Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning BMW Track Edition Cat Back Exhaust System Kit is built for drivers who want their S55-powered 3.0 coupe, sedan, or convertible to sound rich and rowdy at all times. As AWE’s second-generation Track Edition, this exhaust system carries all the precision engineering and performance of its SwitchPath™ counterpart — minus the valved muffler in the rear. The result is a constant “valve open” experience delivered at a more affordable price, making it one of the most focused performance exhaust upgrades you can bolt on.
Every car exhaust in this line is handcrafted in house at AWE world HQ from U.S.-sourced .065″ wall T304L stainless steel. The 3″ CNC mandrel-bent Cat Back configuration and precision-engineered X-pipe work together to unlock a clean, unmistakable S55 tone. Because it retains all factory catalysts, this catback exhaust achieves perfect tone with a 50-state legal design — a rare blend of aggression and compliance when you shop for exhaust upgrades.
Performance & Sound
Removing the valved muffler nets a hefty 22.5 lb weight savings, and this Track Edition delivers max gains of 12 hp and 16 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. No tune is required, so the power is ready the moment the exhaust system is installed. Be warned: this version is known to get rowdy, and Sport+ mode can be pretty raucous. If you’re craving that constant open-valve character, this is your dose of steel.
Tips & Finish
Four 102mm double-walled, slash-cut tips finished in Diamond Black give the rear a purposeful, motorsport-inspired look. The 4″ tip diameter and Diamond Black finish frame the diffuser cleanly and pair perfectly with the aggressive tone of this exhaust exhaust pipe setup.
