The AWE Touring-to-Track Conversion Kit for the MK8 GTI allows you to easily switch from the more refined Touring Edition to the always-rowdy Track Edition, without needing to purchase a full new exhaust kit. Keep in mind, the Track Edition is known to be rowdy in the mid range and can drone. You've been warned!
