Installing AWE SwitchPath Exhaust on my Wife’s New Audi S3!

- Today is the day! Adding an upgraded exhaust to any sporty car is the best way to make it sound awesome! So that's what I did to my Wife's Audi S3! I made my wife's Audi S3 sound awesome by installing the AWE SwithPath catback exhaust! The S3 is a sporty car but just doesn't have too much exhaust sound. From factory there is an active valve that doesn't really make much of a difference. This new AWE SwitchPath exhaust sounds so good with no drove! I love just deep the growl is from the 4 cylinder turbo engine. It doesn't sound like a 4 banger anymore! Sounds crisp and muscular. Installing the AWE exhaust on the S3 was super simple. Only took a few minutes to remove the factory exhaust from the S3 and then putting together the new AWE exhaust was straight forward. Everything lined up well and it was super easy to adjust the exhaust tips for the perfect fitment! I love the black tips I went with on the S3 and they fill out the bumper well. Driving the S3 in comfort mode the valve stays closed to utilize the resonator muffler and keep the exhaust level very low and comfortable. Once hard on the gas in dynamic mode the valve is open and the turbo engine rips! I love the new sound and the cracks between shifts are so nice! Also did launch control in the S3 for the first time and this thing moves! Such a fun car and the AWE exhaust was the perfect upgrade for the exhaust modification!

So good to not hear a car ruined by a "pops n bangs" exhaust
Yeah I never did any tuning or gurgles for this car. It already makes the little pops between shifts. Great sounding car the way it is!
S3 would be a nice edition to add to my collection one day as well. Keep up the good work and nice review!
Great daily for sure!
And thanks!
Love the S3! Love the color and your wife has great taste in cars
Thanks! We love the color so much!
can always use obdeleven to keep the valves open all the time, because they don’t open till after 3000rpm even in Dynamic.
I have a vid coming on all that 😅
NEVER get under the car while its only on the jack. Support the side you go under with pieces of hard wood or something else that wont get crushed under the weight.
That’s why I had jack stands under the car and blocks, those are all clearly shown.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Sorry didn't saw those at first. Safety first bro :)
@@sasagrcevic475 I agree! Always need to be safe! We are always double checking!
Think she'll ever want to upgrade to the rs3 for the 5 cylinder?
czcams.com/video/EbKNSZO_rF8/video.html
That’s why we bought this 😅
We’re waiting for our RS3 💪🏼
i love the switchpath on my 2018 S3. although mine is the older one which has a larger muffler than the newer ones which have a mini muffler.
Oh nice! Great sounding system for sure! I bet they sound similar. Maybe just new muffler tech to make it weigh less.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed BRO... no shit right.. that thing weighs double what the stock catback weighs.. hurts performance.
Oh wow! This new one we got is much lighter for sure!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed do you have the one with the square-ish muffler only on one side? mine is a full muffler. yours prob weighs 1/3 less than mine, maybe about equal to stock weight.
ive always thought that half - muffler thing would be too loud for me, cuz i feel mine is perfect.
sounds great!
Thanks! Love the new setup! Todays video is my full review of it!
czcams.com/video/N_4uYP87U7k/video.html
Nice sound
Thanks!
I like how the car's exhaust makes a notable popping noise when you shift gears with the paddles.
Yeah it’s a pretty sweet sound! Really impressed with it
That’s the DSG transmission
@@NOCallerID00 yup ;)
Do you ship any exhaust systems out to CA? I thought maybe exhaust mods were illegal over here now.
Yes this one is available to be shipped to CA from what I know!
Cool! it sounds just like my 2015 S3 (stock), those years were the best!
Sounds amazing with the AWE kit! So much better then stock ;)
no, it sounds like your 2015 S3 because it had a factory resonator delete, there is absolutely no difference between your 2015 S3 and other years 8V S3's except the 2018+ has the better 7 speed DQ 381 dual clutch tranny.
@@volkssturm9694 yeah I found out mine is not stock, and it has the resonator delete. I was always suspicious because it sounded too good
@@volkssturm9694 Um it actually doesn't have a better gearbox thank you lmao, only difference is shorter ratios, the shifting speed and is the same but the 6 speed is stronger, hence why more people go for the pfl S3..
@@bslothed3211 you’re completely wrong and misinformed.
The 7 speed DQ381 is absolutely stronger than the older DQ250 6 speed .
It’s common knowledge lol
Look it up yourself -
Dq381 can handle 30 ft/lbs more torque over the dq250
Plus the dq381 is much more refined
And efficient than the dq250.
You might want to be honest or least try to be next time . Now keep Coping with your retort 😅
Beautiful
Thanks!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed welcome ❤️
Is this fully stock ? Great vid
I have an intake on it, and then just this exhaust. Glad you liked it!
Can I put this exhaust on my 2016 S3 ?
Absolutely. This is our 2016 S3. Let us know we can get your order in ASAP! brosfourrspeed.com/parts-%26-merchandise/ols/products/awe-cat-back-exhaust-system-8v-sedan
Hi nice video!, is has stock DP or an aftermarket one?
Stock downpipe. Intake is the only other performance mod so far
Would that work with a 2022 Sonata N-Line >
Not this exact product. But you can see if AWE offers parts for your car
Will this box fit in the car ?
I'm not sure. Maybe if you put the seats down and slide it through the doors. But worst case if you need to transport it in the car just unbox it and it'll all fit
I had an S3 8V myself and in my honest opinion the MQB cars have some of the worst sounding motors. Probably due to the fact that the exhaust manifold is built into the head for these engines. I had a catless dp with a res delete at first. Then went full exhaust. After that it was decent at best. Was a fun car though.
Stock it’s nothing special. Now it’s a really proper sound. Certainly fun cars!
Meh honestly I like the Grunty sound it makes for being just a 4 banger certainly sounds better than the honda type r imo
totally subjective, the S3's beefed up 2.0T with the right exhaust set up to many actually sounds really good for a 4 banger turbo. I personally love how my S3 sounds with intake and factory resonator delete, nice and deep, throaty .
Hey I like your video i have a s3 2016 with stage 2 ..what is the price for the awe catback exhaust..and shipping to Canada 🇨🇦
Unfortunately AWE doesn't ship to Canada. US only. If you have a US place we can ship one to you. But nothing out of country
does it throw any CEL?
Nope! Just a normal cat back system. There won’t be any issues with it.
I LOVE it :)
Heck yeah!
How much further can these tips stick out compared to stock exhaust? I have a 2020 s3 with a carbon diffuser and the stock exhaust looks goofy.. really interested in this exhaust setup
The way I have it setup, I could pull the tips about another inch out. So I think you'll be good! Just let us know if you want to make an order! These are made to order, so the sooner you get it in, the sooner they can build it! We are loving it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Does the track exhaust come with the valve simulators or do you need to purchase those separately?
@@1ViewerAndy_eth They should both come with it. I could double check with awe if you ordered one from us to make sure you have them.
I love Audi's their design is just 👌. Mercs look the same, BMW has that lung grill😂 which I'm getting used to. But what I absolutely hate in Audi is the softlimiter. It doesn't let you rev past 3000rpm & sound so bad. An exhaust upgrade is definitely worth it. Also when you are tuning the car make sure you get rid of that softlimiter.
Anyways great video as always. Lauren has a great car to rip around now😂
Good to know! I'm sure the tuning will bump all that up for sure!
I have a s3 but I live in Canada what is a good website to order parts off of?
You can check out our website!! brosfourrspeed.com/parts-%26-merchandise/ols/categories/audi-s3-parts
an S3 and a GTR. Damn.
Just sold the GTR lol. Was a great car the last 5 years tho!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed replacement thoughts?
@@NovaRoma3981 Looking for a Gallardo now. And we have a new RS3 coming in a month or two replacing the S3
Does your coupon code work when purchasing an AWE Exhaust from your site?
We don't have any coupon codes for this at the moment. That would just depends if AWE does any sale. However we have AWE parts in stock ready to go!
What tyres do you use in this car?
czcams.com/video/cBQx8aTxIqc/video.html
Heres the wheels and tires we have on the S3
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh, thanks mate!
You have downpipe stock ?
Yeah that is stock. Air intake was the only other part on the car. Kit sounds so good!
Once you get a down pipe on that car will sound like shit. Been there done that.
shit exhaust but if you get the V1 switch path it’s WAY better and no rasp on v1 AWE just cheaped out even though It’s a 2k exhaust
Idk, sounds great now. When I do a downpipe we’ll see. Can always try for a resonated downpipe to tone it down if needed
Is this the 90mm tip or 102mm?
102mm ;)
4in tips
Don't drive with the panoramic roof cover open! The cover can get loose and it's an expensive repair
That makes no sense. You are able to drive with the cover open and nothing should happen to it! Is that what happened in yours? I’ve had many vehicles with a sunroof and you are able to have it open or closed just fine.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Mine is still fine luckily, but saw some cars woth the cover hanging loose. It's a cheap cloth/plasticy cover so with hard winds it can stretch or something
@@MauriceNL1 yeah I can see it flapping in the breeze quite a bit. Mines still nice and tight tho. But it’s such a cool feature to have the glass open and sunshade closed 😅
I want a S3 🤦
Get one! Fun little cars for sure! Golf R gives you a similar car tho too
@@BrosFOURRSpeed true I'll look into both
@@Talkwithmeche very well rounded cars
Me 3 me want one too
an
is this a 22 or 23?
It’s a 2016 Audi!
would the still work on a 8v a3
What exact year is your car? If it's the 2.0, it could fit. But the tips might be different and not fit your bumper
How did you like the stock wheels gloss
Black?
Stock wheels looked good for sure. Part of the black optics package. Really like my new wheels on it tho
@@BrosFOURRSpeed you had the stocks gloss back right?
If I put this on and bring it in for work on warranty, would they have a issue ?
You shouldn't have any issues. A dealer would have to prove this product caused an issue with the car. No possible way a catback exhaust can cause an issue. If you replaced the downpipe, since that takes away emissions items, you could run into issues. But not with a catback like this
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks bro
@@_NB233 no problem!
What year is you audi .?
2016
What year is this S3 2016?
Yup! Fun car and sounds so good now!
idk I didn't like the fart sounding thing it does I'd rather have it burble but a tune would help
Yeah I can do a tune and get the burbles. Not sure if they can tune of the shifting farts or not tho. I like them
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! It’s coming together!
Sir it’s not a little sound it’s a dsg fart
It sounds great to me! I love it.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I’m talking about the sound it makes when it shifts we call it a dsg fart
