Product Information: AWE TRACK and TOURING Dodge Challenger Exhaust

The AWE TRACK and TOURING Dodge Challenger Exhaust is a high-performance exhaust system that is designed to fit the Dodge Challenger. It is made of high-quality materials and has been crafted with precision to ensure top-notch performance. The exhaust system is available in various part numbers and tip options. The package includes an H-pipe, DS resonated axle tube, PS resonated axle tube, DS non-resonated axle tube, PS non-resonated axle tube, stock tip option, quad tip option, exhaust hardware, and valve simulator. The AWE exhaust system is backed by the expertise of AWE Performance Specialists who can help with any questions or concerns.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Refer to the manufacturer’s service manual for precise torque specifications on all OEM fasteners.
  2. CAUTION: The exhaust may be VERY HOT — allow adequate time for the system to cool down before disassembly. Severe burns and injury will occur if skin comes into contact with a hot exhaust system.
  3. To install the AWE exhaust system, start by removing the OEM Challenger exhaust by following these steps:
    • Unplug the 2 valve motors from the OEM harness.
    • Remove the 1 bolt per side holding the mid hangers in place, these 2 hangers have a hook that will hold the weight of the exhaust for the rest of the removal.
    • Remove the 1 bolt per side holding the 2 rear hangers to the chassis and the ground strap.
    • Loosen the 2 OEM clamps to allow you to remove the exhaust. NOTE: The exhaust may take force or rotation to remove it from the OEM downpipes.
  4. Use the 4 rubber OEM exhaust hangers that come with the AWE exhaust system. Do not mix up the original locations of the 4 hangers.
  5. Install the AWE exhaust system by placing 2 of the provided exhaust clamps onto the OEM downpipe side of the H-pipe.
  6. Install the H-pipe onto the OEM downpipes. This may require extra force, an option is to use a block of wood and a hammer to fully seat the exhaust onto the downpipes. Note: The DS of the H-pipe contains a tag to ensure correct alignment.

NOTE : Always refer to the manufacturer’s service manual for precise torque specifications on all OEM fasteners.
CAUTION : The exhaust may be VERY HOT — allow adequate time for the system to cool down before disassembly. Severe burns and injury will occur if skin comes into contact with a hot exhaust system.

Step 1
Start by removing the OEM Challenger exhaust by following these steps, shown in Figure 1.

  1. Un plug the 2 valve motors from the OEM harness.
  2. Remove the 1 bolt per side holding the mid hangers in place, these 2 hangers have a hook that will hold the weight of the exhaust for the rest of the removal.
  3. Remove the 1 bolt per side holding the 2 rear hangers to the chassis and the ground strap.
  4. Loosen the 2 OEM clamps to allow you to remove the exhaust.

NOTE : The exhaust may take force or rotation to remove it from the OEM down pipes.
NOTE : All 4 rubber OEM exhaust hangers will be used with your AWE exhaust. Do not mix up the original locations of the 4 hangers.

Step 2
Start installing your AWE exhaust by placing 2 of the provided exhaust clamps onto the OEM down pipe side of the H-pipe as shown in Figure 2-1. Install the H-pipe onto the OEM down pipes, this may require extra force, an option is to use a block of wood and a hammer to fully seat the exhaust onto the down pipes, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Note: The DS of the H-pipe contains a tag to ensure correct alignment.

Step 3
Install the axle sections of your AWE exhaust using 2 of the provided exhaust clamps. Slip the tubes onto the H-pipe. With the OEM hangers you removed earlier installed, rotate the OEM mount into place and reinstall the OEM bolts, as shown in Figure 3.

Step 4
Install the OEM hangers onto your AWE tip section of the exhaust, as shown in Figure 4.

Step 5
Install the tip sections of your AWE exhaust using 2 of the supplied exhaust clamps and the OEM hangers reinstalled in the OE locations, as shown in Figure 5.

Step 6
It is crucial to install each section and Accu-Seal clamp correctly to prevent loose joints, exhaust leaks between the tubing connections and rattles.

  • Arrow A in Figure 6 shows the expanded pipe and the preinstalled Accu-Seal clamp being brought up to the corresponding pipe.
  • Arrow B in Figure 6 shows the overlapping pipe installed correctly over the corresponding pipe.
  • Arrow C in Figure 6 shows the Accu-Seal clamp being brought to the edge of the expanded pipe.

NOTES:

  • Do not torque any Accu-Seal clamp until the entire exhaust has been installed and adjusted.
  • Torque specification is a minimum of 60 ft/lbs

Step 7
Install the exhaust tips onto your AWE exhaust, at this time snug the tip clamps, not fully tightening yet.
AWE Quad tips, will use the supplied clamps and tips, as shown in Figure 7.
Stock tips, will use the stock tip and barrel clamp. Use anti-seize in the threads of the clamps.

Step 8
To accomplish the best tip fitment, align the 2.5” tip clamp to cover only the slot, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 8.
The clamp should only be covering the section of the tip that has been slotted, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 8.

Torque the tip clamp to a minimum of 18 ft./lbs.
NOTES:

  • It is required to apply anti-seize to the threads to prevent thread binding, shown by Arrow C in Figure 8.
  • It is okay to have the clamp extend beyond the edge of the tip inlet.

Step 9
Check over your AWE exhaust for proper clearance from the chassis and correct tip alignment, working from the front to the back, ensure you torqued all the exhaust clamps to at least 60ft-lbs, and the tips are torqued to at least 18ft-lbs.

Step 10
Remove the 2 valve motors from the OEM exhaust, next remove the OEM spring, shown by Arrow A, and install the supplied small dowel, shown by Arrow B.

Step 11
With the dowels attached to the 2 valve motors, gather the supplied brackets and bolts, as shown in Figure 11-1. Attach the valve motors to the brackets, as shown in Figure 11-2. AWE-3015-11050-Touring-to-Track-
Conversion-Kit-product-12

Step 12
With the valve motor attached to the bracket, plug the motor back into the OEM wiring harness and using 4 of the supplied cable ties, 2 for each, secure the valve motors out of the way of any moving parts, as shown in Figure 12-1 and 12-2.  AWE-3015-11050-Touring-to-Track-Conversion-Kit-

TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue Solution
Exhaust is not fitting correctly Most fitment issues are due to improperly

adjusted exhaust. This includes tip fitments and rattling due to chassis contact. Check out our fitment guide for more installation tips.
Wrong or missing parts| Double check the parts list for your system and compare them with what you received. Fill out our contact form, found below and let us know what parts you need.
Clamps wont tighten| Ensure you have the right clamps using the description on the parts page. Use anti-seize on the threads and tighten to at least 60 ft- lbs. If you have a broken or incorrect clamp, please visit clamp corner.

CARE

Once installed properly, your AWE exhaust will provide years of trouble-free performance.
The exhaust volume and sound will settle with usage; 800-1000 miles is required to break-in new exhaust systems.

Also, please note that the rear 180Technology® resonator has a small drain hole to allow condensation to escape. Water drops from this area are normal.
Periodic cleaning of exhaust tips is necessary to maintain proper finish, especially in areas prone to road salt and caustic deicing solutions. Use a mild soap and water solution or car wax to clean the finish. Avoid using abrasive polishes, as they can scratch the finish.
