AWE Tuning - SwitchPath Catback Exhaust - BMW F90 M5 ^Sale

We made the S63 sound epic with the valves closed, and with them open… again! All while remaining emissions-compliant. Presenting the second generation of SwitchPath Exhaust for the BMW F90 M5.

The SwitchPath™ Catback Exhaust features dual 3” CNC mandrel-bent .065” wall T304L stainless steel tubing from downpipes to tip outlets with a precision-engineered X-pipe in between. Equipped with valved rear sections, the SwitchPath™ Catback retains all of the M5’s valve behavior when changing driving modes and/or using the exhaust button found on the console.

The closed valve experience
When the valves are closed, the SwitchPath Exhaust produces a refined, aggressive howl while remaining full-bodied and powerful – no congested, metallic sounds here when on the throttle. At cruising speeds, interior acoustics are close to stock. AWE SwitchPath tech also responds perfectly to the many transmission settings and shift points in DCT vehicles. Drop the hammer with the valves closed and SwitchPath sings a proper M anthem. If you were to leave the valves closed at all times after equipping SwitchPath, we wouldn’t blame you, it’s that good… all of the time.

The opened valve experience
Open the valves and the S63’s roar is uncorked. Sport and Sport+ modes achieve the ultimate contrast in behavior when compared to comfort driving modes (valves closed). In Sport mode, the exhaust note is powerful, clean, and aggressive. In Sport+ mode, the same aggression applies… but with grin-provoking burbles…a lot of grin-provoking burbles. Thanks to the precision X-pipe, the rasp is still kept in check while allowing the exhaust note to reach full aggression.

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds and want to retain your factory valve behavior all while gaining peace of mind (i.e. emissions compliance), look no further than SwitchPath.

Tips
