AWE Tuning Cat-Back Exhaust - VW MK6 GTI

AWE Performance Exhaust for Volkswagen MK6 GTI

• Full stainless steel catback
• Chrome Silver or Diamond Black Tip Finishes
• Exquisite Fit and Finish   
• Perfect Fitment - Guaranteed

Our exhausts have earned praise from owners and the press alike, due to their unique "Jekyll and Hyde" personality. We spend considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and cruising at part throttle, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once.

We spent considerable time examining how to maximize the performance and options of this exhaust system.

Here are some features of our system. Each feature was chosen for performance and longevity reasons, and when making your exhaust decisions you should settle for nothing less:

• Fully mandrel bent tubing
• Available with Round tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black Finishes
• Thick .065" wall T304 stainless steel tubing
• Stainless steel internal muffler and resonator construction
• Stainless steel MIG and TIG welds
• Stainless steel T-bolt clamps
• Double-walled exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration
• In-house dyno-developed

The catback system is topped off with your choice of 102mm slash cut tips available in chrome silver or a luscious diamond black finish. The tips sport laser-etched AWE logos and are double-walled to ensure a mirror polish even under hard usage. The system has multiple slip joints with high-quality stainless band clamps, to allow optimal adjustment.

Why did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our MK6 exhaust?

Our first 2.0T exhaust prototypes were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque, with very little offsetting gain up top. Take a look at our 3.0 inch prototype dyno sheets here and see why a 3.0 inch system is not appropriate for this car.
