Remember the first time you saw an R8 Your reaction was probably something along the lines of, “what is THAT ” Well, same for us. From that moment forward, our work was cut out for us – we had to create a masterpiece for the masterpiece. The Audi R8 4.2L SwitchPath (TM) Exhaust by AWE sets a new standard. Beyond the handcrafted detail that is standard for every AWE exhaust, this one packs a little something special: The R8 4.2L Exhaust incorporates a proprietary mechanical valve system that controls sound volume: Under part throttle and idle, valves route exhaust gasses through a central muffler, keeping sound tame and drone free. At 3/4 throttle application and more, the valves open and the system is unleashed – going into “straight pipe” mode. An in-cabin mounted electronic SwitchPath (TM) Remote toggles the mechanical valves between “normal” and “straight pipe mode.” Practical. NOTE: Please note that due to the elimination of catalytic converters, this exhaust is legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.If you have an R8 4.2L and you’re looking to make one of the most meaningful evolutions available, this is your move.
