Description
Overview
The 15-20 Audi S3 (2.0) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a valved SwitchPath™ cat-back exhaust system engineered to give your small sedan two distinct personalities. Built around smooth bends and tight packaging, this performance exhaust is handcrafted from 3-inch and 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel, with a valved passenger-side tip outlet that lets you dial your car exhaust from discreet to downright rowdy.
SwitchPath™ retains the factory valve behavior and obeys the S3’s ECU commands based on throttle input, engine speed, and Drive Select. Sneaking out in the morning or creeping through town? Close the valve for a civil, neighbor-friendly tone. Ready to rip? Toggle into Dynamic and your S3 will sing a signature AWE tune with enhanced crackles that provoke a firm grin. It’s a true catback exhaust system designed to behave when you want it to and roar when you don’t.
Key Benefits
Because this is a valved SwitchPath™ system, you get the best of both worlds without compromise. No tune is required, and it carries a No CEL Guarantee, so installation stays clean and hassle-free. The Voluntary Label rates it 50 State Legal, and AWE backs the exhaust with a Fit Guarantee for confidence when you shop for exhaust upgrades on your S3.

Options & Control
While the SwitchPath™ is designed to work with the factory controls, if you want full control to open or close the valve any time, add the AWE SwitchPath™ remote for push-button mood control. And if you ever decide to flip to full-rowdy all the time, AWE made it easy to convert between SwitchPath™ and Track Edition later on, so you can change your volume whenever the mood strikes. The tips come standard in Chrome Silver, complete with the stamped AWE logo.
Fitment
This exhaust system kit is engineered specifically for the 2015-2020 Audi S3 (2.0). With smooth bends and tight packaging, it slots into place as the new standard for Audi’s skyrocketing small sedan. Whether you’re comparing a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, MagnaFlow exhaust, or Walker exhaust, the AWE SwitchPath™ delivers valved versatility, premium stainless construction, and a signature performance exhaust experience purpose-built for the S3.
