AWE Tuning 09-12 Audi R8 V10 Coupe SwitchPath Exhaust
Unlike other systems on the market, the AWE Tuning R8 V10 SwitchPath™ Exhaust is bespoke for the V10 engine, and not just a repurposed R8 V8 system. Designed with the unique sound characteristics of the 5.2L V10 in mind, hundreds of hours of development and sound tuning were invested to unlock the perfect combination of exhaust tone, sound volume and practicality. This is an unmatched piece of Performance Engineering.
Beyond the hand-crafted detail that is standard for every AWE Tuning Performance Exhaust, this one packs a little something special: The R8 V10 SwitchPath™ Exhaust incorporates a proprietary mechanical valve system that controls sound volume:
In "Normal" mode, the system's valves are controlled by throttle position, while in "Straight Pipe Mode" the system gets aggressive from the start (ideal for racing and track usage).
In addition to our valve system, our SwitchPath™ exhaust is civilized at idle and part throttle because we use small 2 ¼" tubing for the idle and part throttle flow path. Further, the compact mufflers you see in the photos are outfitted with a double layer of OE grade stainless steel wool and composite acoustical wrap, and a carefully chosen internal perforation pattern. While the mufflers are small in size, coupled with the small diameter exit tubing on that channel and our h-pipe balance section, a sweet, higher pitched exotic sound is produced that tends to be much more naturally pleasing to the ear.
Please note, this exhaust system is for racing use only.
We offer FREE Ground Shipping anywhere in the Continental U.S. 48 States (excluding p.o. box addresses) for most wheel and tire orders over $500. Products may be shipped via Fedex, UPS, RLCarriers, etc. Due to the nature of ground shipping, multiple packages may arrive at different times. Usually within a few days apart at most.
As long as the product has not been installed, you can return it to us within 14 days of delivery. This includes, but is not limited to, unmounted wheels and tires, suspension, and any other parts that are not custom made to your vehicle. The product MUST be in BRAND NEW RESELLABLE CONDITION and MUST be in ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS PACKAGING. For returns, you must first call and get an authorization from us, so that we can document the reason for its return. If you do not get this authorization, we will not know why the items are being returned, and many times we will not know who it is returning them.
For cancellations, you must first call and verify that the order is not in production if your wheels are custom drilled or shipped. If the product has been received by us for mounting and balancing, restocking fees and shipping fees will be applied. Restocking fees are determined by the wheel, tire, or suspension brand. Some manufacturers do not charge a restocking fee. Some can charge up to a 25% restocking fee. You will be responsible for the return shipping if delivered, and the initial shipping charges incurred are non refundable. Clearance items are non-refundable and do not come with a warranty as many times the product is being discontinued, and will no longer be available. Wheels that are custom built or semi-custom built are not returnable and cannot be exchanged for any reason as they are built specifically for your vehicle. If your wheels are in production and are custom made to your vehicle, they are not able to be cancelled. Any product that has been altered, modified, or customized for the customer or by the customer is sold as is, and cannot be returned or refunded for any reason.
