Description

AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust w/ Chrome Silver Tips for MK7 Volkswagen Golf R

AWE Golf R chrome SwitchPath for the MK7 Volkswagen Golf R is built from 3″ and 2.5″ U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel and integrates directly with the factory valve system. It reads the ECU’s commands through Drive Select, throttle input, and engine speed, staying quiet during a relaxed cruise and opening up with an aggressive tone when you push it. In Dynamic mode, expect crackles, character, and the kind of sound that makes the Golf R feel like what it actually is. Max gains reach 12hp and 9ft-lb of torque at the wheels on stock software in the turbo-back configuration.

SwitchPath

The AWE SwitchPath Exhaust pairs a valved rear section with the factory valve control system, so the exhaust behaves the way the car is being driven. Keep it in a comfort-oriented Drive Select mode for a composed, drone-free cruise; switch to Dynamic or get into the throttle, and the valve opens for the full, aggressive Golf R soundtrack with crackles and character on demand. It’s the flexibility of two exhausts in one, controlled from the factory interface with no additional hardware required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AWE Golf R chrome SwitchPath use the factory Drive Select to control the valves on the MK7 Golf R? Yes. The SwitchPath integrates directly with the MK7 Golf R’s factory valve system, reading Drive Select mode, throttle input, and engine speed to decide when to open and close the valve. In comfort-oriented modes it stays composed and drone-free at cruise; in Dynamic mode, or under hard throttle, it opens up for the full aggressive tone with crackles and pops. No aftermarket controller is required, though AWE offers the SwitchPath Remote separately for drivers who want independent push-button control from the cabin.
What are the real power gains from the AWE Golf R chrome SwitchPath on the MK7 Golf R? AWE quotes max gains of 12 hp and 9 ft-lb of torque at the wheels on stock software, measured in the turbo-back configuration, meaning with an AWE downpipe included in the system. The SwitchPath catback on its own, running the factory downpipe, delivers a more modest gain; most of the quoted figure comes from the less restrictive downpipe. The catback’s primary purpose is sound and valve control rather than peak power, and gains scale further once the car is tuned.
Does the AWE Golf R chrome SwitchPath drone at highway speeds on the MK7 Golf R? With the valve closed in a comfort-oriented Drive Select mode, the SwitchPath is composed at highway cruise and drone is well controlled. Drone becomes more noticeable with the valve open in Dynamic mode at sustained highway speeds, which is expected given the valve is designed to unleash the full tone in that state. For long highway stretches, keeping the car in a comfort mode holds the cabin quiet; the whole point of the SwitchPath is that the aggressive tone is there on demand rather than all the time.
What tip finish and size does the AWE Golf R chrome SwitchPath use on the MK7 Golf R? This listing ships with 102mm double-walled, slash-cut tips in chrome silver. The tips are stamped with the AWE logo, double-walled to maintain a clean finish under heat, and sized to fill the MK7 Golf R’s rear valance cutouts correctly. Diamond black is offered as a separate configuration for owners who want a darker look; the exhaust system itself is identical between the two finishes.

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.
