The SwitchPath™ Exhaust comprises 3-inch U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel featuring a bespoke, straight-through center resonator featuring AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, tuned specifically for the 4.0TT.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaintaining and utilizing the factory valve behavior, SwitchPath™ tech obeys orders given via the MMI and Drive Select to determine its mood just as the stock exhaust would. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe closed valve experience:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhen the valves are closed, the SwitchPath™ Exhaust produces a refined, sophisticated soundtrack – no metallic sounds when on the throttle. At cruising speeds, interior acoustics are close to stock with no drone thanks to the 180 Technology® resonator in the center. SwitchPath™ tech also responds perfectly to the commands given via Drive Select, so if you drop the hammer while cruising, expect it to behave just like factory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe opened valve experience:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOpen the valves and the 4.0TT’s roar is uncorked. Dynamic mode achieves the ultimate contrast in behavior when compared to comfort driving modes (valves closed). The exhaust note is powerful, clean, and aggressive. Thanks to the 180 Technology®-equipped resonator in the center, drone-prone frequencies are still kept in check while allowing the exhaust note to reach full aggression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSound Perfection thanks to 180 Technology®:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAs exhaust gases exit the 4.0TT engine and flow into an AWE 180 Technology® equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. Call it science, call it magic, or call it 180 Technology® by AWE. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAWE ReflecTip™ Technology:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGiven the RS’ interior sound deadening, it made hearing the enhanced exhaust sound a challenge. This challenge birthed AWE’s parabolic tip design–the ReflecTip–engineered to reflect the exhaust note toward the driver so you can get the dose of excitement you crave when driving your RS. They’re 31% larger than the stock tips, fill the valance perfectly, and come standard in AWE’s signature diamond black finish. They mount independently to the bumper via included brackets allowing them to float around the outlets of the SwitchPath™ exhaust, reflect off of the inner geometry of the tips, and back towards you, the captain of the rocket ship. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat’s in the box?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eComplete AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust, two AWE parabolic tips in diamond black, two valve extension harnesses, and all required hardware and bracketry for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-state emissions-compliant dual 3” catback exhaust \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bespoke SwitchPath™ design featuring patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespect the oval: proprietary parabolic ReflecTip™ design amplifies exhaust note towards the driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDyno-proven max gains of 8 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque at the wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains factory valve behavior via MMI and Drive Select\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-catalyst downpipes feature factory-matched flanges and robust flex sections to absorb engine movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently-mounted tip brackets secure to the bumper via factory locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess is more: clean, straight-through design for maximum performance and tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProudly engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house, in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits models with and without rear-wheel steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure bolt-on, no-cutting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Fitment Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE No CEL Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Audi C8 RS6\/RS7: Sounds legends are made of\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ITUSm3Z6Ba0\" height=\"540\" width=\"960\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z7Yv1Upyw88\" title=\"AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for Audi C8 RS 6 Avant \/ RS 7 Sportback\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe height=\"540\" width=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZsusoutPGBY?si=HHo_EObOplGOA1Vw\u0026amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43982722039970,"sku":"3025-33776","price":7275.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/uHp8GpJ0_56254326-ce73-4a98-8eed-f3fc896b5e5c.png?v=1705703439","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/awe-switchpath%e2%84%a2-exhaust-audi-c8-rs6-avant-rs7","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
