FAQ
What is the difference between the Touring and Track Edition?
The Touring Edition uses AWE's patented 180 Technology resonators to eliminate interior drone at cruising speed while preserving an aggressive tone under load. The Track Edition uses less internal resonation for a louder, more aggressive exhaust note throughout the rev range.
What material is this exhaust made from?
3in and 2.5in CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065in wall T304L stainless steel, handcrafted in-house at AWE in the USA.
What color are the exhaust tips?
Vapor Blue, a double-walled, slash-cut, AWE-logo-engraved tip finish that is individually adjustable for depth.
Does this exhaust require tuning or trigger a check engine light?
No. AWE backs every exhaust with a No Check Engine Light guarantee, and installation is a direct bolt-on with no tuning required.
What is the warranty on this exhaust?
Lifetime warranty on the exhaust system, with a 1-year warranty on tip finish where applicable.
Can I convert between Touring and Track Edition later?
Yes, AWE offers Conversion Kits that allow switching between the two configurations after initial installation.
Is this a full cat-back system or an axle-back?
This is an axle-back system, replacing the exhaust from the axle rearward while retaining the factory mid-pipe.
Does installation require welding?
No, AWE exhaust systems are engineered as direct bolt-on installations using factory hanger and flange locations.
Installation Instructions
- Raise and safely support the vehicle following standard shop safety procedures.
- Remove the factory exhaust section being replaced at the marked flange or hanger points.
- Position the new AWE Axle-Back exhaust section and loosely attach it at the factory hanger points.
- Align the tips for even spacing and centered clearance in the bumper cutout.
- Tighten all clamps and fasteners to AWE's specified torque values.
- Start the engine and inspect all joints for exhaust leaks before lowering the vehicle.
