Touring Edition Exhaust
At the intersection of sophistication and aggression
lies the Touring Edition Exhaust. A dual 3” T304L stainless steel
cat-back configuration, the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust is the perfect
dose of steel for drivers looking for straight-pipe performance without
sacrificing perfect daily drivability: a deep, sophisticated, exotic
exhaust note with zero drone at highway speeds -- and V4 mode!
Thanks to the asymmetric design, the number of
necessary bends is minimized, thus removing the unwanted restriction in
flow while facilitating impressive gains across the entire powerband.
Paired with robust internally-lined stainless steel flex sections
upstream, engine movement is significantly isolated, enabling life-long
durability for peace of mind. Going the asymmetric approach
also allowed us the opportunity of creating a bespoke cross-over
section with entries from both the top and the bottom. Doing this we're
able to achieve a rich and aggressive exhaust note out of the LT2
whether it be at idle, rev, or WOT.
Beyond the unique crossover, the Touring Edition
brings up the rear in proper fashion by featuring AWE’s patented
drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, which targets and omits
drone-prone frequencies while defeating the dreaded in-cabin tone change when switching between V4 and V8 modes.
What’s this mean for you? You’ll be tuned into a
pure, full-bodied LT2 soundtrack unlike any other without sacrificing
in-cabin refinement, all while saving 31 lbs over stock.
Sound Perfection: AWE 180 Technology®
Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology.
As exhaust gases exit the LT2 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. More on AWE 180 Technology® in the tab above.
As a finishing touch, the included aluminum heat
shield bolts to the bumper (via factory mounting locations) and resides
neatly behind the exhaust, out of sight, with only an AWE logo showing
through the rear mesh to let everyone know what team you’re on.
Why’d we go with an aluminum solution versus a heat
blanket? Heat blankets are susceptible to waterlogging and material
break-down over extended periods of time. By crafting the headshield out
of aluminum it provides a true, lifetime solution.
