SwitchPath Valved Exhaust:

Featuring AWE’s patented drone-canceling 180 Technology, the AWE SwitchPathbrings no drone, minimal bends, maximum flow, and push-button attitude. The SwitchPath Exhaust is composed of 3-inch U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel, a precision x-pipe, and a valved SwitchPath muffler tuned specifically for the S58.

Beginning after the factory mid-pipe, the precision X-pipe immediately helps smooth the S58 of its rasp, deepening the tone before it’s refined further by the bespoke SwitchPath muffler in the rear.

The closed valve experience

When the valves are closed, the SwitchPath Exhaust produces a refined, aggressive howl while remaining full-bodied and powerful no congested, metallic sounds when on the throttle. At cruising speeds, interior acoustics are close to stock with no drone at cruising speeds. AWE SwitchPath tech also responds perfectly to the many transmission settings and shift points in the G87. Drop the hammer with the valves closed and SwitchPath sings a proper M anthem. If you were to leave the valves closed at all times after equipping SwitchPath, we wouldnt blame you its that good all of the time.

The opened valve experience

Open the valves and the S58s roar is uncorked. Sport and Sport+ modes achieve the ultimate contrast in behavior when compared to comfort driving modes (valves closed). In Sport mode, the exhaust note is powerful, clean, and aggressive. In Sport+ mode, the same aggression applies but with grin-provoking burbles. Thanks to the precision X-pipe, the rasp is still kept in check while allowing the exhaust note to reach full aggression.

If youre looking for the best of both worlds (i.e. drone-free, clean aggression), and want to retain your factory valve behavior all while gaining peace of mind (i.e. emissions compliance), look no further than SwitchPath.

The Track Edition:

AWEs Track Edition takes all of the precision engineering and performance of its SwitchPath counterpart, minus the valved muffler in the rear. The result is a constant valve open mode, at an affordable price. If youre craving rich and rowdy tones at all times, and a hefty 13 lb weight savings, this is your dose of steel.

The Track Edition Exhaust, also 50 state legal like its SwitchPath sibling, comes complete with AWE valve simulators to accommodate your factory exhaust valve motors. Happy ECU, happy life.

Note: This version is known to get rowdy, and may be too much for many. For that reason, this particular version cannot be returned due to sound preference. Prepare yourself (Sport+ mode can be pretty raucous)!

The Non-Resonated Performance Mid Pipes:

Ditch the factory mid-section and replace it with two 3, non-resonated mid-pipes designed to up the ante in the aggression department. Mate the mid-pipes to the SwitchPath or Track Edition Exhausts if you prefer the party to start right behind the factory secondary catalysts.

Very important fitment notes (please read this too):

• Mid Pipes: AWEs Non-Resonated Performance Mid-Pipes are designed to be paired to AWE Exhausts only. Due to varying cut points, theyre not guaranteed to work with another manufacturers exhaust configuration.
• Exhausts: AWE Exhausts feature inlet adapters to mate to the factory mid-section. When pairing AWE Mid-Pipes to the SwitchPath or Track Edition Exhausts, the aforementioned adapters are not needed. Due to varying cut points, AWE Exhausts are not guaranteed to mate with another manufacturers mid pipes.
• Valances: AWE Exhausts are confirmed to fit all factory valances.
