AWE Switchpath Exhaust Valve Motor vs. OEM Valve Motor - Are they the Same?

[Optima]

Does anyone know if the Exhaust Valve Motors are the same between an AWE SwitchPath and the OEM MK7 Golf R Exhaust?

Pretty sure I've got a motor that's going bad (or has carbon buildup) and want to try to swap on one from my OEM Exhaust in storage.

Anyone done this?

the oem exhaust doesn't have a motor?

Pretty sure all valved exhausts with the exception of the vacuum based valved options all reuse the oem electronic valve motors. My apr does as does the awe I’m pretty sure. You might find your oem exhaust doesn’t have the motors cause whoever installed your awe will have already swapped over the electronic motors.

GTI doesn’t , R does. He’s posting in the wrong section.

I thought you had to swap over your factory valve motors to the SwitchPath exhaust. But yes, they should be the same. I have two for sale if anyone's interested.
