Installing AWE SwitchPath Exhaust on my Wife’s New Audi S3!

[@agg25gga]

So good to not hear a car ruined by a "pops n bangs" exhaust

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I never did any tuning or gurgles for this car. It already makes the little pops between shifts. Great sounding car the way it is!

[@thaixiong4283]

S3 would be a nice edition to add to my collection one day as well. Keep up the good work and nice review!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Great daily for sure! And thanks!

[@LastHumansGarage]

i love the switchpath on my 2018 S3. although mine is the older one which has a larger muffler than the newer ones which have a mini muffler.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Great sounding system for sure! I bet they sound similar. Maybe just new muffler tech to make it weigh less.

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed BRO... no shit right.. that thing weighs double what the stock catback weighs.. hurts performance.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh wow! This new one we got is much lighter for sure!

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed do you have the one with the square-ish muffler only on one side? mine is a full muffler. yours prob weighs 1/3 less than mine, maybe about equal to stock weight.

[@LastHumansGarage]

ive always thought that half - muffler thing would be too loud for me, cuz i feel mine is perfect.

[@dave11686]

Love the S3! Love the color and your wife has great taste in cars

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! We love the color so much!

[@stealthhtm23]

can always use obdeleven to keep the valves open all the time, because they don’t open till after 3000rpm even in Dynamic.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I have a vid coming on all that 😅

[@amill1563]

Do you ship any exhaust systems out to CA? I thought maybe exhaust mods were illegal over here now.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yes this one is available to be shipped to CA from what I know!

[@kylenewberry2598]

Think she'll ever want to upgrade to the rs3 for the 5 cylinder?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5Ouf4aQhMSlfJo That’s why we bought this 😅 We’re waiting for our RS3 💪🏼

[@LeParfumAndy]

How much further can these tips stick out compared to stock exhaust? I have a 2020 s3 with a carbon diffuser and the stock exhaust looks goofy.. really interested in this exhaust setup

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The way I have it setup, I could pull the tips about another inch out. So I think you'll be good! Just let us know if you want to make an order! These are made to order, so the sooner you get it in, the sooner they can build it! We are loving it!

[@LeParfumAndy]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Does the track exhaust come with the valve simulators or do you need to purchase those separately?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@LeParfumAndy They should both come with it. I could double check with awe if you ordered one from us to make sure you have them.

[@TrevorKNYC]

I just recently came across your channel and I appreciate the step by step installation content. I picked up a 2022 A3 this summer and I am trying to decide which exhaust to go with, and this set up seems perfect. I would be curious to see what it sounds like after a stage 1tune.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it should sound a tad more aggressive with a tune. But sound won't really change much. Not sure if this exact system fits the A3 or not.

[@TrevorKNYC]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed unfortunately you are correct. I don’t see that AWE offers any options for the A3. Appreciate the response

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@TrevorKNYC Yeah no problem! We might have an intake that will fit your car. We carry MST and Armaspeed

Hey I like your video i have a s3 2016 with stage 2 ..what is the price for the awe catback exhaust..and shipping to Canada 🇨🇦

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Unfortunately AWE doesn't ship to Canada. US only. If you have a US place we can ship one to you. But nothing out of country

Hi nice video!, is has stock DP or an aftermarket one?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Stock downpipe. Intake is the only other performance mod so far

[@Krissyfoxtrot]

Would that work with a 2022 Sonata N-Line >

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Not this exact product. But you can see if AWE offers parts for your car

Does your coupon code work when purchasing an AWE Exhaust from your site?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

We don't have any coupon codes for this at the moment. That would just depends if AWE does any sale. However we have AWE parts in stock ready to go!

[@_NB233]

Is this fully stock ? Great vid

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I have an intake on it, and then just this exhaust. Glad you liked it!

[@sasagrcevic475]

NEVER get under the car while its only on the jack. Support the side you go under with pieces of hard wood or something else that wont get crushed under the weight.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That’s why I had jack stands under the car and blocks, those are all clearly shown.

[@sasagrcevic475]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Sorry didn't saw those at first. Safety first bro :)

Yeah that is stock. Air intake was the only other part on the car. Kit sounds so good!

[@vinh3922]

does it throw any CEL?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nope! Just a normal cat back system. There won’t be any issues with it.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh, thanks mate!

[@metalnickster]

Will this box fit in the car ?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I'm not sure. Maybe if you put the seats down and slide it through the doors. But worst case if you need to transport it in the car just unbox it and it'll all fit

[@_NB233]

If I put this on and bring it in for work on warranty, would they have a issue ?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You shouldn't have any issues. A dealer would have to prove this product caused an issue with the car. No possible way a catback exhaust can cause an issue. If you replaced the downpipe, since that takes away emissions items, you could run into issues. But not with a catback like this

Cool! it sounds just like my 2015 S3 (stock), those years were the best!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sounds amazing with the AWE kit! So much better then stock ;)

[@volkssturm9694]

no, it sounds like your 2015 S3 because it had a factory resonator delete, there is absolutely no difference between your 2015 S3 and other years 8V S3's except the 2018+ has the better 7 speed DQ 381 dual clutch tranny.

@@volkssturm9694 yeah I found out mine is not stock, and it has the resonator delete. I was always suspicious because it sounded too good

[@bslothed3211]

@@volkssturm9694 Um it actually doesn't have a better gearbox thank you lmao, only difference is shorter ratios, the shifting speed and is the same but the 6 speed is stronger, hence why more people go for the pfl S3..

[@volkssturm9694]

@@bslothed3211 you’re completely wrong and misinformed. The 7 speed DQ381 is absolutely stronger than the older DQ250 6 speed .

[@martindelgadillo8620]

What year is you audi .?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

2016

[@bholm369]

I had an S3 8V myself and in my honest opinion the MQB cars have some of the worst sounding motors. Probably due to the fact that the exhaust manifold is built into the head for these engines. I had a catless dp with a res delete at first. Then went full exhaust. After that it was decent at best. Was a fun car though.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Stock it’s nothing special. Now it’s a really proper sound. Certainly fun cars!

[@MistaBrown420]

Meh honestly I like the Grunty sound it makes for being just a 4 banger certainly sounds better than the honda type r imo

[@volkssturm9694]

totally subjective, the S3's beefed up 2.0T with the right exhaust set up to many actually sounds really good for a 4 banger turbo. I personally love how my S3 sounds with intake and factory resonator delete, nice and deep, throaty .

Don't drive with the panoramic roof cover open! The cover can get loose and it's an expensive repair

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That makes no sense. You are able to drive with the cover open and nothing should happen to it! Is that what happened in yours? I’ve had many vehicles with a sunroof and you are able to have it open or closed just fine.

[@MauriceNL1]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Mine is still fine luckily, but saw some cars woth the cover hanging loose. It's a cheap cloth/plasticy cover so with hard winds it can stretch or something

[@chanuka_rulez8343]

I love Audi's their design is just 👌. Mercs look the same, BMW has that lung grill😂 which I'm getting used to. But what I absolutely hate in Audi is the softlimiter. It doesn't let you rev past 3000rpm & sound so bad. An exhaust upgrade is definitely worth it. Also when you are tuning the car make sure you get rid of that softlimiter. Anyways great video as always. Lauren has a great car to rip around now😂

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Good to know! I'm sure the tuning will bump all that up for sure!

[@slowmk7gti488]

Once you get a down pipe on that car will sound like shit. Been there done that. shit exhaust but if you get the V1 switch path it’s WAY better and no rasp on v1 AWE just cheaped out even though It’s a 2k exhaust

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Idk, sounds great now. When I do a downpipe we’ll see. Can always try for a resonated downpipe to tone it down if needed
