[Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for Bronco Raptor

[Sara/AWE]

Ready to buck. Presenting the AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for Bronco Raptor:

• 50-state emissions-compliant dual 3” catback exhaust
• Engineered to crawl (or jump) with best-in-class clearance on even the most aggressive departure angles, providing factory-crushing clearance
• OE, tier 1 valves ensure 100% factory operation via programmable interior button and throttle input
• Bespoke SwitchPath™ muffler provides dual soundtracks: close the valve for maximum comfort on the highway (cold-starts, as well, if needed), leave it open any other time for a good time
• Tailored X-pipe smooths the EcoBoost motor of rasp
• Dyno-verified max gains of 1 hp and 9 lb-ft of torque at the wheels
• BashGuard™ features a thick reinforced stainless ring on the outlet, built for bashing
• Features locking collars for exhaust hangers to prevent movement
• Handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065”-wall T304L stainless steel
• Included additional valve motor and simulator plate to keep the ECU happy
• Less is more: clean, straight-through design for maximum performance and tone
• Proudly engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house, in the USA
• Pure bolt-on, no-cutting required
• Perfect Fitment Guarantee
• AWE No CEL Guarantee
• Lifetime warranty

X marks the spot:
SwitchPath™unleashes a signature soundtrack out of the Braptor’s 3.0TT at all times–hearty and clean of wrasp thanks to the precision engineered X-pipe. This is the best sounding EcoBoost exhaust note to date.




Valved for your comfort:
SwitchPath™ features a tier 1 OEM-supplied valve that functions exactly like the factory exhaust meaning it will open when the designated throttle threshold is achieved, or you force it open with the customizable on-board button. Close the valve when on the highway or when starting cold, and leave it open any other time. Note the difference in sound between valve positions will not be overly noticeable due to the high flowing nature of the exhaust design – its sole reason for existing is to enable max comfort on the highway or quieting down when needed. SwitchPath™ comes with an additional machined aluminum valve bracket to accommodate the unused factory valve to keep the ECU happy.





The one system for every terrain:
Crafted from 3” CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065”-wall T304L stainless steel, SwitchPath™ features a dual BashGuards™ thick reinforced stainless rings on the outlets to prevent collapsing if you (somehow) managed to catch them on an obstacle. They sit well above the tow hooks, higher than factory, well out of the way of danger–we like performance with peace of mind.





Power at the big wheels:
SwitchPath™ unlocks dyno-proven gains of +1 hp and +9 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.

100% emission-friendly:
SwitchPath™ does not interfere with any factory emissions equipment.

Made in PA, USA:
Engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE.

Thanks, but was more specifically asking about a switchpath version for the 2.3/2.7. There is no current offering in the configurations listed at the product link you shared.

May not make sense for the smaller engines, there being less to get rowdy with, but am still curious.

Ah, those engines did not come valved from the factory so no SwitchPath functionality for the regular Bronco.

When we design an exhaust system, we set out to enhance the vehicle while being complimentary to the original design. Adding a valve where there was none originally would add cost and installation complexity when we can achieve a great soundtrack without over complicating things.

Gotcha. Thanks for humoring me. I completely forgot the Braptor came with valved exhaust.

Btw, the notes from the 2.7 are AWE-some! Very much considering it for my WT!

SwitchPath™ unlocks dyno-proven gains of +1 hp and +9 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.

Dynos, even the ones in a completely different league than the very basic Mustang you are using, do not have the accuracy nor repeatability to enable you to claim a 1/4 of one percent power gain. Come on...Your system is as likely to reduce power as it is to provide a definitive gain. A small testament to the OEMs often leaving nothing "on the table". The cats will have to be replaced or removed to actually make power.

You would be hard pressed to obtain an accuracy and repeatability of even 20 TIMES your claimed gains.

Either denial, lack of understanding of your equipment or a lack of understanding of accuracy and repeatability are in play here.

After getting that out, it's a very nice looking system. The bash guard is a great idea and it is good/interesting that you achieved improved ground clearance in one or more locations.

Does it not sound similar to the OE system?

While you are not wrong that every piece of testing equipment does have a degree of error we do everything in our power to minimize all the variables including multiple runs (sometimes 20+), testing both stock and AWE on the same day within short durations of time to minimize environmental conditions. We make sure to maintain a repeatable and consistent IAT each run to prevent variance and always provide wheel HP and TQ graphs in an effort of transparency (the graph is posted in the OP or you can check it out here). While 1 Hp may not seem great it is what we measured using our ridged testing protocol, and we post exactly what we measure whether it is a great number or not.

Does it not sound similar to the OE system?

Wouldn't say so, especially with valves open. Sometimes YT videos don't do it justice compared to in person, but we have plenty of sound clips right here.

Love this system on my Braptor! AWE is where it's at!
