Description
Five-cylinder fury. That iconic RS 3 growl just found its final form. The AWE Exhaust Suite for the Audi 8V RS 3 is designed to extract performance, reduce weight, and deliver that unmistakable AWE tone—all while retaining emissions compliance and perfect fitment.
Whether you want refined aggression or all-out fire, there’s an option for you:
The SwitchPath™ Edition is a valved system that integrates seamlessly with the RS 3’s factory controls—Drive Select, throttle input, and the OEM exhaust button all remain fully functional. Featuring a valved 3” outlet on the passenger side and a tuned 2.5” muffled driver’s side, the system delivers a smooth tone during daily cruising and snarls open when you’re ready to play. Includes Diamond Black 180mm RS-style oval tips stamped with the AWE logo.
For the bold, the Track Edition removes the valve and muffler entirely for a full-time, straight-through design. It offers the same handcrafted construction and precision engineering as the SwitchPath™, but skips the restraint—resulting in a raw, permanently open-valve experience. And yes, it’s loud. Also includes Diamond Black 180mm RS-style oval tips.
Both systems are handcrafted from 3” and 2.5” CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel and engineered for a direct bolt-on installation, with zero interference with emissions systems. Weight savings are significant: up to 36.5 lbs lighter than stock in the Track Edition and 28.5 lbs lighter in the SwitchPath™.
Want to switch it up later? No problem—AWE offers Conversion Kits to go from Track to SwitchPath™ and vice versa, letting you fine-tune your RS 3’s sound and personality at any time.
Like all AWE systems, it’s backed by their Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No CEL Guarantee, and Lifetime Warranty.
