The Options
Touring Edition Exhaust
At the intersection of sophistication and aggression lies the Touring
Edition Exhaust. A full 3” T304L stainless steel downpipe-back
configuration, the Touring Edition Exhaust is the perfect dose of steel
for drivers looking for straight-pipe performance, a deep, sophisticated
exhaust note, and zero drone at highway speeds.
Featuring an integrated front pipe, bespoke midpipe resonator, and
AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, the Touring
Edition delivers a full-bodied, rasp-free K20 soundtrack unachieved by
any of its peers. Under boost and heavy throttle, the Touring Edition
screams. At highway speeds, drone-free within the cabin -- the best of
both worlds. Perfectly engineered and packaged for the FK8 Civic Type R,
all backed by AWE No CEL and Perfect Fitment Guarantees..
Sound Perfection: AWE 180 Technology
Perfect tone, straight through design, no drone. Compliments of AWE 180 Technology.
As exhaust gases exit the K20 engine and flow into an AWE 180
Technology equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located
ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these
exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By
controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also
control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of
when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a
one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out
problematic frequencies. All of this with a straight-through design --
in other words, all the power, none of the drone. More on AWE 180
Technology in the tab above.
Track Edition Exhaust
For those who like it raw and rowdy, the Track Edition is for you.
The Track Edition shares the same integrated front pipe, bespoke midpipe
resonator, and precision engineering as its Touring Edition
counterpart, minus AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180
Technology®.
In place of the 180 Technology® resonator in the rear lies a Track
Edition straight section. As a result, this version is known to get
(really) rowdy in mid range acceleration and deceleration, and may be
too much for many. You’ve been warned.
Conversion kits:
We made it easy to convert between Track and Touring Editions, as
well as dual and triple tip configurations, if you decide at a later
date to change your volume or the aesthetic.
Important fitment notes
The Touring and Track Edition Exhausts include a full 3” front pipe.
This front pipe is integrated into the design of the exhausts. AWE
exhausts are not designed to mate with other aftermarket front pipes.
Downpipes, on the other hand, should work just fine (so long as they
work with the factory-style flange).
Tip Options
The Touring and Track Edition Exhausts feature a modular tip design
that allows drivers the choice of running double or triple 4.5”
slash-cut tips via our bespoke stamped tip merges. With such
interchangeability, a dual tip configuration can be converted into a
tri-tip configuration (and vice-versa) within minutes via an AWE Tip
Conversion Kit.
Each exhaust comes complete with 4.5” double-walled, slash-cut tips
available in chrome silver or diamond black, and feature a stamped AWE
logo. All tips are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the
bumper to be set according to personal taste.
