Go for SwitchPath™:
Two tones, one tailored package with full control. SwitchPath™ retains all of the customization of the factory active exhaust while giving your 5.0L the means to sound the way it should–deep and rich without congestion.

Full 3” & modular:
Each catback option features a full 3” design with modular, slip fit inlet adapters for perfect fitment with the factory headers while facilitating a dual 3” connection for drivers looking to get spicier up stream.

SwitchPath™ features tier 1 OEM-supplied valves that retain full factory functionality and behavior. Drive modes, customized settings, and programmable buttons–they’ll obey your commands.

Hearty with an H:
And so damn deep. Thanks to the precision H-pipe, your 5.0L V8 will produce a deep, rich muscle tone with minimal rasp (unlike an X-pipe).

Bullets in the middle:
SwitchPath™ features straight-through bullet-style resonators in the mid pipes to further defeat rasp, especially helpful when upgraded headers are introduced into the exhaust stream.

Power to the pavement:
Dyno-verified gains of +13 hp and +5 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on an otherwise stock vehicle.

Those tips look amazing
You really can't go wrong with quad 5” double-walled tips, in AWE’s Chrome Silver or Diamond Black. Personally, I think this application demands the chrome option.

Just look at this again😎👉

Videos I’ve seen is only quiet and track? Or is there’s also a normal and sport mode for the catbacks?
Yessir. Our exhaust system works seamlessly off of your factory valve functionality so all modes are retained. 😎

Really nice.

I am assuming these would fit no issue on an 18+ S550?

Snooty! We have a separate SwitchPath Edition for the for the 2018+ Ford S550 Mustang GT. You can find that exhaust right this way..

The exhaust shown in this thread is engineered specifically for the Mach 1 platform.

I’m trying to catch what it sounds like at idle - any more clips available of it at idle for cold start and then once warmed up? Both in quiet mode and then normal, sport and track after warmed up - just idling.

Would be awesome to get cuts before and after for stock vs this option if anyone has that capability, so we can account for different mic sounds on phones and recording equipment.

Looking for deeper tone, not louder just deeper American muscle rumble (and not rasp). Hoping this might help the one - but the stock option from the factory is great with these Mach 1s, so I want to be sure it’s actually deeper and not just louder (and certainly not raspier).

The H-pipe and the bullet resonators are going to be working hand-in-hand with the .065 wall T304L stainless to achieve a deep, refined note.

Check out our YouTube for some videos here

Thanks! Have watched all the videos on your YouTube and everything I can find that anyone has posted anywhere. Have listened to hours of exhaust clips - probably like many of the community here 😂

I’m able to find what I’m looking for, for other systems (Borla, Corsa, etc), but unfortunately no luck finding it so far for the AWE option.

it seems like most clips with the AWE are mocked up with lots of marketing audio/sound effects/cuts.

I’d love (and I think this is true for many exhaust seekers) a pure reel of before and after, cold start, warm start, idle, etc. clips.

Just to make sure, you have seen this video starting at 1:38 mark? We post fair and unedited sound clips for our product releases. This includes many of the use cases for a weekender or daily driver experience.
