The AWE Tuning 3020-32275 Track Edition Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI delivers the most unleashed sound profile AWE makes for the Mk7.5 platform. With a straight-through design that omits the Touring Edition's drone-canceling resonators, 3020-32275 lets the GLI's 2.0T speak freely under throttle, backed by dyno-proven gains of up to +4 HP and +8 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, an 18 lb weight reduction over the factory exhaust, and AWE's Lifetime Exhaust Warranty with No CEL Guarantee.

What's Included
- 1x AWE 3020-32275 Track Edition cat-back exhaust system (complete)
- 2x 5" double-walled slash-cut chrome silver tips (AWE logo stamped, individually adjustable)
- Slip-fit inlet adapter for factory downpipe fitment

Track Edition Sound Profile
The AWE 3020-32275 Track Edition uses a straight-through, less-is-more design that removes the drone-canceling resonators found in the Touring Edition. The result is a more aggressive, rawer exhaust note that opens up across the RPM range and becomes especially pronounced in mid-range acceleration. AWE is direct in their guidance: the Track Edition is loud and assertive, and if cabin noise is a concern, the Touring Edition is the better fit. If you want the full voice of the GLI's 2.0T without filters, 3020-32275 is the right choice.

Construction and Build Quality
AWE builds 3020-32275 in-house at their facility in Horsham, Pennsylvania, using American-sourced T304L stainless steel tubing at 0.065" wall thickness with CNC mandrel bending and TIG welding throughout. The system uses a slip-fit inlet adapter that mates cleanly to the factory Jetta GLI downpipe while also accommodating aftermarket 3" downpipes for a full 3" connection if upgraded. The 5" double-walled chrome silver tips are individually adjustable to allow precise positioning in the rear bumper. AWE's No CEL Guarantee means the system is tuned not to trigger fault codes on the 2022-2025 GLI.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does AWE 3020-32275 fit?
AWE 3020-32275 fits the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI in all trim levels on the Mk7.5 platform, equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
What is the difference between the Track Edition and Touring Edition for the Jetta GLI?
The 3020-32275 Track Edition uses a straight-through design without drone-canceling resonators, producing a louder, more aggressive tone across all RPM ranges. The Touring Edition uses AWE's patented 180 Technology resonators to eliminate highway drone while still adding performance. If cabin noise is a concern, the Touring Edition is the better choice. If maximum sound is the goal, the Track Edition is the right pick.
Will 3020-32275 drone at highway speed?
The Track Edition does not include AWE's drone-canceling 180 Technology, so it will be louder and more present at all speeds than the Touring Edition. AWE notes this directly: the Track Edition is assertive under all conditions and may be too much for some owners. Consider this before purchasing.
How much power does AWE 3020-32275 add?
AWE 3020-32275 is dyno-proven to add up to +4 HP and +8 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on the 2022-2025 Jetta GLI 2.0T.
Does 3020-32275 work with an aftermarket downpipe?
Yes. 3020-32275 uses a slip-fit inlet adapter that accommodates the factory GLI downpipe out of the box. If you upgrade to an aftermarket 3" downpipe, the slip-fit adapter also facilitates a full 3" connection for maximum flow.
Does AWE 3020-32275 require tuning after installation?
No. 3020-32275 is a direct bolt-on cat-back exhaust that does not require a tune. AWE guarantees no Check Engine Light when installed correctly on the compatible Jetta GLI models.
