tuation motors, at arrows in Figure 1.

If you intend to install an AWE Tuning Performance Downpipe or

Use the supplied M6 hardware to secure the passenger and

driver side tailpipe tabs, at arrow in Figure 4. Do not tighten at

this time.

Install all the tips using the supplied 2.62" t-bolt clamps and ad-

just depth and rotation to suit. Do not tighten at this time.

Start at the front and begin fully tightening the accu-seal

clamps. Work toward the rear ensuring the tips are aligned and

adjust as needed

Once all clamps are fully tightened and tips look correct, tighten

the M6 bolts on the outlet tab, at arrow in Figure 4. Figure 4

Step 4

For SwitchPath™ Exhaust installs, swap the factory valve

actuator motors from the factory exhaust onto the mounting

brackets on AWE Tuning tailpipes. Secure using the factory

hardware, as shown in Figure 3.

For both SwitchPath™ and Track Edition Exhausts, install in-

board tailpipes into muf?er outlets and secure with the supplied

63.5mm accu-seal clamps. Then install the outer tailpipes into

muf?er outlets and secure with the supplied 63.5mm accu-seal

clamps. Do not tighten clamps at this time. Figure 3

Step 3

Step 5

Once the exhaust system is properly adjusted, install a hanger

post clamp on each of the rear muf?er hanger posts, as shown

at arrow in Figure 5. Slide the clamp onto the hanger post so

that it sits snug against the rubber element, and then tighten

down with the enclosed allen wrench.

These clamps will keep the exhaust from sliding laterally under

usage and will keep the tips properly aligned in the valance

openings.

Finally, on SwitchPath™ Exhausts, reconnect the valve motor

wiring harness to each valve.

On Track Edition Exhaust, install supplied block offs into the

wiring harness connectors to protect them.
