Description
Overview
Built for drivers who like it raw, rowdy, and light, the AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust System Kit transforms the 2015-2020 Audi S3 (2.0) into an unapologetically aggressive performer. This cat back exhaust system takes all of the precision engineering and performance of its SwitchPath™ counterpart, minus the valve on the passenger’s side and the muffler on the driver’s side. The result is a constant “valve open” mode that delivers a genuinely uncompromising soundtrack. Note that this version is known to get (really) rowdy, and may be too much for many drivers.
Why the Track Edition
If you want a performance exhaust that wears its intentions on its sleeve, this is the catback exhaust to shop for. Because the valves are eliminated on the Track Edition, the ECU stores what is known as a ‘soft code’ in the system. This code is not harmful and does not throw a CEL, and AWE backs that with a No CEL Guarantee. Best of all, no tune is required to run this exhaust system, so you get the noise and character without added complexity.
Materials & Build
Every exhaust pipe in the kit is fabricated from durable T304L Stainless Steel with a 3-inch tubing diameter, engineered for longevity and consistent flow. The car exhaust is finished with four slash-cut tips featuring a 4-inch tip diameter in a bright Chrome Silver finish, each complete with the stamped AWE logo for a clean, purposeful look at the rear of your S3.
Options
This Track Edition is designed as a constant valve-open experience with no valves and no 180 Technology. If you later decide you’d prefer a more sophisticated, neighbor-friendly setup, AWE offers Conversion Kits to swap over to the SwitchPath™ option, giving you room to grow with your build.
Fitment
Purpose-built for the 2015-2020 Audi S3 (2.0), this cat back exhaust is backed by AWE’s Fit Guarantee for a confident, bolt-on installation. It also carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label, making it a straightforward choice for owners across the country.
