Our exhausts have earned praise from owners and the press alike, due
to their unique "Jekyll and Hyde" personality. We spend considerable
time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when
idling and cruising at part throttle, while also producing a war-cry
wail when full throttle is applied. Sophisticated, refined, and
powerful, all at once.
Turning good into great
The factory exhaust on the GLI consists of a long downpipe, with two
catalytic converters, and two rather large mufflers in the section after
the cats. We fixed that.
Highlights include:
- Fully mandrel bent tubing
- Available with Chrome Silver or Diamond Black Finishes
- Thick .065" wall T304 stainless steel tubing
- Fully lined stainless steel flex joint in downpipe
- Stainless steel internal muffler and resonator construction
- Stainless steel MIG and TIG welds
- Stainless steel T-bolt clamps
- Double walled exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration
- In house dyno developed and tested
- No CEL - Guaranteed
- Featuring the AWE Tuning Lifetime Exhaust Warranty (one year on downpipe catalyst and exhaust tips)
Track Edition
Similarly, The Mk6 Jetta GLI Track Edition Exhaust replaces the
factory exhaust and includes a straight through resonator, but to allow a
more aggressive exhaust tone, the Track Edition does not include the
rear resonator.
Conversion Kits
Its too loud! Its too quiet!
Dont worry. If youre looking to crank up a notch or bring
it down, perfectly engineered upgrade paths are available. Turn your
Touring Edition to a Track Edition, or vice versa, with ease. Simply
unclamp the rear Touring or Track Edition section and replace with the
new configuration.
Important fitment notes
Have a 2013 GLI? Be sure to check your engine code (here's how) to
ensure correct fitment on your vehicle. Certain engine types feature
different downpipe fitments, so lets be sure this will fit yours.
Why did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our MK6 exhaust?
Our first 2.0T exhaust prototypes were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found
that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch
system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque with very little
offsetting gain up top. Take a look at our 3.0 inch prototype dyno
sheets here and see why a 3.0 inch system is not appropriate for this car.
Please note that due to the use of high flow catalytic converters, our downpipe section is for racing use only.
