Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust System Kit is engineered specifically for the 2015-2017 Volkswagen GTI (Hatchback, 2.0, FWD), giving MK7 owners a purpose-built, aggressive-sounding cat-back exhaust system that complements the GTI’s storied lineage. Merging decades of experience with hundreds of hours of prototyping, engineering, dyno testing, and daily usage evaluation, this is a performance exhaust built for drivers who want to turn it up to 11.
The Track Edition takes all of the handcrafted engineering of the Touring Edition and replaces the resonator with a straight pipe section, delivering a more aggressive tone at a more aggressive price. Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 3-inch tubing, this catback exhaust is designed to sound and last the way a premium car exhaust should. Please note: this is a loud system, and buyers should be aware. Because it is loud by design, it cannot be returned or exchanged based on volume preference.
Key Benefits
If, after running the Track Edition, you decide it’s a bit too much, AWE makes it easy to swap over to a Touring Edition using the Conversion Kit — just bolt it on and tone it down. That flexibility means you can commit to the boldest exhaust pipe setup now and adjust later without starting over.
When it comes to tips, the Track Edition finishes off with dual 102mm slash-cut tips in a Diamond Black finish, featuring the AWE logo so everyone knows what team you’re on. Each tip is individually adjustable, letting you set the depth into the bumper according to personal taste. The tips are also double-walled to maintain a mirror finish even under hard usage.
