Whats going on with the delays? I ordered my switchpath exhaust i was told 2-3 weeks. been over a month now.
Thanks for the patience. We were waiting on valve assemblies from our friends in Germany. They arrived Monday. Email me your order number and/or who you ordered through and I can check in on progress for ya.
I just installed my AWE exhaust on my 2016. I found one in stock (after some hunting) and got it within 1 day.
I installed the kit myself. It is very well made, and fitment was good, although one area on the car is very tight with clearance.
everything was very well made. Welds all looked good, and everything slipped together as advertised.
I honestly dont don’t see any way that this system could be made any better. For the companies that charge $3000+ just for the mufflers... I just scratch my head.
Just an FYI... all systems now include the actuators and the valves. So there is no more swapping of the OEM actuators to the new exhaust.

AWE instructions are outdated.
Glad you're satisfied and installation was straight forward for DIY!
Apologies for in the instructions, but thank you for noting them. Seems to be an old version cached somewhere.

torque wrench (I used factory torque specs where applicable)
penetrating lube (for exhaust hangers)
hanger removal tool (or similar)
Without the hanger removal tool, it’s a real pain to get the hangers off. You just need any tool that can grip the hanger, while pushing the metal supports out of the hanger.
If you use ramps/jack stands, I’d recommend trying to get the entire car off the ground. Perhaps driving up on ramps in the front, then jacking the car up and placing ramps under the back tires. Or vis versa.
Make sure you tighten the exhaust clamps down well.
Also I’ll add. My butt dyno says the car seems a little more powerful. AWE has a dyno graph on their site like awe did. I put more faith in companies that actually post a real dyno graph (yes I know there could be other factors with the numbers).
If I had to guess, maybe 10-15 hp, which I seem to feel in around town driving 0-50mph with moderate throttle.
One thing I noticed is that I can hear the recirculating valve more now. After changing to high flow filters, I could hear the valve occasionally, but now with the exhaust I hear it much more often. My logic would say that if I’m hearing that sound more, then perhaps the exhaust is more free flowing than stock... thus increasing a little bit of intake flow as well. Not sure if I’m correct on that... but that’s something that was definitely pronounced.
If anyone is lookin' to pipe up, PM me so I can assist you in getting aligned with a dealer for the possibility of immediate fulfillment / bypassing lead times!
I'm in Sydney and it's hard to get good info/workshops here with decent knowledge and/or experience wth the w205 c63s....
is there a workshop here you guys partner with?

But it works with OEM wiring harness (e.g., the button on the console)???

Optional AWE Tuning Machined Exhaust Tips available in three finishes
Featuring the unprecedented AWE Tuning Fitment Guarantee
No Check Engine Light Guarantee
AWE Tuning Lifetime Warranty
AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust
The lower priced, unruly sibling of the SwitchPath™ Exhaust. The Track Edition Exhaust boasts the same quality, construction, and performance as the SwitchPath™ Exhaust, minus the resonators and valves. The result is the savage side of the spectrum, all the time. The valved H-pipe is part of the package, controlled automatically by the factory electronics.
The Track Edition Exhaust is not for the faint of heart. The Track Edition Exhaust will be the most pronounced in the mid range and cannot be returned due to its sound (this system is about commitment, and for those who like it loud).
Important fitment note: Cars with the AMG Performance Exhaust will need to order the AWE Tuning valve simulators along with the Track Edition Exhaust.

Could you elaborate on the fitment issue / rubbing please? Which components rub? Was the solution just to force it in or heat bending with an oxy torch?!?!
