Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust System Kit is built for the hottest of Volkswagen’s hatchbacks — the 2015–2017 Golf R Base (2.0, AWD). Engineered for those who like it raw, rowdy, and light, this cat-back exhaust system delivers unmatched quality, fitment, performance and tone. It 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, resulting in a constant “valve open” mode. If you want a car exhaust that makes a statement every time you fire it up, this is the performance exhaust to shop for.
Key Benefits
Fabricated from T304L Stainless Steel, this exhaust system is designed to stand up to heat, corrosion and years of hard driving. The 3-inch tubing feeds four Chrome Silver tips, giving the Golf R an aggressive, purposeful look to match its rowdy voice. Because it runs in a constant valve-open configuration, this valveless Track Edition system is known to get (really) rowdy — and may be too much for many. For that reason, this version cannot be returned due to sound preference, so choose it knowing you’re after maximum attitude.

Options & Add-Ons
Feeling that the Track Edition is a bit too much down the road? AWE makes it easy to tone it down with the SwitchPath™ Conversion Kit — just bolt it on and dial back the volume, simple. There’s also the matter of the valves: on Track Edition systems the valves are eliminated, and the ECU stores what is known as a ‘soft code.’ While this code is not harmful, who wants it? The AWE Electronic Valve Simulators (sold separately) plug right into the factory harness in place of the exhaust valves and prevent any code from ever being stored. It’s an easy, clean way to keep everything running the way it should.
Fitment
This exhaust system kit is engineered specifically for the 2015–2017 Volkswagen Golf R Base in Hatchback, 2.0, AWD form. As a Cat Back system with AWE’s Fit Guarantee, it’s built to bolt on with confidence. Whether you’re comparing catback exhaust options or searching for an exhaust pipe shop near me, the AWE Track Edition delivers precision fitment and a raw, rowdy character that few systems can match.
