Description
Overview
The 12-18 Volkswagen Jetta Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a purpose-built conversion kit that transforms your existing AWE Touring Edition Cat Back into a bolder Track Edition. Rather than replacing your entire exhaust system, this kit swaps the rear 180 Technology® Axle Back for a Track Edition straight section, unlocking a more aggressive tone from your car exhaust without starting from scratch. If you already run the AWE Touring setup and want more character, this is the direct path to get there.
Engineered specifically for the Jetta Sedan with the 1.4, 1.8, or 2.0 engine (2012–2018), the kit is crafted from premium T304L Stainless Steel and built around 2.5-inch tubing. That combination delivers the durability and corrosion resistance serious enthusiasts expect from a performance exhaust that has to live under a daily-driven car.
Key Benefits
By removing the 180 Technology® resonance-canceling section and installing the Track Edition straight section, you get a louder, more purposeful exhaust note. Because this is a conversion kit and not a full catback exhaust replacement, installation is focused and efficient, letting you build on the AWE Touring Edition foundation you already own. Best of all, no tune is required and there’s no drivetrain guesswork — bolt it on and drive.
Highlights
- T304L Stainless Steel construction for long-term durability and corrosion resistance

Options & Configuration
This is offered as a Conversion Kit edition, meaning it is designed to work in tandem with your existing AWE Touring Edition components rather than as a standalone valved system — there are no valves on this setup. Choose this configuration when your goal is to step up the sound and attitude of your current AWE exhaust system while keeping the rest of your proven cat-back hardware in place.
Fitment
This exhaust pipe kit is designed for the 2012–2018 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan equipped with the 1.4, 1.8, or 2.0 engine. It requires an existing AWE Touring Edition Cat Back to complete the conversion. With a Fit Guarantee, 50 State Legal voluntary labeling, and a No CEL Guarantee, it’s an easy, confidence-inspiring upgrade for owners who want to shop for exhaust upgrades that are engineered to fit and perform. When you’re comparing options across borla exhaust, corsa exhaust, magnaflow exhaust, and other names, this AWE Tuning conversion delivers a focused, purpose-built path to the Track Edition experience.
