The Options:
Touring Edition Exhaust
A straight-through design, the AWE Touring Edition Axleback is a 3” T304L stainless steel configuration featuring AWE’s proprietary, drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®.
With aggression on-tap, the Touring Edition provides the ultimate experience for drivers wanting the ability to unleash the fury of the 6.2L while providing drone-free in-cabin acoustics at cruising speeds. Responsive to throttle input, the 180 Technology®-equipped Touring Edition is capable of remaining tame until provoked by the driver.
The Touring Edition Axleback comes complete with over-axle tubes, rear 180 Technology® resonators, quad 4.5” double-walled tips in chrome silver or diamond black, and all necessary hardware for installation.
Sound Perfection: 180 Technology® by AWE
As exhaust gases exit the Corvette’s 6.2L 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. Call it science, call it magic, or call it 180 Technology® by AWE. More in the tab above.
Track Edition Exhaust
Raw, rowdy, and lightweight. The AWE Track Edition Axleback is the perfect dose of steel for drivers looking for the loudest of the lot.
Retaining the 3” diameter T304L stainless steel construction, the Track Edition Axleback mirrors all of the precision engineering and perfect fitment found in its Touring Edition counterpart, minus the 180 Technology®. Instead, the Track Edition features straight pipe sections to deliver the thunder.
Due to this reason, AWE Track Edition Exhausts cannot be returned based on sound preference. You’ve been warned.
AFM Valve Simulators (required for the Corvette Stingray / Z51 Auto / Z51 Manual (2014-2016) / Grand Sport Auto):
- Provides a worry-free solution for removing AFM valves from the exhaust route without causing a CEL
- CNC laser-cut T304 stainless steel construction
- Direct bolt-on to factory AFM valve motors
- Comes as a set of two
- AWE Perfect Fitment Guarantee
- AWE No CEL Guarantee
- AWE Lifetime Warranty
The AWE AFM Valve Simulators allow cars with AFM valves to equip AWE Axleback Exhausts without the worry of throwing a CEL. Vehicles without AFM valves do not need to purchase the AFM Valve Simulators. Simply remove the AFM valve motors from the factory exhaust, bolt them onto the AWE AFM Valve Simulator, and secure them safely to the vehicle.
Once installed, the AFM valve motors will retain their factory operation, and keep your car’s ECU happy. Check the simple install process right here.
AWE AFM Valve Simulators come as a set of two, and require the use of the factory valve motor hardware to secure the AFM motor to the AWE Valve Simulator plate.
IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE FOR AFM-EQUIPPED VEHICLES:
AWE AFM Valve Simulators are required for vehicles equipped with AFM valves; i.e. Corvette Stingray / Z51 Auto / Z51 Manual (2014-2016) / Grand Sport Auto.
Tip Options:
All tip options include the AWE logo and double-walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. All tips are individually adjustable, allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste.
- 4.5” slash-cut diamond black tips
- 4.5” slash-cut chrome silver tips
Conversion Kits:
We made it easy to convert catbacks from a Track Edition to a Touring Edition, non-resonated to resonated, or vice versa if you decide at a later date to turn it up or turn it down.
What’s in the box?
Complete AWE Touring or Track Edition Axleback, quad 4.5” tips in the desired finish (unless its a Performance X-pipe only), and all required installation hardware.

What is 180 Technology?
AWE 180 Technology® works a little something like this: As exhaust gases exit the 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. Depending on the sound requirements of each vehicle, AWE acoustic engineers adjust the size and location of the ports and the chambers. By controlling the size and location of these key elements, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves re-join the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.
Consistency through change.
AWE 180 Technology® is not on a “one size fits all” concept. Rather, AWE engineers design sound cancellation resonators based upon the specific acoustics generated by vehicle types, thereby ensuring perfect sound, every time. It’s one of the reasons AWE ® exhausts have earned a reputation for the perfect tone, regardless of application.
What it means to you.
The result? The removal of unwanted tones in all AWE 180 Technology®-equipped exhaust systems. The sound produced by this formula is the perfect, signature note. Unlocked performance and spot-on tone, every time
