AWE Tuning MK7 GTI Exhaust Options

Producing an exhaust system for Volkswagen's 7th generation GTI was no easy feat. Luckily AWE already has four generations of GTI under our belts.

With options to go around, this is AWE Tuning's finest GTI exhaust to date. What may look like a simple design is actually one of their most comprehensive engineering feats to date. The exhaust is three simple parts, making it one of the easiest systems to install. The reconfiguration of the flex pipe on the Performance Downpipe ensures that stress goes where it should. And no spacers. And no exhaust paste needed. The list goes on. These exhaust offerings are something special. Details 

APR Solid Shifter Cable Bracket
Through countless years of professional racing, APR Motorsport identified the factory shifter cable bracket system as a source of sloppy shifts, missed gears, bracket and bushing failure and even transmission failure. The factory shifter cable bracket is made from plastic with rubber bushings. Over time the bushings wear out, and during long races, heat can cause the bracket to flex and break. To alleviate all issues related with the factory design and not just some, APR's Mechanical Engineers created the ultimate and final upgrade:
The APR Solid Shifter Cable Bracket. Details

Quicksilver 2014+ Range Rover Sport V6 Sports Exhaust

QuickSilver can supply a 'Sport' exhaust system for your Range Rover. 

The result is a lighter weight system that has more efficient flow and shows a noticeable improvement in throttle response whilst giving the Range Rover's engine a growl throughout the rev range. The system is designed to work with the engine, so at lower revs the sound remains civilised and at higher revs it provides more presence and volume. Within the cabin area with the double glazed windows up the sound is not at all intrusive. Details 

McLaren MP4-12C Girodisc Rotors 
The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers perfectly with no modifications necessary. By upgrading your brakes with lightweight high performance replacements as opposed to a big brake kit, your factory bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency.

Audi S4 
This 2015 Sepang Blue S4 came to us shortly after delivery.  Immediatly we put on the Bilstein suspension and SPC control arms.  Under the hood we did a RocEuro intake and Eurocode BoostTap for the supercharger.  Poking out the back are optional blue tips from the wicked loud Armytrix exhaust.  Inside we did a P3 gauge, and last but not least, a set of Avant Garde wheels.  A unique color combination throughout. Details
BMW M5
The 2013 M5 is an outstanding sports sedan for BMW but we couldn't leave a good thing alone. We first set off to find an amazing set of wheels. Going with HRE S101 wheels & Michelin Pilot Sport tires, things started looking up. To bring the car back to earth a set of H&R springs were installed for a moderate drop right above the tires.  Finally, to get the "un-leaded" out we installed a full Eisenmann Exhaust and AMS Downpipes that sounds absolutely incredible. Jaw dropper 101. Details
Mercedes CL63 AMG
The CL63 AMG is capable of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds from the factory.  With 518 horsepower, there is plenty of power to keep a smile on your face. Since this car goes through Mercedes Benz's AMG tuning shop, it comes with goodies like a burly dual exhaust and full on body kit.  Everyone knows how important wheels are. So we put on a set of ADV 10 wheels with hidden hardware, wrapped in Michelin pilot super sport tires. Details
Porsche Turbo S

We took this brand new 991 Turbo straight from the dealership and our client had us install a set of 21" HRE P101 Monoblock wheels in a gorgeous satin charcoal and matched them with a set of Pirelli PZero tires, a tire developed for performance sports cars and high performance luxury sedans. Once the wheels were installed, we hardwired a V1 radar and set off for a photoshoot to do this car justice. Details 

Range Rover Evoque
This Range Rover Evoque was shipped to GMP for some serious upgrades. Looking to Hamann for the style revamp, we installed a complete Hamann Widebody Kit, along with a set of 22" Hamann Anniversary EVO Wheels. Not content to do this big of a visual upgrade and leave performance to fend for itself, we added an ETG Performance software upgrade to give this Evoque some extra power. Details
Volkswagen GTI
When this GTI came to us, it was looking for a little bit of help in each department; A little show, a little go, a little comfort, and a little growl. The goal wasn't to make it scream but just enough to elicit some envy as it rolled down the street or mastered the track. With some help from APR, D2, Carbonio, and BBS, it does just that.  Also be sure to check out the awesome shots of this GTI, courtesy of Clint Davis Photography! Details
