AWE Tuning Track Exhaust w/ Chrome Silver Tips for Mk7 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

The AWE Tuning Track Exhaust for the Mk7 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, designed to pair with a high-flow downpipe, is a 3″ stainless steel cat-back system engineered to deliver a more aggressive and unfiltered exhaust character. Unlike the Touring Edition, it omits the 180 Technology® resonator, allowing mid-range and high-RPM tones to be more pronounced while maintaining control at lower speeds. The system features a straight-through midpipe and rear section to preserve consistent exhaust velocity and minimize restrictions, and the 102mm chrome silver tips sit neatly within the rear valance. Installation uses factory mounting points, retains full emissions compliance, and the exhaust is engineered to provide consistent fitment, tonal balance, and performance across all driving conditions.

Track Edition Exhaust

• The Track Edition Exhaust is designed for drivers seeking a more aggressive, unfiltered tone. It retains the integrated front pipe, midpipe resonator, and precise engineering of the Touring Edition but swaps the rear 180 Technology® drone-canceling resonator for a straight-through section. This produces a louder, more pronounced sound during mid-range acceleration and deceleration, which may feel intense for some drivers.

Exhaust Tips

• Both Touring and Track Editions feature configurable tips, allowing owners to switch between dual or triple 4.5″ slash-cut setups using the included stamped tip connections. The tips are 4.5″ double-walled, available in chrome silver or diamond black, feature the AWE logo, and can be adjusted in depth to match personal preference.

Nope, It’s Not Valved

• AWE analyzed the factory exhaust valve across different driving modes and found that overall volume is mostly consistent. The valve remains closed only in Comfort mode until a throttle threshold is reached, while Sport and Sport+ modes keep it open, with Sport+ introducing ECU-controlled burbles. In the stock setup, exhaust flows through the side mufflers when the valve is closed to reduce cabin noise and drone, and through the center section when open.

Conversion Kits

• The system supports easy switching between Track and Touring Editions, as well as between dual and triple tip configurations, offering flexibility to adjust both sound and appearance over time.
