Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Cat Back Exhaust System Kit is engineered specifically for the 2018-2021 Volkswagen GTI (Hatchback, 2.0, FWD), delivering the ideal intersection of performance and sophistication. Built as a true catback exhaust system, it produces a civil tone while idling and cruising around town, then rewards a firm right foot with an unmistakable “war-cry wail.” If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades that add character without droning inside the cabin, this AWE Tuning exhaust system hits that balance.
Central to the Touring Edition is a tailored resonated mid-pipe paired with a mid-muffler, tuned to keep interior volume comfortable at highway speeds. This performance exhaust is designed to work with both stock and aftermarket downpipes, giving you flexibility in how aggressive you want your GTI’s car exhaust to sound.
Key Benefits
Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel, this exhaust system is designed to stand up to heat and corrosion for the long haul. It features AWE’s 180 Technology to help manage sound, and it carries a No CEL Guarantee along with a Fit Guarantee, so installation and operation are worry-free. Best of all, no tune is required to run it, and it is 50 State Legal, making it a smart choice for daily-driven GTIs.
Sound & Configuration
Not sure how loud you want to go? AWE simplifies volume by mapping out combinations from civil to disobedient: Touring Edition with a factory downpipe, Touring Edition with an aftermarket downpipe, Track Edition with a factory downpipe, and Track Edition with an aftermarket downpipe. The Touring Edition sits on the more refined end of that spectrum. And because AWE made conversion easy, you can switch from a Track Edition to a Touring Edition, or vice versa, if you decide later to turn it up or turn it down.
