Description
Overview
The 22-26 Volkswagen Golf R (Hatchback, 2.0, AWD) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is the first AWE cat back exhaust for the VW Golf R to feature patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®. Engineered as a true bolt-on performance exhaust, this Touring Edition delivers full-bodied rumble outside the car while keeping the cabin refined and drone-free — the do-it-all exhaust for every day drivers who still want to be heard.
Built from durable T304L stainless steel with 3″ tubing, this exhaust system is designed for a precise, straight-through fit. The Touring Edition features a 3″ inlet complete with an adapter that accommodates the factory downpipe perfectly while leaving an open 3″ connection, so airflow stays uncompromised from the point of installation.
Why 180 Technology® Matters
In the rear of this catback exhaust reside AWE’s patented 180 Technology® resonators, responsible for maintaining straight-through performance while decimating drone-prone frequencies. Thanks to the design and construction of these resonators, the internals will not break down and degrade over time causing tone change. The result is full-bodied, drone-free rumble for life — no valves needed. Switch driving modes and the exhaust renders the same result as a valved exhaust, giving you the best ratio of interior refinement and exterior rumble on the market.
