Product Description

The AWE 3020-23022 Track Cat-Back Exhaust is a performance-focused exhaust system crafted specifically for 2015-2017 Volkswagen Golf models equipped with the 1.8L turbocharged engine and front-wheel-drive drivetrain. Designed as a Track Edition system, it features a straight-through layout that eliminates the forward resonator found in the stock system, resulting in a louder, more aggressive mid-range exhaust tone that's perfect for enthusiasts seeking enhanced presence and character on the street and track. The handcrafted CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing ensures quality construction and improved flow performance, while the dual 90 mm slash-cut tips add a bold visual upgrade to the rear bumper area.

Installation is a direct bolt-on process with included hardware and requires no cutting or welding, making it a straightforward upgrade for Golf owners. Adjustable dual tips allow you to fine-tune the fit within the factory rear bumper openings, and AWE's Perfect Fitment and No Check Engine Light Guarantees give confidence in compatibility across supported configurations. The Track Edition focuses on raw sound and performance, making it ideal for drivers who want a more aggressive exhaust note without sacrificing bolt-on simplicity. **Fitment confirmed through 2017; 2018-2025 coverage unconfirmed at time of listing.**
