AWE Tuning 20-25 BMW X3 M/M Comp (F97) AWD SwitchPath Axle-back Exhaust - Diamond Black Tips

SWITCHPATH AXLEBACK:

Alright, let’s talk about the AWE SwitchPath Axleback for the BMW X3/X4 M. If you’re like me and appreciate a good exhaust note without the annoying drone, this is where it’s at. This system is designed to give you that aggressive sound when you want it, but it won’t ruin your daily drive with constant noise. With AWE’s patented 180 Technology, you get a deep, clean tone while cruising, and when you hit the gas, it roars to life. It’s a perfect balance of sophistication and attitude.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This axleback is made from 3-inch T304L stainless steel, which means it’s built to last. You won’t have to worry about rust or corrosion here. Plus, it features a valved SwitchPath muffler that keeps the factory valve behavior intact—no need for any extra harnesses or complicated setups. Just bolt it on and go. It’s designed to start right at the factory cut point, so it’s compatible with your stock mid-section or any aftermarket mid-pipe that respects that cut point. It clears up to 35s on a 2024 Tundra with just a bit of trimming, so you know it’s engineered for performance.

What’s more, this system isn’t just about sound. You’re looking at max gains of 9 horsepower and 2 lb-ft of torque at the wheels when paired with the right mid-pipes. And yes, it’s 50-state emissions-compliant, so you can drive with peace of mind. The straight-through design maximizes flow, giving you the performance boost you’re after. Plus, it’s handcrafted in-house at AWE, so you know it’s made with care.

Here are some quick highlights:

• Drone-canceling 180 Technology for a clean sound
• Retains factory valve behavior—no extensions needed
• Compatible with factory or aftermarket mid-pipes
• Quad 4.5" double-walled slash-cut tips available in chrome silver or diamond black
