Dodge Charger Track and Touring Exhaust Parts

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.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

STEP 1

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

Unplug the 2 valve motors from the OEM harness.
Remove the 2 OEM chassis braces, set these to the side to be reinstalled with your AWE exhaust.
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 down pipes.
NOTE : Uninstall all 4 OEM exhaust hangers as these will be used while install your AWE exhaust. Do not mix up the original locations the hangers came from.

STEP 2

Start installing your AWE exhaust by placing 2 provided exhaust clamps onto the DP side of the Hpipe 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

Re-install the 2 OEM chassis braces with the hardware fully tightened on brace B and hand tight on brace A, as shown in Figure 3.
Note : This is to aid in a correct alignment.

STEP 4

Install the mid sections of your AWE exhaust using 2 of the provided exhaust clamps. Slip the tube onto the H-pipe. With the OEM hangers removed earlier in place, rotate the mount into place and reinstall the OEM bolts, as shown in Figure 4.

STEP 5

Install the rear sections of your AWE exhaust using 2 of the supplied exhaust clamp 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 AWE exhaust tips, with the clamps snug, not fully tightened, as shown in Figure 7.
Use anti-seize in the threads of the clamps.

STEP 8

To accomplish the best tip fitment, align the 3.0” 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

Align the AWE exhaust up in the chassis, working from the front to the back of the car, checking for proper tube clearance to any body part, as you move back tighten the exhaust clamps, to at least 60ft-lbs.
The exhaust will have good clearness to brace B, but may be touching brace A, as shown in Figure 9.

STEP 10

With your AWE exhaust installed correctly, remove the rear brace and gather the supplied hardware and spacers, shown in Figure 10-1. Install the rear brace with the spacers in place and tighten, as shown in Figure 10-2.

STEP 11

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

STEP 12

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 13

With the dowels attached to the 2 valve motors, gather the supplied brackets and bolts, as shown in Figure 13-1. Attach the valve motors to the brackets, as shown in Figure 13-2.

STEP 14

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 14-1 and 14-2.

STEP 15

Use a supplied cable tie to secure the wire loom coming out of the passenger side trunk area away from the exhaust as shown in Figure 15.

STEP 16

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. Using anti-seize on the threads and tighten to at least 60 ft- lbs. If you have a broken or incorrect clamp, please visit clamp comer.

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.
