AWE Tuning Exhaust Systems: Awesome Sound without Annoying Drone

AWE Tuning’s slogan is “Best Sounding Exhausts on the Planet™.” That’s a pretty bold claim, but they sure know how to build a great-sounding exhaust system. Take their 180 Technology® drone-cancelling system, for example. As exhaust gas flows through the exhaust into a 180 Technology-type resonator (aka muffler) it passes through strategically located ports and into reflection chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves exit the chambers and into the main exhaust flow creates a 180-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. All you hear is a great exhaust note with no annoying drone.

AWE Tuning hand-builds each exhaust system in the USA using American-sourced T304L stainless steel. All tubing is CNC-mandrel bent for maximum flow, and all systems are direct bolt-ons for easy installation.

AWE Tuning not only backs their systems with a limited lifetime warranty, they also offer Perfect Fitment and No CEL Guarantees. Now that’s confidence.

Summit Racing offers AWE Tuning exhaust systems for street, track, and off-road vehicles. This AWE Tuning video will help you choose the right exhaust system for your vehicle and driving style.

Touring Edition and Track Edition Exhaust Systems
AWE Touring Edition Exhaust Systems might be the perfect systems for high-performance, street-driven cars. They have a quiet rumble at idle and around town. When you stomp the gas pedal, the systems go full muscle car with a deep, drone-free exhaust note. A Touring Edition system will even free up some extra horsepower and torque.

If you want something rowdier, check out the Track Edition Exhaust Systems. They have straight-through mufflers without AWE’s drone-canceling 180 Technology® so you get a no-filter performance sound at all speeds. AWE Track Edition systems also improve horsepower and are lighter than the Touring Edition systems.

AWE Tuning Touring Edition and Track Edition Exhaust Systems are available for popular late-model Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Scion/Toyota, and Subaru sports and muscle cars.

SwitchPath Edition Exhaust Systems
AWE Tuning SwitchPath Edition Exhaust Systems let you switch from a quiet tone to a performance rumble with the touch of a button. They feature a mechanical valve system on the muffler or the midpipe depending on the application. If your car came with a factory active exhaust system, the valve(s) are controlled by the existing active exhaust software. For cars that came with a standard exhaust system, AWE includes a control box and remote to control the valves. Keep the valve closed for around-town driving or highway cruising, then open it up on the backroads or at the track for a full-throated roar.

AWE Tuning SwitchPath Edition Exhaust Systems are available for select late-model Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VW cars. We also have systems for 2021-23 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 and 2016-18 Ford Focus RS.

OFG Cat-Back Exhaust Systems
AWE Tuning OFG Cat-Back Exhaust Systems are designed for pickup trucks. They feature individually adjustable stainless steel tips so you can set them to fit your truck perfectly. Most systems are a high-clearance design to improve departure angles and come with AWE’s BashGuards to protect vulnerable areas of the exhaust system from damage on the trail. An OFG exhaust will even save you some weight compared to the heavy stock exhaust system.

AWE Tuning OFG Cat-Back Exhaust Systems are 50-state emissions legal and available for these trucks:
• 2019-23 Silverado/Sierra 1500
• 2015-23 Ford F-150
• 2008-23 Dodge/RAM 1500
• 2016-23 Toyota Tacoma

Trail Edition and Tread Edition Exhaust Systems for Jeep
AWE Tuning gives Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator owners a choice of exhaust systems. For folks who take their vehicles off-road, the Trail Edition Exhaust Systems provide maximum ground clearance to improve departure angles and clear rocks and other obstacles. Since exhaust tips usually get smooshed on a trail vehicle, the Trail Edition systems don’t come with them.

If you stick to the highway, a Tread Edition system is for you. They provide a drone-free rumble at highway speeds and come with exhaust tips to dress up the back of your Jeep.

AWE Trail Edition Exhaust Systems are available for 2012-23 Jeep Wrangler and 2020-23 Gladiator. Tread Edition Exhaust Systems are available for 2029-23 Wrangler and 2020-23 Gladiator.
