Will the AWE SwitchPath Exhaust fit my C8 Corvette Z06?

Yes. The AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust is a direct bolt-on install for the C8 Corvette Z06 with no cutting required, and AWE backs it with their Perfect Fitment Guarantee and No CEL Guarantee. It retains all factory onboard mode controls, requires no valve relearn procedure upon installation, and has no effect on factory emissions equipment.

How much power does the AWE SwitchPath Exhaust add to the Z06?

The AWE SwitchPath Exhaust delivers maximum gains of 11hp and 14ft-lb of torque at the wheels. The system also weighs 42.5lbs compared to the stock exhaust at 57.5lbs, a savings of 15lbs, and is handcrafted from 3" CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-made .065" wall T304L stainless steel at AWE's facility in Pennsylvania.

What does the AWE SwitchPath Exhaust sound like on the Z06?

The system uses tuned straight-through mufflers and a properly engineered X-pipe to maintain a distinct, consistent tone in any valve position. With the valves closed, the exhaust stays controlled and composed; open, it sharpens into an aggressive, high-revving flat-plane V8 note. It remains refined during cruising but becomes intense at wide-open throttle, and the mufflers are designed to keep harsh frequencies in check when paired with high-flow pipes.

How does AWE protect the Z06's electronics from exhaust heat?

AWE fits the Z06 SwitchPath with a pair of machined aluminum heat shields that bolt directly to the factory bumper mounting points, keeping the exhaust visible through the mesh while shielding the inner bumper area. Unlike wrap-style approaches that can retain moisture and cause damage over time, this bolt-on setup provides a cleaner, more durable form of heat protection.

Description

AWE Tuning Valved SwitchPath Exhaust System w/ Diamond Black Tips for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The AWE Tuning SwitchPath Exhaust for the Z06 retains full factory valve operation without any relearn procedure, delivering gains of 11hp and 14ft-lb of torque at the wheels while giving the driver real control over the exhaust tone. Straight-through mufflers and a custom X-pipe produce a controlled, aggressive note with the valves closed and a more pronounced, open sound when activated. The system is built to last, using OEM-grade valves, machined aluminum brackets, and dual heat shields to protect electronics, all while coming in 15 lbs lighter than stock. It finishes with quad 4.5″ double-walled diamond black slash-cut tips and is fully emissions-compliant, engineered and manufactured in-house at AWE’s Pennsylvania facility.

Signature Sound All of the Time

AWE Tuning SwitchPath exhaust maintains a distinct, consistent tone in any valve position, driven by tuned straight-through mufflers and a properly engineered X-pipe. With the valves closed, it stays controlled and composed; open, it sharpens into an aggressive, high-revving flat-plane V8 note. It remains refined during cruising but becomes intense at wide-open throttle, all managed through the factory valve system, and pairs well with high-flow pipes thanks to mufflers designed to keep harsh frequencies in check.

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.
