Product Description
Producing an exhaust system for Volkswagen’s seventh-generation GTI was no easy task. AWE combined decades of GTI exhaust development with extensive prototyping, engineering, dyno testing, and real-world daily driving to create what many consider one of the most refined GTI exhaust systems available.
The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust represents the balance between performance and sophistication. It delivers a smooth, civil tone at idle and during cruising, then opens up with a sharper, more aggressive “war-cry wail” under throttle that transforms the driving experience.
