Product Description
The AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust delivers two sound personalities in one premium valved catback system for the 2015–2017 VW MK7 Golf R. Enjoy a quieter, refined tone during cruising, then unleash a sharper, more aggressive AWE signature sound when you want it loud.
The SwitchPath system retains factory valve behavior and follows Golf R ECU commands based on throttle input, engine speed, and Drive Select settings. Close the valves for low-key driving, then switch to Dynamic mode for an engaging, performance-focused exhaust character.
