Product Description
The AWE Performance Catback Exhaust for the VW Golf 1.8T and Golf SportWagen 1.8T is the ultimate way to unlock your car’s performance potential. Designed to maximize horsepower and torque, this exhaust system is a must-have for any enthusiast looking for better sound, greater performance, and more power. Available in both Touring Edition and Track Edition, AWE offers you the flexibility to choose the exhaust tone that best fits your driving style.
For those who want a sophisticated, refined exhaust note, the Touring Edition provides a deep rumble without the intrusive drone. It features a resonated front section and a straight-through rear muffler, delivering a smooth, aggressive tone that complements the Golf’s performance perfectly.
If you’re after maximum volume and an all-out performance sound, the Track Edition is your go-to. By removing the front resonator and replacing it with a straight pipe, the Track Edition offers a more pronounced, aggressive tone, giving your Golf the boost it needs to stand out on the road. However, keep in mind that the Track Edition is not for the faint of heart—this version delivers full-time volume and cannot be returned based on sound preference.
Both versions are handcrafted from 2.5” U.S.-sourced T304 stainless steel, ensuring top-notch durability and unmatched performance. The 90mm slash-cut tips come in chrome silver or diamond black, and they are individually adjustable to allow perfect tip depth for a customized look. Whether you’re cruising down the street or taking on the open highway, the AWE Performance Catback Exhaust provides superior airflow and dyno-verified gains that will have you loving every drive.
