Touring Edition:

Engineered to perfection, the Touring Edition Exhaust is designed to give your Jetta 2.0T a more aggressive, yet sophisticated tone. The Touring Edition Exhaust features a resonated midsection and replaces the large stock rear muffler with a straight-through resonator featuring AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®.

Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology®.

As exhaust gases exit the Jetta’s 2.0L engine and flow into an 180 Technology® equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.

Track Edition:

Featuring a straight-through design, the Track Edition Exhaust revamps the Jetta 2.5L’s attitude by replacing the rear 180 Technology™ resonator with a straight pipe section, providing a more pronounced, aggressive tone in the mid range without being boomy in the cabin. This product cannot be returned or exchanged based upon volume preference!

Tip Options:

All tip options include the AWE logo, and double walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.

AWE 2.0T Exhaust Dyno Tests

Below are comparison dyno tests as performed on our Mustang MD-500-SE AWD dyno.

All tests were performed on the same car, with controlled ambient conditions. Each test is average of 3 runs performed.

Cat Back Exhaust Testing

Our first prototype for the A3/GTI/GLI was a 3" diameter cat back system. Careful before and after dyno testing showed that for this car, bigger was definitely not better. The air mass found inside the 3" tubing proved to be a restriction to the engine until the higher rpm region, and even at that point gains were minimal. Our reputation is to bring only proven products to market, and a 3" system is definitely not the wise choice for power on this car. Design was rejected.

After further dyno testing, we found that a 2.50" diameter gave the best overall balance of torque and horsepower gains. Peak gain were 3.1whp and 0.1wtq.

In the graphed gains sheet below you'll find the measured differences between baseline and test in dyno sheet of AWE 2.50" Cat Back Dyno Test vs stock exhaust. The AWE 2.50" exhaust produces a maximum increase of 4 wheel hp at 5300 rpms and 28 wheel torque at 2400 rpms vs. the stock exhaust. Overall, gains are seen over practically the entire powerband.
