Product Description

The AWE 3025-43906 SwitchPath™ catback exhaust is built specifically for the 2023-2026 Corvette C8 Z06. This system maintains full valve control (aggressive vs quiet modes) using AWE's proprietary SwitchPath™ design, giving drivers flexibility in sound without sacrificing OEM functionality. Constructed from 3" T304L stainless steel and featuring mandrel bends, the system flows more freely and sheds weight.

With dyno gains of +11 hp and +14 lb-ft at the wheels, the system also reduces weight by roughly 15 lbs compared to stock. Heat shields protect surrounding components, and the diamond black 4.5" slash-cut tips give a refined, aggressive tail-end presence. AWE ensures no need for valve relearn, plugs directly into the factory valve system, and includes detailed installation instructions for a bolt-on setup.
