Product Description

The AWE 3020-23028 is a Track Edition cat-back exhaust with Diamond Black tips, engineered for the Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.0T (2012-2018, including 2015-2016 Autobahn, SE, and SEL trims) and the 1.8T Highline, SE, SEL, Sport, Comfortline, and Comfort trims spanning 2014-2018. Featuring a straight-through design, this exhaust replaces the rear 180 Technology resonator with a straight pipe section, delivering a more pronounced, aggressive tone in the mid-range without becoming boomy in the cabin.

The system finishes with 90mm slash-cut Diamond Black tips featuring the AWE logo, individually adjustable to set bumper depth to personal taste, and double-walled to hold a mirror finish even under hard use. Every system is engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE, then handcrafted from 2.5-inch U.S.-sourced CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel, delivering max gains of 7 hp and 7 lb-ft of torque at the crank.

This exhaust is intended for GLI and 1.8T Jetta owners looking for a raw, unfiltered exhaust character without going the full turbo-back route, backed by AWE's No Check Engine Light guarantee with no software required. Because of its intentionally aggressive sound character, this exhaust cannot be returned or exchanged based on volume preference.
