Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System Kit for the 2018–2021 Volkswagen GTI (Hatchback, 2.0, FWD) is where refined driving meets genuine performance. Engineered as a complete cat back exhaust system, this kit produces a civil tone while idling and cruising, yet transforms the moment you give it the boot — unleashing what AWE calls a “war-cry wail.” It’s the ideal choice for GTI owners who want a mature, sophisticated character day-to-day and a thrilling voice on demand.
Key Benefits
Built from durable T304L Stainless Steel, this exhaust system is designed for longevity and consistent performance. A tailored resonated mid-pipe and mid-muffler keep the cabin civil while AWE’s 180 Technology helps manage unwanted drone, delivering a clean, focused sound. The Touring Edition is engineered to work with both stock and aftermarket downpipes, so it slots neatly into your build whether you’re running factory hardware or something more aggressive.
Sound is personal, and AWE makes it easy to dial in. If you ever decide to turn it up or turn it down, you can convert from a Track Edition to a Touring Edition — or vice versa — down the road. From most civil to most disobedient, the progression runs: 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.
