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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchPath variable-volume valve system: switch between quiet daily mode and open aggressive mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE patented 180 Technology drone cancellation in closed-valve position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 3-inch T304L stainless steel construction with .065-inch wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome silver slash-cut tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-state emissions-compliant for all US states including California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play OE tier-1 valve actuators, no tune or ECU modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on fitment for 2024 and newer Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 EcoBoost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned, engineered, and hand-built in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRanger Raptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWE3025-32306\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3025-32306\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCat-Back Exhaust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitchPath Variable Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e.065 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome Silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrone Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 Technology (Patented)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmissions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-State Legal (CARB Compliant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOE Tier-1 Plug-and-Play\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 EcoBoost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWE Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWE Tuning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE3025-32306 SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome silver slash-cut tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE tier-1 valve actuator hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware and gaskets for bolt-on installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAWE installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout AWE Tuning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE Tuning is a precision performance engineering firm based outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, producing exhausts, intakes, and performance components for enthusiast vehicles. Every AWE exhaust system is designed, engineered, and hand-built in-house using American-sourced T304L stainless steel. AWE holds multiple patents including the 180 Technology drone-canceling solution and backs every product with a lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat years and trims does the AWE3025-32306 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the SwitchPath and a standard cat-back?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the AWE3025-32306 legal in California?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this exhaust require a tune or ECU modification?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does AWE 180 Technology eliminate drone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the AWE lifetime warranty cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the AWE3025-32306 fit with the factory Ranger Raptor skid plates and bash guards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAWE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan this exhaust be installed at home, or does it require a shop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
