Description

Let’s take this sleeper up a notch. The AWE Exhaust Suite for the Audi 8V S3 sets the standard for power, tone, and street refinement. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at AWE’s Pennsylvania facility, this system unleashes the full potential of the S3 while preserving factory-level comfort when you need it.

Choose between two configurations:

The SwitchPathā„¢ Edition features a valved 3ā€ passenger-side outlet and a muffled 2.5ā€ driver-side outlet. The valve operates in sync with your car’s Drive Select, throttle input, and engine speed, delivering refined tone during cruising and a head-turning growl under throttle. Want full manual control? Add the AWE SwitchPathā„¢ Remote (sold separately) to toggle the valve at will.

The Track Edition removes the valve and muffler for a raw, aggressive exhaust tone that’s always on. Built with the same precision and materials as the SwitchPathā„¢, this version offers full-time performance sound — and yes, it’s loud. Not for the faint of heart, and not returnable based on sound preference. Fortunately, conversion kits are available to switch back if needed.

Both systems are constructed from CNC mandrel-bent 3ā€ and 2.5ā€ T304L stainless steel with a clean, straight-through design and a slip-fit inlet adapter that allows seamless factory downpipe integration while preserving upgrade flexibility.

Each setup includes quad 102mm slash-cut, double-walled tips in chrome silver or diamond black, engraved with the AWE logo and individually adjustable for precise bumper alignment.

Track Edition customers can add AWE Valve Simulators to suppress ECU codes caused by valve removal (sold separately).

As always, AWE exhausts are 100% emissions-friendly, feature a No CEL Guarantee, and are backed by a Perfect Fitment Guarantee and Lifetime Warranty.
