Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Volkswagen (Wagon – 1.8 – AWD) Exhaust System Kit is a purpose-built conversion kit engineered to transform your existing AWE Touring Edition cat-back into a more aggressive Track Edition setup. Rather than replacing your entire exhaust system, this kit swaps the rear 180 Technology® sections for Track Edition straight sections, unlocking a bolder character from the car exhaust you already trust. It’s a smart, focused upgrade for Volkswagen wagon owners who want to evolve their performance exhaust without starting from scratch.
Constructed from durable T304L stainless steel, this AWE Tuning conversion kit is designed to deliver lasting corrosion resistance and the kind of premium fit and finish that separates a quality catback exhaust from generic alternatives. With a 3-inch tubing diameter, the straight sections open up the exhaust flow path for a more direct, track-oriented tone and presence.
Key Benefits
Because this is a Conversion Kit, it builds on your current AWE Touring Edition cat-back exhaust system rather than requiring a full replacement. The straight sections remove the 180 Technology® hardware from the rear, giving your wagon a louder, more purposeful voice while retaining the engineering pedigree AWE Tuning is known for. Best of all, no tune is required and there’s no Check Engine Light to worry about, so installation is straightforward and drivability stays intact.

How the Conversion Works
This kit is engineered specifically as a conversion for owners who already run the AWE Touring Edition cat-back exhaust. By removing the 180 Technology® rear sections and installing the Track Edition straight sections, you fundamentally change the exhaust pipe path and the resulting sound signature. It’s an efficient way to shop for exhaust upgrades that build on your existing investment rather than replacing it wholesale.
Fitment
The AWE Tuning Exhaust System Kit is built for the Volkswagen Wagon with the 1.8 engine and AWD configuration. It is designed to integrate with the existing AWE Touring Edition cat-back exhaust system on that platform, and it comes backed by AWE Tuning’s Fit Guarantee for confidence in your purchase. Whether you’re comparing this against a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, MagnaFlow exhaust, or Walker exhaust setup, this conversion kit offers a targeted path to Track Edition performance without a complete exhaust system swap.
