I am pleased to announce the official release of our hand-crafted R8 4.2L SwitchPath™ Exhaust System.

On top of a signature sound, gains of +25hp / +28lb ft at 4700rpm, and a 24lb weight savings, the R8 4.2L SwitchPath™ Exhaust System allows the driver to select Exhaust volume via a mounted in-cabin remote.

• Under part throttle and idle, valves route exhaust gasses through a central muffler, keeping sound tame and drone free.
• At 3/4 throttle application and more, the valves open and the system is unleashed – going into “straight pipe” mode.
• An in-cabin mounted electronic SwitchPath Remote toggles the mechanical valves between “normal” and “straight pipe mode.”

In “Normal” mode, the system’s valves are controlled by throttle position, while in “Straight Pipe Mode” the system gets aggressive from the start (ideal for racing and track usage).

Want to have your cake and eat it too? Order your SwitchPath Exhaust or 4.2L Straight Pipes before January 3rd and you'll get special Holiday Pricing.

Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. I'll see if we can incorporate some sort of explanation in future videos.
