SwitchPath™ Technology
The SwitchPath™ Exhaust system is engineered to produce an epic sound whether the valves are closed or open. This true catback configuration features a mix of 3-inch and 2.5-inch T304L stainless steel, complemented by a precision X-pipe and a valved muffler tuned specifically for the S55.
-
Closed Valve Experience: With the valves closed, experience a refined, aggressive tone that remains full-bodied and powerful without any metallic sounds. At cruising speeds, the interior acoustics are close to stock, providing comfort without sacrificing performance.
-
Open Valve Experience: When the valves are opened, the S55’s roar is unleashed. In Sport and Sport+ modes, enjoy a powerful, clean exhaust note with the added excitement of burbles and pops, all while keeping rasp in check thanks to the precision X-pipe.
Track Edition
The Track Edition offers all the performance of the SwitchPath™ version, without the valved muffler. This means a constant "valve open" mode that provides rich and rowdy tones at all times, delivering a hefty 22.5 lbs weight savings. The Track Edition is also 50-state legal and includes AWE valve simulators to maintain compatibility with factory exhaust valve motors.
Note: The Track Edition is known for its aggressive sound profile, which may be too much for some drivers. This version cannot be returned based on sound preference, so prepare for a thrilling experience, especially in Sport+ mode!
