    Thoughts on running the AWE Switchpath on an S3 used in a professional setting?

    Hey guys, long time VW enthusiast here and I recently bought a 2016 S3. I came from a 2015 GLI SEL with APR stage 1, Uni catback exhaust, carbonio intake, and DG lowering springs. The plan was to keep my S3 stock, but I keep looking at my car and want larger tips and a bit more grunt. I looked at doing the res delete with 4" tips, but thats about $500 so I feel I should just opt for a full catback system. Anyways, I am an accountant so I use my car to go to clients and frequently carpool with other accountants. With the valves closed how much louder is it versus stock? Professional? My Uni system was pretty loud and I often felt a bit embarrassed about it being so loud. I can get a bit of a feeling from videos online, but it's hard not hearing it in person. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I'm sure it will be fine. Why are you so worried about what other people think? Just don't fly around town and you'll be fine. Buy the switchback remote and just close the valves if you are really that concerned.

    Thanks for the response. I generally try to stay low key since I'm 24 years old and have a new S3 lol. My coworkers know I have it but I downplay the whole situation. I don't want to attract unwanted attention, just would like to make it sound more aggressive when I'm driving on my own time.

    I do have the flaps open and it sounds a bit louder, but I definitely would like a bit more tone.

    Would I have to worry about warranty at all? Other than the OEM exhaust.
