PRESENTING THE BEST SOUNDING EXHAUSTS ON THE PLANET™ FOR THE C8 CORVETTE:
Track Edition Exhaust:
For those who like it raw, rowdy, and light, the AWE Track Edition is for you. The Track Edition shares the same bespoke design and precision engineering as its Touring Edition counterpart, minus AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, providing a weight savings of 39 lbs over stock.
In place of the 180 Technology® resonators are Track Edition straight pipe sections. As a result, this version is known to get rowdy during mid-range acceleration and deceleration, as well as becoming more noticeable within the cabin during V4 mode.
Due to this reason, AWE Track Edition Exhausts cannot be returned based on sound preference. You’ve been warned.
Valve simulators:
Thanks to our patented 180 Technology®, your C8's tone, and volume are controlled by throttle input. Valves can be used to control flow to prevent drone and exhaust volume. . . but given the magic of 180 Technology®, valves are not needed. Want to be stealthy through a residential area? No problem. Need your highway driving to be nearly the same as stock (if not quieter)? 180 Technology® delivers. Drop that hammer, and it sings a completely different song. The Track Edition, on the other hand, is for those who like it rowdy around the clock, thus it features lightweight Track Edition sections instead of 180 Technology®.
Regardless of the configuration, C8s have valve connections, and AWE engineered a solution for both AFM and NPP valves resulting in the ECU remaining happy, allowing the C8 Corvette to operate at full stride with no CELs and maximum peace of mind. Each kit includes two pairs -- one for AFM, and the other for NPP. If your C8 does not have NPP, only one pair will be used. Purely plug in and rip!
Heat shielding:
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 breakdown over extended periods of time. Crafting the headshield out of aluminum it provides a true, lifetime solution.
Conversion kits:
We made it easy to convert between Track and Touring Edition configurations if you decide at a later date to change your volume or aesthetic.
Tip Options:
The Touring and Track Edition Exhausts feature statement-making quad 4.5” tips, double-walled, slash-cut tips in either chrome silver or diamond black, complete with a stamped AWE logo.
What’s in the box?
Complete Touring or Track Edition Exhaust, four 102mm double-walled tips in the desired finish, aluminum AWE heat shield, four AWE Valve Simulators, and all necessary hardware for installation.
