Will the AWE SwitchPath Axleback Exhaust for F90 M5 fit my car?

This SwitchPath Axleback Exhaust for F90 M5 fits the 2018 to 2023 M5, the 2019 to 2023 M5 Competition and the 2022 M5 CS, all with the 4.4L S63. It installs with clamps and couplers at the factory connection points and needs no cutting. Send us your VIN if you want the fitment confirmed before ordering.

How does the valve work?

SwitchPath is fully valved and follows the factory valve logic, so the M5 drive modes control it just as they control the stock exhaust. In comfort settings it stays composed at cruise, and in the sportier modes the valves open for the full AWE soundtrack. AWE supplies wiring extension leads for the connection.

How much power does it add?

AWE tested its SwitchPath Catback on a 2018 F90 M5 and recorded peak gains of 4 hp and 4 lb-ft, with maximum gains of 22 hp and 18 lb-ft at the wheels at points in the rev range. This version was not tested separately, so treat those figures as a guide only.

What is the difference between the Catback and the Axleback?

The Axleback keeps the factory mid section and replaces the axle tubes, rear sections and tips. The Catback adds the AWE Performance Mid Pipe with a precision X-pipe for more change in tone and a larger weight saving. The mid pipe is also sold separately if you want to add it later.

What warranty does AWE give?

AWE covers the stainless system with its Lifetime Warranty, with one year of coverage on the tip finishes, and adds its Perfect Fitment Guarantee and No CEL Guarantee. The four chrome silver tips are double-walled with a stamped AWE logo, and the system is handcrafted in-house in Pennsylvania from U.S.-sourced T304L stainless.

Description

AWE Tuning SwitchPath Axleback Exhaust for F90 BMW M5 with Chrome Silver Tips

AWE Tuning’s SwitchPath Axleback Exhaust for F90 BMW M5 with Chrome Silver Tips gives the S63 twin-turbo V8 two characters: composed at cruise, then a full, open soundtrack when you open the throttle. It replaces everything from the rear axle back and ends in four 4-inch double-walled chrome silver tips, all handcrafted from dual 3-inch T304L stainless.

Valved, With Factory Control

SwitchPath is fully valved and works with the factory valve behavior, so the M5 drive modes decide when it stays quiet and when it opens. Wiring extension leads are supplied for the valve connection.

Axleback Simplicity

The Axleback keeps the factory mid section and replaces the axle tubes, rear sections and tips. It can be paired later with the AWE Performance Mid Pipe for the full catback setup.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
