AWE Exhaust Suite For MK8 Volkswagen Golf R

R is for Rumble. Introducing the most refined and aggressive exhaust suite ever offered for the Volkswagen Mk8 Golf R — the AWE Cat-Back Exhaust Suite. Designed to elevate both sound and performance, this system blends cutting-edge acoustic science with handcrafted American quality to bring your Golf R to life.

You have two choices:

• The Touring Edition, equipped with AWE’s patented 180 Technology®, delivers a smooth, drone-free ride with a full-bodied tone that never overwhelms.

• The Track Edition skips the resonators for maximum aggression and volume — it’s raw, loud, and unapologetically wild.

Both systems are fully emissions-friendly, feature a resonated mid-pipe, and transition smoothly from a 3” inlet to dual 2.5” outlets through a precision-stamped stainless merge. No valves, no gimmicks — just a true straight-through system that maintains a deep, hearty tone in every drive mode. Electronic valve simulators are included to keep the ECU happy and running at 100%.

Each system is handcrafted from .065” wall T304L stainless steel, with quad 4.5” double-walled tips available in chrome silver or diamond black. The tips are individually adjustable to allow perfect alignment within your rear valance, and each one wears the AWE badge with pride.

Dyno-proven gains of +4 horsepower and +1 lb-ft of torque at the wheels give your Mk8 R an edge in performance, while keeping your highway experience calm and comfortable — depending on the edition you choose.

Want to change it up later? No problem. Conversion kits are available so you can easily swap from Touring to Track or vice versa. Everything bolts up cleanly using factory locations, and each system comes with AWE’s Lifetime Warranty, No CEL Guarantee, and Perfect Fitment Guarantee.
