AWE SwitchPath Catback Exhaust for 2023–2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06

AWE SwitchPath Catback Exhaust for 2023–2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06

Flat-plane and furious. The AWE SwitchPath™ Catback Exhaust was engineered specifically for the high-revving LT6 flat-plane crank engine found in the C8 Z06. This system delivers AWE’s signature exotic tone with aggressive performance while maintaining full compatibility with factory drive modes and valve control.

Featuring a precision-engineered X-pipe design and straight-through mufflers, the SwitchPath system produces a rich, high-pitch exhaust note that complements the character of the Z06 whether the valves are open or closed.
