The AWE SwitchPath™ remote works with the stock exhaust, or the appropriate AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust. Comes as a set of two remotes with wiring harness, control box and mounting hardware, and has a compact design, perfect for a keychain or cup holder.What it does: The AWE SwitchPath™ Remote and accompanying control box overrides the factory valving to allow the exhaust valves, whether it be on the AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust or the stock exhaust, to be opened or closed manually via the SwitchPath™ Remote. With the AWE SwitchPath™ Controller installed, the exhaust valves can be opened by pressing the “On” button found on the left side of the SwitchPath™ Remote. To close the exhaust valves simply press the “Off” button on the right side of the remote. Please note, the AWE SwitchPath™ Remote overrides the stock valve control, meaning the exhaust must be opened and closed with the remote as desired.
