MK7.5 Golf R AWE SwitchPath Catback Exhaust | On EQT Stage 1 Tune Golf R

In this episode of JNB Tuning, the team takes the Volkswagen Golf R to the next level by upgrading its exhaust system. The stock exhaust, paired with a resonator delete, has been decent, but now that the car is tuned to Stage 1 with EQT, it's time to amplify that sound. The focus is on installing the AWE SwitchPath cutback system—known for its superior performance and sound. The video walks viewers through the entire process, from lifting the car to removing the old exhaust system. The installation of the new exhaust is straightforward, with a step-by-step guide on using the necessary tools and applying anti-seize to prevent rust. After a few adjustments, the team ensures the exhaust tips are aligned perfectly before tightening everything and torquing the bolts to 60-foot-pounds. Finally, the much-anticipated moment arrives: the cold start test. The AWE exhaust delivers an impressive sound, giving the Golf R a bold, aggressive tone, making the upgrade totally worth it. Watch until the end for a full demonstration of the exhaust's new sound, along with a few fun moments along the way!
