Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning SwitchPathâ„¢ Catback Exhaust System Kit transforms the 2018–2023 Ford Mustang (Coupe, 5.0L, RWD) into a car with two personalities: refined and civil when you want it, ferocious when you don’t. Built around AWE’s valved SwitchPathâ„¢ design, this performance exhaust retains all the customization of the factory active exhaust while unleashing the 5.0L V8 with the push of a button or the drop of a hammer. It’s a complete cat-back exhaust system engineered for both sophistication and raw power.
Sound, Flow & Engineering
SwitchPathâ„¢ is valved for your comfort, giving you on-demand control over volume and character. The full 3″ design flows freely, and the precision H-pipe delivers a deep, rich muscle tone with minimal rasp — a distinctly different result from an X-pipe layout. Straight-through, bullet-style resonators in the mid pipes further minimize rasp, making this catback exhaust an ideal choice for drivers considering header upgrades down the road. AWE’s 180 Technology is engineered to eliminate drone, so the car exhaust note stays clean at cruise.
Every part of the exhaust system is crafted in PA, USA from US-sourced T304L stainless steel for lasting durability and corrosion resistance. Modular 3″ inlets include slip-fit adapters for seamless integration with factory headers, with the option for a dual 3″ connection for those seeking an even more aggressive setup.
Emissions & Fitment
This is a genuinely street-friendly performance exhaust: the SwitchPathâ„¢ Cat Back is 100% emission-friendly and integrates seamlessly with factory emissions equipment, carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label, and requires no tune. AWE backs it with a No CEL Guarantee and a Fit Guarantee, so installation and everyday driving stay hassle-free.
Tips & Finish
Completing the package are quad 4″ slash-cut, double-walled tips in a Diamond Black finish for a purposeful, factory-plus appearance out back. The four-tip layout announces the 5.0’s presence without shouting for it.
