Product Details
Description
AWE tuning’s track edition Catback exhaust for the 12-18 Jetta GLI, and 14-18 Jetta 1.8T is engineered to produce a more aggressive and deeper tone.
AWE Tuning spent considerable time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when idling and cruising at part throttle, while also producing a war-cry wail when full throttle is applied. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at once.
The lesser restrictive 2.5" T304 stainless steel design adds about 21 HP at 5300 RPM. Enjoy a true racing experience with this cat-back exhaust system.

Track Edition
Similarly, The Mk6 Jetta GLI Track Edition Exhaust replaces the factory exhaust and includes a straight through resonator, but to allow a more aggressive exhaust tone, the Track Edition does not include the rear resonator.
Why did we choose 2.5 inch and not 3.0 inch diameter for our MK6 exhaust?
Our first 2.0T exhaust prototypes were indeed 3.0 inch, but we found that the effort it took to move the large mass of air in the 3.0 inch system at lower rpms resulted in a loss of torque with very little offsetting gain up top.
Please note that due to the use of high flow catalytic converters, our downpipe section is legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.

Perfect daily driver
Perfect exhaust for your Jetta. I daily drive my 2017 gli and it sounds awesome. In high rpms it does the loved “dsg fart” when up shifting and down shifting rewards you with some burbles and pops. Not crazy loud but 100% makes you heard. Easy install and no drone. Great bang for your buck.

Awesome!
The videos on youtube don't do it justice. I was a bit skeptical about the Track exhaust because I didn't want anything obnoxious. This delivered EXACTLY what I wanted. It has a nice deep tone while idling and provides the right amount of head turn upon acceleration! Definitely worth the money. Install took about an hour, including removal of old exhaust. I have mine with the stock downpipe still. Also so have a CTS CAI and a diverter valve spacer for spooly noises. So that coupled with this exhaust are a REALLY nice combo. You won't be disappointed!

MK6 GLI
This exhaust met all of my expectations & then some. I was a bit skeptical with choosing this after reading forums with comparisons of the touring & track editions. It’s not obnoxious at all, & sounds great!

Great exhaust!
I recently purchased this for my 2014 Jetta se, and it has been amazing. Installation was very simple and only took about an hour and a half! Not only does it look and sound amazing, but you can really feel the increase in acceleration and power delivery over the stock exhaust. Took about 100+ miles to really settle into the sound. It should be noted my engine has a stage 2 APR tune w/ down-pipe so that plays a part, but at lower RPMs it sounds deep and bellows - anything over 2200 and it sounds incredibly aggressive and throaty, especially for a 1.8 L engine. Very happy with my purchase!
-
Solid performance
Definitely has a good note to it, I haven't had any complaints yet. Install was pretty simple as well.

Awe Tuning Track Edition Cat-back exhaust for 16 jetta GLI
The exhaust sounds great, not nearly as loud as I thought it would be but definately looks better and added some power. I am also running a cts turbo downpipe with the high flow cat, which defiantly allows you to hear the turbo more. You definately hear the exhaust more in the lower rpm range! Overall im very satisfied with this exhaust, if you want great looking exhaust that adds decent power without being overly obnoxious, this is the way to go.

..just wow!
I just installed the track edition exhaust on my 2017 Jetta SEL. Unbelievable sound...perfect blend of low growl and no obnoxiousness! I would suggest this addition to any Jetta owner looking for that perfect sound! Thank you ModdedEuros!

For crisp clean sounding exhuast
If your lookin to open up you VW this is the exhaust you want! Very crisp and clean sound doesnt raddle or have that raspy sound to it no matter what rpm your at. But with that said when your driving normal its got a good tone to it its heard but not drawing unwanted attention. But when you open it up and want to be heard the sound is for sure there and everyone around loves it get compliments all the time. Worth every penny dont go buy a flowmaster or brand of that nature they arnt made for cars like these. This is the one you want for sure i paired the exhaust with a 3 inch catless downpipe sounds great! No regrets at all. If you buy it enjoy!

Awe tuning track edition exhaust on a 2012 gli
After ordering this exhaust from modded euros I was happy that they shipped it out quickly since, it came the next day. After installing it only took and hour an half of labor. Comparing this exhaust on video and in person it sounds way better in person. The sound is suttle and honestly not to loud at all. It is just right. It also does have a nice rumble to it and there isn’t no exhaust drone at all I only have driven ten miles and can’t stop smiling. Awe tuning is awesome and worth every penny and the power gains are way better with a tuned.

Great exhaust
This sounds much better in person. On my jetta 1.8t sport and sounds amazing.
-
Awesome sounding exhaust, not too loud but definitely not too quiet. The tips are beautifully polished and the quality of the piping is great. I think this exhaust sounds the best by far for the Gli, complete satisfaction.

Very Good Exhaust
Install wasn't too hard: completed in 3 hrs on the floor. Not too loud at idle and low rpms. Nice deep tone: sounds great windows up or windows down and no noticeable drone. Loud enough to put a smile on your face, but quiet enough to not wake the neighbors. (stock downpipe)
