Bolt-On Variable Volume Cat-Back Performance for the 2024 and Up Ford Ranger Raptor
The AWE Tuning AWE3025-32306 SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust brings AWE's American-engineered variable-volume exhaust technology to the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 EcoBoost. Built from US-sourced T304L stainless steel with a .065-inch wall thickness, this system connects the Ranger Raptor's factory downpipe to a set of polished chrome silver slash-cut tips using AWE's proven bolt-on fitment process. The SwitchPath valve system gives the driver direct control between a refined, drone-free daily-driving tone and a full-open aggressive exhaust note on demand, all without any tune or ECU modification. AWE's patented 180 Technology eliminates drone in the closed-valve position, so the AWE3025-32306 is genuinely livable on long highway runs. The system is 50-state emissions-compliant, making it a legal upgrade in all US states including California.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years and trims does the AWE3025-32306 fit?The AWE3025-32306 is designed for the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger Raptor equipped with the 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine. It does not fit earlier Ranger Raptor models with the 2.0L or 3.0L diesel powerplants sold in international markets, nor does it fit the standard Ford Ranger or the F-150 Raptor.
What is the difference between the SwitchPath and a standard cat-back?The SwitchPath system incorporates OE tier-1 motorized exhaust valves that allow the driver to switch between a closed-valve daily-driving mode and an open-valve performance mode. In closed position, AWE's patented 180 Technology eliminates exhaust drone for comfortable highway driving. In open position, the full exhaust volume and aggressive tone are available on demand. A standard cat-back has no valve and operates at one fixed sound level at all times.
Is the AWE3025-32306 legal in California?Yes. The AWE3025-32306 is 50-state emissions-compliant and meets California Air Resources Board standards, making it legal for road use in all 50 US states including California.
Does this exhaust require a tune or ECU modification?No. The AWE3025-32306 is a completely plug-and-play installation. The OE tier-1 valve actuators connect to the factory wiring harness without any tune, piggyback module, or ECU modification required. The system installs, functions, and operates entirely within the factory vehicle architecture.
How does AWE 180 Technology eliminate drone?AWE's patented 180 Technology uses precise acoustic engineering to cancel the resonant frequencies responsible for exhaust drone in the highway RPM range. By positioning and tuning muffler chambers to produce a 180-degree phase-inverted cancellation wave, drone is eliminated at the frequencies where it is most fatiguing without muffling overall exhaust character or reducing flow.
What does the AWE lifetime warranty cover?AWE's lifetime warranty covers the AWE3025-32306 against defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser. Coverage applies when the product is installed and used as intended on the specified vehicle. The warranty is non-transferable and does not cover damage from improper installation, misuse, or racing use. Contact AWE Tuning directly to initiate a warranty claim.
Will the AWE3025-32306 fit with the factory Ranger Raptor skid plates and bash guards?AWE engineers the SwitchPath system to maintain proper clearance with the factory underbody protection on the Ranger Raptor platform. The system is designed to clear the factory bash guard geometry and maintain adequate ground clearance. Verify fitment with any aftermarket underbody armor or skid plate upgrades before ordering, as non-OEM configurations can vary.
Can this exhaust be installed at home, or does it require a shop?The AWE3025-32306 is a direct bolt-on system requiring standard hand tools, a lift or jack stands, and basic mechanical competence. No welding, cutting, or bending is required. Most experienced DIY installers complete the installation in two to four hours. AWE provides detailed installation instructions with the system. Professional installation at an exhaust or performance shop is also an option if preferred.
Installation Instructions
- Safely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands. Allow the factory exhaust to cool completely before starting.
- Spray all factory exhaust flange bolts and clamp hardware with penetrating oil and allow to soak for at least 15 minutes.
- Disconnect the factory exhaust valve actuator electrical connectors and set aside for reuse with the AWE system.
- Remove the factory cat-back exhaust section by unbolting the mid-pipe flange and rear hangers. Keep factory hangers for reuse.
- Dry-fit the AWE3025-32306 mid-pipe section to confirm clearance and hanger alignment before final installation.
- Connect the AWE mid-pipe to the factory downpipe flange using the supplied hardware and new gaskets. Hand-tighten only.
- Route the AWE system onto the factory rubber hanger mounts, ensuring correct alignment and clearance from the underbody.
- Connect the OE tier-1 valve actuator harness connectors to the factory vehicle wiring.
- Position the chrome silver tips at the desired angle and confirm even placement side-to-side.
- Torque all flange bolts and clamp hardware to specification, working front to back.
- Start the vehicle and check all connection points for exhaust leaks. Test both valve positions (open and closed) to confirm proper operation.
