylinder bark and the dyno-verified gains of the AWE system and lose the boom at highway speed.
The sections are handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel and manufactured in-house by AWE. They bolt to your existing AWE system and quad tips on the factory hangers, so the conversion is quick, and you can keep the Track pipes to swap back for track days.

Does it work without an AWE exhaust?
No. It converts the AWE 8Y S3 Track Edition (3020-42897 or 3020-43897). It is not a standalone exhaust.
Will my S3 still sound sporty?
Yes. It keeps the straight-through four-cylinder bark and removes the drone at cruising speed.
Can I go back to Track?
Yes. Keep your Track sections and swap them back whenever you like.
Do I need a tune?
No. AWE guarantees no check engine light when it is installed properly.
