The options:

We wanted to make sure that the AWE Golf R Exhaust Suite had coverage for all sound goals and price points. Regardless of selection, every AWE Golf R exhaust boasts legendary AWE sound, performance, quality and fitment.

The SwitchPath Exhaust:

AWE SwitchPath Exhaust Technology is a proprietary solution that utilises valves in the exhaust to control tone and volume. Controlled by a combination of throttle input and engine speed, SwitchPath Technology keeps the Golf R quiet and comfortable while cruising, but give it the boot and you'll unlock an aggressive and exotic exhaust note.

The Track Edition Exhaust:

The lower-priced sibling, the Track Edition Exhaust, boasts all of the precision engineering as the SwitchPath Exhaust, minus the SwitchPath valves. In other words, this system is the "open valves" side of the spectrum, all the time, and will be most pronounced in the mid-range.

This version is known to get rowdy, and may be too much for many. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself.

Please note: Customers choosing our Track Edition will also need a set of AWE Valve Simulators to avoid a CEL.

Performance Downpipes:

To further hone the tone and performance of your Golf R, we're offering both resonated and non-resonated downpipe. Both versions feature our No Check Engine Light Guarantee, Fitment Guarantee, a unique flex-pipe section to isolate engine movement, and offer our Lifetime Warranty on the downpipe (one year on the catalyst).

  • Resonated Downpipe: Slightly louder than the stock Golf R downpipe. Featuring our No CEL Guarantee (even without software) and a sophisticated and distinguished tone. We recommend our Resonated Downpipes as the best choice for a refined presence within the Golf R cabin.

  • Non-Resonated: Removes the resonator for a more aggressive note and greater volume than the stock downpipe. Featuring our No CEL Guarantee (even without software) and a pronounced note. AWE Non-Resonated Downpipes (and their associated packages) are only recommended for Golf R owners who like it loud, and this product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound satisfaction.

What's in the box?

Complete SwitchPath or Track Edition Exhaust, four 102mm tips in chosen finish, and all necessary hardware for installation.

Notes:

The AWE Tuning Performance Downpipes are for racing use only.
