Waiting on delivery of valves from the OE manufacturer in Germany (unfortunately they don't build as fast as us).

I recommend getting the order in now so the lead time doesn't "grow" so to speak. It would be built to where the only remaining bit of the process would be to deploy the valve upon their arrival.

Understood. I know you work for AWE but I just need some honest opinions between Armytrix and AWE Switch Path. I can't seem to decide between the two. Of course I would like to order as soon as possible, but some help would be greatly appreciated.

No worries, my friend. My insight is never biased when I have any to offer.

I haven't heard their system on a C300 in the "flesh" before.

What I have seen here at HQ: someone brought in a system of theirs (for a different vehicle) to have installed among some other work we were doing for them, and our veteran tech of 16 years couldn't install the system. It was hitting the belly of the car in multiple places and didn't allow tips to go on due to misaligned welded flanges. The customer was shown everything, and ended up having our system put on saying (without influence from us) "I regret not going this route in the first place."

With that said, again I can't comment on sound. I can recommend to proceed with confidence on our end as our systems are built in laser-cut fixtures here at our HQ from start to finish. They're also slip-fit to enable an easy installation from a shade tree mechanic to a prestigious installation center, though we prefer you utilize our preferred dealer network if installation was needed.

Sorry if that doesn't help too much!

Not from me, but there could/would be when ordering through a dealer. Check our dealer map here.

Hey Josh, interested in getting this installed on my C300 Coupe. Do either of the exhausts have that signature "pop"/crackle? I couldn't hear it in either of the videos.

The beloved crackles are typically due to the vehicle's software. The C300 isn't know to do this, though the SwitchPath™ has a tiny bit of burble when the valve is open.

Hi Josh,
Is it true that the SwitchPath version is no longer available?

Is this product made differently depending on which side the steering wheel is positioned (LHD/RHD)?

Would need a VIN to confirm RHD fitment. Email it over to me via jdavis@awe-tuning.com
