The simple answer is a resounding yes! If you want to buy a BMW F8X Exhaust, we have some good news for you. AWE’s second generation AWE Exhaust Suite for the BMW F8X M3 and M4 isn’t necessarily a new product on the scene, but a solid option for an enthusiast who is in search of aftermarket exhaust roar, while being able to pass legal emissions in all 50 states. When it comes to manufacturing the exhaust system for the BMW F8X M3/M4, AWE wanted to make sure that they deliver. With this 50-state legal exhaust system, AWE has manufactured an exhaust with features that set it apart from the competition such as Remus, IPE, Eisenmann, Akrapovic, Armytrix, and Meisterschaft. When it comes to Gen2 F8X Exhaust, AWE has made sure that the S55 sounds great, again with perfect fitment, and performance; while staying in the boundaries of the EPA.
The second generation of SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the BMW F8X M3 and M4 sounds great with the valves open and closed. In addition to that, this BMW exhaust remains emissions-compliant, no matter the state of the valves. Manufactured using U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel, The SwitchPath™ Exhaust is a true catback configuration comprised of 3-inch and 2.5-inch, a precision x-pipe, and a valved SwitchPath™ muffler tuned specifically for the S55.

The AWE Exhaust System has minimal bends, maximum flow, and a push-button attitude. When the valves are closed, the SwitchPath™ Exhaust produces a refined, aggressive howl while remaining full-bodied and powerful – no congested, metallic sounds here when on the throttle. At cruising speeds, interior acoustics are close to stock. AWE SwitchPath™ tech also responds perfectly to the many transmission settings and shift points in DCT vehicles. When you drop the hammer with the valves closed and SwitchPath™ sings a proper M anthem. No one would blame you If you were to leave the valves closed at all times after equipping SwitchPath™, as the sound remains great, all the time.
When the valves are open, the S55’s roar is uncorked. Modes like Sport and Sport+ can achieve the ultimate contrast in behavior when compared to comfort driving modes (valves closed). In Sport mode, the exhaust note is powerful, clean, and aggressive. In Sport+ mode, there is the same aggression, but with a lot of grin-provoking burbles. Thanks to the precision X-pipe, the rasp is still kept in check while allowing the exhaust note to reach full aggression. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds and want to retain your factory valve behavior all while gaining peace of mind (i.e. emissions compliance), look no further than SwitchPath™.
The Track Edition
AWE Track Edition Exhaust takes all of the precision engineering and performance of its SwitchPath™ counterpart, minus the valved muffler in the rear, which results in a constant “valve open” mode, at an affordable price. If you’re craving rich and rowdy tones at all times, and a hefty 22.5lb weight savings, this is the perfect BMW F80 Exhaust / BMW F82 Exhaust for you. Just like the AWE Switchpath Exhaust F80 M3, the AWE Track Exhaust is also 50-state legal and it comes complete with AWE valve simulators to accommodate your factory exhaust valve motors.
Tip Options
The SwitchPath™ and Track Edition Exhaust feature statement-making quad 102mm double-walled, slash-cut tips in either chrome silver or diamond black, complete with a stamped AWE logo.
