The Track Edition uses a straight-through rear configuration for maximum exhaust volume, while the Touring Edition is designed to reduce interior resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can the Track Edition be converted to the Touring Edition?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. A separately available AWE Track-to-Touring Conversion Kit allows the exhaust to be converted without replacing the complete catback system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does this exhaust require ECU tuning?\u003cbr\u003eA: No. ECU tuning is not required when the system is installed and used as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does it work with the factory downpipe?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The exhaust is designed to connect to the factory downpipe. Compatibility with aftermarket downpipes may vary based on their outlet design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Will this exhaust cause a check engine light?\u003cbr\u003eA: The catback system is covered by AWE's No Check Engine Light Guarantee when properly installed on a compatible vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is the Track Edition suitable for daily driving?\u003cbr\u003eA: It can be used on a daily-driven vehicle, but it is intended for drivers who prefer a louder exhaust note. Those seeking a quieter cabin may prefer the Touring Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is this exhaust legal in California?\u003cbr\u003eA: The catback system does not replace factory emissions equipment and is listed by AWE as 50-state legal. Local sound regulations may still apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShop With Confidence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert fitment support available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrusted performance brands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and free shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe not only price match but also beat our competitors' prices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Chrome Silver Exhaust Tips","offer_id":41732203675817,"sku":"3020-32022","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Diamond Black Exhaust Tips","offer_id":41732203708585,"sku":"3020-33024","price":1045.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6673\/files\/AWETuningTrackEditionExhaustVWMK7GTI-FASTuning.jpg?v=1739317917","url":"https:\/\/www.fastuningstore.com\/products\/awe-tuning-track-edition-exhaust-mk7-gti","provider":"FAS Tuning ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
