Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 12-16 Porsche 911 (3.4, 3.8) Exhaust System Kit is a purpose-built, cat-back performance exhaust engineered specifically for the 991-generation Carrera. Developed first on a PDK car, this SwitchPath™ system was created to be 100% PDK friendly, delivering the aggressive character 911 owners crave while staying refined for everyday driving. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades that deliver both sound and street-legal peace of mind, this is the exhaust system you’ve been waiting for — only from AWE.
Drone-Free by Design
What sets this SwitchPath™ car exhaust apart is its valve-controlled design. In normal, non-sport-mode driving, the system remains 100% drone-free, keeping cabin comfort intact on the highway and around town. Flip into sport mode and the valves open to unleash the full voice of your flat-six. This is genuine performance exhaust engineering — big sound on demand, quiet civility when you want it.
Materials & Construction
Built from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 2.5″ tubing, this catback exhaust is designed for long-term corrosion resistance and consistent performance. As a Cat Back system, it replaces the exhaust piping behind the catalytic converters, and importantly, none of the components affect or alter any of the vehicle’s emissions devices. That means it is fully legal for street use, carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label, and comes with a No CEL Guarantee — no check-engine-light headaches, no tune required.
Stealth Looks with OE Tips
To finish the install cleanly, the system is designed to reuse the factory tips, keeping the rear of your 911 looking stealth and OE-correct while delivering serious upgrades underneath. Combined with AWE’s Fit Guarantee, this exhaust system installs with confidence and precision.
