Remember the first time you saw an R8? Your reaction was probably
something along the lines of, "what is THAT? Well, same for us.
From that moment forward, our work was cut out for us we had to
create a masterpiece for the masterpiece. Introducing two serious
options for your R8:
The AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust
The Audi R8 4.2L SwitchPath Exhaust sets a new standard. Beyond the
hand crafted detail that is standard for every AWE Tuning Performance
Exhaust, this one packs a little something special: The R8 4.2L Exhaust
incorporates a proprietary mechanical valve system that controls sound
volume:
- Under part throttle and idle, valves route exhaust gasses through a central muffler, keeping sound tame and drone free.
- At 3/4 throttle application and more, the valves open and the system is unleashed going into "straight pipe" mode.
- An in-cabin mounted electronic SwitchPath Remote toggles the
mechanical valves between "normal" and "straight pipe mode." Practical.
The SwitchPath Exhaust line has set a new bar. SwitchPath Exhaust highlights include:
- Designed and manufactured in-house at AWE Tuning
- Crafted from T304 stainless steel
- Uses Factory Tips
- No CEL with full system or straight pipes
- German Engineered control valves
- CNC machined V-Band connections
- One piece, full bolt on system means easy and reversible installation
- Programming optimized for R8 engine characteristics
- Lifetime Warranty
AWE Tuning stands by this product with a lifetime warranty, however,
the straight pipes cannot be returned or exchanged based upon sound
satisfaction.
For racing use only
Please note that due to the elimination of catalytic converters, this
exhaust is legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a
highway.
If you have an R8 4.2L and you're looking to make one of the most meaningful evolutions available, this is your move.
