Description
Overview
Upgrade your 2022-2026 Volkswagen Golf R (Hatchback, 2.0, AWD) with the AWE Tuning Touring Edition Cat Back exhaust system kit — the first AWE performance exhaust for the Golf R to ever feature patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®. Engineered from durable T304L stainless steel, this complete catback exhaust system delivers a full-bodied, drone-free rumble from the moment of installation, giving daily drivers the ideal balance of interior refinement and exterior aggression.
The Touring Edition features a 3” inlet with a 3” tubing diameter, complete with an adapter that accommodates the factory downpipe perfectly while leaving an open 3” connection. In the rear reside AWE’s patented 180 Technology® resonators, which maintain straight-through performance while eliminating drone-prone frequencies. Because of how these resonators are designed and constructed, the internals won’t break down or degrade over time, so the tone stays consistent for the life of the car exhaust.
Key Benefits
No valves are needed with this exhaust system. Switch driving modes and the exhaust renders the same result as a valved exhaust — making it the true do-it-all car exhaust for every day driving. There’s no tune required, and it ships with a Fit Guarantee and a No CEL Guarantee for confident, straightforward installation.

Tips & Finish

The double-walled construction adds visual depth and a factory-plus level of fit and finish that stands out against lesser exhaust pipe upgrades.
Fitment
This Touring Edition Cat Back exhaust system kit is purpose-built for the 2022-2026 Volkswagen Golf R Hatchback with the 2.0 engine and AWD.

It’s a performance exhaust system built for drivers who want it all — refined inside, rumbling outside, every single day.
