Important Exhaust Notes
This AWE SwitchPath page is built for C8 Corvette Z06 owners who want a valved cat-back exhaust that works with the car’s factory onboard mode controls. Unlike the C8 Stingray and E-Ray AWE systems, the Z06 application uses SwitchPath valve control instead of Touring or Track Edition logic.
AWE lists this system as a direct bolt-on cat-back with no cutting required, no tune required, no valve relearn required, and no effect on factory emissions equipment. The main ordering decision is tip finish: chrome silver or diamond black.
