AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust — C8 Corvette Z06
AWE 180 Technology® — How Drone Cancellation Works
On The Z06
Fitment
| Vehicle | Year | Engine |

| Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 | 2023+ | 5.5L LT6 Flat-Plane V8 (650 hp) |
Fits: 2023+ C8 Z06 only (5.5L LT6 flat-plane V8). NOT for C8 Stingray or E-Ray — separate system.
How SwitchPath™ Works
Two exhaust personalities in one axle-back. SwitchPath™ uses a patented valve assembly controlled by wireless remote: Track Mode bypasses the 180 Technology® resonators for full flat-plane LT6 scream; Touring Mode routes through the resonators for drone-free highway cruise. Switch on the fly — no cabin intrusion, no compromise.
Sound Character
The LT6’s flat-plane crankshaft gives the Z06 a sound unlike any other American V8 — higher-pitched, more mechanical, with a Ferrari-esque wail at high RPM. Track Mode amplifies this to its full potential. Touring Mode keeps the flat-plane character intact while eliminating drone. There is no other exhaust system on the market that handles both this well for the Z06.
