AWE SwitchPath Cat-Back Exhaust for 2023-2026 C8 Corvette Z06 5.5L (Coupe / Convertible)- Diamond Black Tips - 3025-43906

Flat-plane & furious. The AWE SwitchPath™ Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 C8 Corvette Z06 5.5L unleashes the full voice of the LT6 flat-plane crank V8 while retaining complete factory valve integration and emissions compliance. Designed exclusively for the C8 Z06 Coupe and Convertible platforms, this valved cat-back exhaust system delivers substantial horsepower gains, reduced weight, and AWE’s signature refined-but-aggressive tone.

If you’re searching for the best exhaust system for a 2023 C8 Z06, 2024 C8 Z06, 2025 C8 Z06, or 2026 C8 Z06 5.5L Corvette, this AWE SwitchPath™ Diamond Black tip configuration was engineered specifically for the high-revving LT6 engine and its 8,600 RPM redline.

Complete Vehicle Fitment Coverage.

  • 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 5.5L – Coupe
  • 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 5.5L – Convertible
  • 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 5.5L – Coupe

This system retains all factory onboard drive mode controls and does not require a valve relearn after installation.

SwitchPath™ Valve Technology – Precision Sound Control.

The hallmark of the AWE SwitchPath™ system is its active valve integration using tier 1 supplier valves that respect factory linkage and electronics. Whether driving in Tour, Sport, Track, or MyMode, the exhaust responds exactly as intended by the factory controls.

Unlike many valved exhaust systems, AWE engineered the Z06 system to deliver a clean, rich, and aggressive exhaust note regardless of valve position. With valves closed, the system maintains refinement. With valves open, it amplifies the exotic flat-plane V8 character without rasp or harsh frequencies.

Performance Gains & Weight Reduction.

The tailored X-pipe package design improves exhaust scavenging and optimizes flow characteristics for the naturally aspirated 5.5L engine. The result is improved throttle response and increased mid-range torque delivery.

  • Max gains of +11 horsepower at the wheels
  • +14 lb-ft of torque at the wheels
  • SwitchPath™ weight: 42.5 lbs
  • Factory exhaust weight: 57.5 lbs
  • Approximately 15 lbs of weight savings
  • 3” CNC mandrel-bent U.S.-made .065” wall T304L stainless steel

Reducing weight while improving flow enhances both track performance and everyday driving dynamics.

Advanced Engineering & Construction.

  • Integrated heat shields mounting to factory bumper locations
  • Special AWE packing material designed to prevent tone degradation over time
  • Internally-lined stainless flex sections to isolate engine movement
  • No impact on factory emissions equipment
  • Direct bolt-on installation – no cutting required
  • AWE Perfect Fitment Guarantee
  • AWE No CEL Guarantee
  • AWE Lifetime Warranty

Every component is proudly engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE to ensure durability under street and track use.

4.5” Diamond Black Double-Walled Slash Cut Tips.

This configuration includes 4.5-inch double-walled slash cut Diamond Black tips that enhance the aggressive rear styling of the C8 Z06. The deep black finish complements carbon fiber accents and darker exterior colors while maintaining corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Tip alignment and geometry are engineered specifically for the C8 Z06 rear fascia to maintain factory-like precision.
