{"product_id":"awe-cat-back-performance-2","title":"AWE Tuning 3015-32038 - AWE Performance Exhaust for VW MK5 GTI, Chrome Tips","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur exhausts have earned praise from owners and the press alike, due to their unique \"Jekyll and Hyde\" personality. We spend considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and cruising at part throttle, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once. We spent considerable time examining how to maximize the performance and options of this exhaust system. The exhaust features thick .065\" wall T304L stainless steel tubing, double-walled exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration, and perfect fitment, right to the OE downpipe (or any downpipe made to mate to the factory exhaust). The Cat Back system is topped off with our signature 3.15\" beveled exhaust tips, in Chrome Silver. The tips sport stamped AWE logos and are double-walled to ensure a mirror polish even under hard usage. The system has multiple slip joints with high-quality stainless band clamps, to allow optimal adjustment.Why did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our MK5 exhaust? Our first prototypes of this system were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque with very little offsetting gain up top. Take a look at our 3.0 inch prototype dyno sheets here and see why a 3.0 inch system is not appropriate for this car.When upgrading your MK5, go with the team that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully mandrel bent tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick .065\" wall T304L stainless steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel internal muffler and resonator construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel T-bolt clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-walled exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-house dyno-developed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo CEL Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Fitment - Guaranteed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180 Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamps Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performance Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Guarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e T304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuffler Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo CEL Guarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cat Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Qty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubing Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTune Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValves:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoluntary Label:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 State Legal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime on exhaust, 1 year on tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45357146374279,"sku":"AWE3015-32038","price":1515.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/4008\/1543\/files\/af509a92e895c794513f0aa10605b774.jpg?v=1788265211","url":"https:\/\/checkout.northernperformance.ca\/products\/awe-cat-back-performance-2","provider":"Northern Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
