The SwitchPath valved solution is for those who want complete control of their S5 Sportback's volume and tone, at their fingertips.

The SwitchPath Exhaust comes complete with non-resonated downpipes, a precision-engineered x-pipe, Sportback-specific mid merge, and two valved muffler sections which can be controlled via the SwitchPath Remote.

Sneaking out in the morning? Keep the valve closed.

Ready to rumble? Open the valve and let them know you're coming.

Note: we highly recommend and encourage pairing the SwitchPath Exhaust with the SwitchPath Remote versus using the factory operation for the best SwitchPath experience.

The Sportback introduced new in-cabin accoustic behavior and undercar packaging that wasn't found on the other members of the B9 trio. In order to produce a signature AWE tone out of the 3.0T-powered S5 Sportback while engineering around the unique undercarriage, the mid merge was born. Deployment of the mid merge allows the Sportback configurations to exist without any of resonators, thus ensuring the full, sophisticated howl of the 3.0T engine will never change over time.
