C8 Corvette Z06 AWE SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust with Diamond Black Tips (2023–2026)
The AWE SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust with Diamond Black Tips, part number 3025-43906, is a direct-fit valved exhaust upgrade for 2023–2026 C8 Corvette Z06 models with the LT6 5.5L flat-plane-crank V8. Built from 3-inch T304L stainless steel, this SwitchPath system retains factory onboard mode control and requires no tune or valve relearn after installation.
For Z06 owners who want a stronger LT6 exhaust note and a darker rear appearance, this system pairs AWE’s valved SwitchPath design with quad 4.5-inch diamond black tips. The double-walled, slash-cut tips finish the center-exit exhaust while factory mode controls let you adjust its sound from inside the car.
