Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AWE 3025-33306?
The AWE 3025-33306 is the SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L EcoBoost V6, finished with 5-inch double-walled diamond black tips. It uses the factory OEM valve to deliver two driver-selectable exhaust tones, is handcrafted in Pennsylvania from T304L stainless steel, and installs without cutting or welding. It is backed by AWE's perfect fitment guarantee, no CEL guarantee, and a lifetime warranty.
What years does the AWE 3025-33306 fit?
The 3025-33306 fits the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger Raptor equipped with the 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine. It does not fit the standard Ranger 2.3L, prior-generation Rangers, or Ranger Raptor models sold outside the USA with different engine configurations.
How does the SwitchPath valve work on the Ranger Raptor?
The AWE 3025-33306 integrates with the factory OEM tier-1 valve motor already installed on the Ranger Raptor. No external controller is needed. The factory button on the dash and factory throttle-input valve control operate the SwitchPath valve exactly as designed by Ford. AWE also includes a valve motor simulator bracket to prevent ECU valve-fault codes.
Will the AWE 3025-33306 trigger a check engine light?
No. AWE guarantees the 3025-33306 will not cause a check engine light on the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor when installed correctly. The included valve motor simulator bracket keeps the ECU from detecting any valve-related fault.
Is the AWE 3025-33306 50-state legal?
Yes. The AWE 3025-33306 is 50-state emissions legal and does not require a CARB exemption number for use on the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor in California or any other state.
How is the AWE 3025-33306 installed? Does it require cutting or welding?
No. The 3025-33306 is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory exhaust behind the catalytic converter. Installation uses factory mounting locations and includes all hardware. No cutting, welding, or custom fabrication is required. AWE estimates installation time at approximately 60 to 90 minutes with basic hand tools and a lift or jack stands.
What tip finish options are available for this exhaust?
AWE offers the Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L SwitchPath cat-back in two tip finishes: diamond black (part number 3025-33306) and chrome silver (part number 3025-32306). Both systems are otherwise identical in construction and performance. Only the tip finish differs.
What is the warranty on the AWE 3025-33306?
AWE covers the 3025-33306 with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. Warranty claims are handled directly through AWE Tuning.
Does the AWE 3025-33306 change exhaust sound at idle?
With the SwitchPath valve closed, the 3025-33306 is subtle at idle and refined at highway speeds. With the valve open, the Ranger Raptor's 3.0L produces a significantly deeper, more aggressive exhaust note at all RPMs. The valve can be toggled at any time using the factory button or through throttle input.
Installation Instructions
- Raise and safely support the vehicle on a lift or jack stands with the engine fully cooled before beginning
- Disconnect the factory exhaust valve actuator harness and set aside. Install the AWE valve motor simulator bracket in its place to prevent ECU valve fault codes
- Loosen and remove all factory exhaust hangers behind the catalytic converter outlet flange, working from rear to front
- Remove the factory cat-back exhaust system and set aside
- Dry-fit the AWE 3025-33306 sections to confirm routing and hanger alignment before final assembly
- Attach the AWE exhaust sections starting at the front flange, working rearward. Torque the front flange bolts to the specification in the AWE instruction sheet
- Hang all AWE-supplied exhaust hangers and confirm the system is evenly supported with no contact to the underbody or fuel/brake lines
- Slide the locking collars over the tip connections and tighten to lock the 5-inch tips in the desired rotational position
- Reconnect the factory OEM valve motor harness to the AWE SwitchPath muffler valve actuator
- Lower the vehicle, start the engine, and verify valve operation using the factory dash button. Test both valve positions at idle and during a short test drive
