The AWE Tuning R8 V10 SwitchPath™ Exhaust was designed with the unique sound characteristics of the 5.2L V10 in mind. Hundreds of hours of development and sound tuning were invested to unlock the perfect combination of exhaust tone, sound volume and practicality.

Performance wise, the R8 V10 SwitchPath™ Exhaust has demonstrated power gains of +21 hp / +50 ft-lb @ 2200 rpm, +11 hp / +6 ft-lb peak crank, and a 32 lb weight savings.

The R8 V10 SwitchPath Exhaust incorporates a proprietary mechanical valve system that controls sound volume: * Under part throttle and idle, valves route exhaust gasses through integrated mufflers, keeping sound levels civilized. * At 3/4 throttle application and more, the valves automatically open and the system goes into a more aggressive, "straight pipe" mode flowing primarily via the larger 2 1/2" tube channel. * An in-cabin mounted electronic SwitchPath Remote toggles the mechanical valves between "normal" and "straight pipe mode." Practical.
