Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning SwitchPath™ Exhaust System Kit transforms the 2023-2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 into a dual-personality machine, delivering two distinct tones from one meticulously engineered package. Built specifically for the 5.5L flat-plane V8 RWD platform in both Convertible and Coupe body styles, this cat-back exhaust system lets you dial the character of your car exhaust from well-collected and comfortable cruising to an all-out riot when you rip through the revs. Whether the valves are open or closed, SwitchPath™ unleashes a signature soundtrack thanks to specifically tuned straight-through mufflers and a precision-engineered x-pipe.
Why This Performance Exhaust
Flat-plane and furious describes it perfectly. With the valves closed the tone is aggressive; open them up and it turns viscous—exactly how a high-revving flat-plane V8 should sound. Everything is controlled via the factory controls, so there’s no new interface to learn and no compromise to daily drivability. When you shop for exhaust upgrades for the Z06, this borla exhaust and magnaflow exhaust alternative from AWE Tuning stands out because it was engineered around this specific engine’s harsh frequencies. Planning on high flow cats? Proceed with confidence—the mufflers were engineered to fully control those tones.
Built For The Long Haul
This exhaust system is constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 3-inch tubing and a full cat-back design. It features four tips in a striking Diamond Black finish, giving your Corvette an unmistakable presence. SwitchPath™ uses tier 1 OEM-supplied valves, and every kit includes a set of machined aluminum brackets that accommodate the factory valve motors and their factory linkage. These brackets keep the electronics away from the hot exhaust pipe, prolonging their lifespan—and unlike others on the market, these valves won’t rattle a year after installation.
