FAQ

What is the 3020-32658?

It is the track edition cat-back exhaust described by the fitment, configuration, and package details on this page.

Is this the Touring Edition?

No. This is the louder Track Edition and it does not use AWE's drone-canceling 180 Technology resonator.

What tip finish is included?

This configuration includes two five-inch chrome silver double-walled slash-cut tips.

Does it connect to the factory downpipe?

Yes. AWE supplies a slip-fit inlet adapter for the factory downpipe connection.

Will it fit a Golf R?

No. This exact configuration is listed for the MK8 Volkswagen GTI applications shown in the fitment table.

Can the tip depth be adjusted?

Yes. Each outlet is independently adjustable so tip depth can be aligned at the rear valance.

Does the system require tuning?

AWE markets the system as a direct bolt-on exhaust with a No Check Engine Light Guarantee when installed and used as intended.

Is this system quiet on the highway?

Track Edition is AWE's aggressive option and may produce more cabin sound than Touring Edition, including during highway use.

Installation Instructions

  1. Confirm the package label shows 3020-32658 and the vehicle and existing exhaust configuration match the fitment table.
  2. Read the current AWE installation guide and allow the factory exhaust to cool completely.
  3. Raise and support the vehicle at approved lifting points.
  4. Remove the factory cat-back while preserving reusable hangers and connection hardware.
  5. Assemble the AWE sections loosely from the inlet adapter rearward.
  6. Align the pipes, hangers, and tips with adequate body and suspension clearance.
  7. Tighten every clamp in sequence, start the engine, and inspect for leaks or contact.
  8. Recheck clamp torque and tip alignment after the first heat cycle.
