PRO-TIP: Installation of any exhaust should be performed by an experienced professional with the necessary equipment and know-how to effectively complete the install.

STEP 1
NOTE: The factory exhaust will need to be CUT from the car to install the AWE Performance Exhaust System, unless the 2nd Cat-delete Kit (3010-11096) has been purchased.
Always refer to the manufacturer service manual for precise torque specifications on all OEM fasteners.
WARNING: Allow the exhaust ample time to cool; serious injury and burns can occur if handled at operating temperature.
NPP Equipped Only: Locate and unplug the factory valve control harnesses from the factory valve control motors, driver side location shown by the arrow in Figure 1-1, second motor is in the same location on passenger side.
Loosen and remove the chassis brace, shown by the arrow in Figure 1-2.

STEP 2
NOTE: Prior to exhaust removal, be sure the system is properly supported with pole jacks or recruit an extra set of hands to help.
Locate and spray the factory hanger bracket bolts with a penetrant oil to assist in removal, location shown by Arrows A in Figure 2.
Spray the hanger post and bushings with the same penetrant oil, locations shown by Arrows B in Figure 2.

STEP 3
Secondary Cat-delete Kit installation only: If the cat-back system has been purchased, skip to Step 4.
Locate and spray the factory clamp bolt with a penetrant oil to assist in removal, location shown by Arrows A in Figure 3.
Spray the flange bolts and post-cat O2 sensor with the same penetrant oil, locations shown by Arrows B in Figure 3.
Loosen and remove the hardware and O2 sensor.
The factory exhaust is ready to be removed, skip to Step 5.
PRO-TIP: O2 sensors are important to how the car manages engine power; during removal, take measures to insure they do not get damaged or contaminated with dirt or debris.

STEP 4
Marking & Cutting the Factory Exhaust:
PRO-TIPS:

• Use a metal-cutting saw or a chain-style pipe cutter to make the cuts outlined below.
• Masking tape can help provide a guide to make a straight cut.

Cutting the DRIVER side exhaust tube:
Measure from the edge of the weld, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 4-1.
Measuring 3-inches back (towards the rear of the car) from the weld, and mark with tape or a marker, as shown by Arrows B in Figure 4-1.
Cutting the PASSENGER side exhaust tube:
Measure from the edge of the weld, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 4-2.
Measuring 4-inches back (towards the rear of the car) and mark with tape or a marker, as shown by Arrows B in Figure 4-2.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best fitment and seal, these cuts must be as straight as possible.

STEP 5
NOTE: Use a pole-jack or another person to help remove the factory exhaust.
If Step 3 was performed: Cut the bracket that secures the driver side clamp onto the outlet tube from the primary catalytic converter, located by the arrow, closer to the heat shielding, in Figure 5-1.
Exhaust removal: Remove the rear muffler brackets and separate the bushings that were called out in Step 2, this will allow the factory exhaust to be removed from the vehicle.
If Step 4 was performed: Deburr the cut ends of the factory exhaust system, shown by the arrow in Figure 5-2.
For NPP installations: Before installing the AWE Performance Exhaust, use an electrical tape to seal the open ends of the valve motor harnesses that were disconnected in Step 1.
Secure each harness up and out of the path of potential hot exhaust components or moisture.

STEP 6
Installing the AWE Performance Cat-Back System:
Place the included 2.75” Accu-Seal clamp over the inlet of the driver side mid-pipe section (part B13 or B20) and installonto the corresponding outlet from the factory exhaust, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 6.
Place the final 2.75” Accu-Seal clamp over the inlet of the passenger side mid-pipe section (part B14 or B21) and install onto the corresponding outlet from the factory exhaust, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 6.
NOTE: DO NOT torque any clamps until the entire system has been installed and adjusted.

STEP 7
Use two (2) of the included 3.0” Accu-Seal clamps to install the X-pipe section (part B15).
Orient the clamps so that once the X-pipe is installed the clamps clear the chassis brace and are rotated as high as possible, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 7-1.
NOTE: Orienting the clamps correctly is needed in order to maintain current ground clearance. Ground contact may occur if the clamps are incorrectly placed.
Insert the posts, located at the outlet ends of the X-pipe section, into the hanger bushings as shown by the arrows in Figure 7-2.
Reinstall the chassis brace, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 7-1.
Torque all five (5) bolts for the chassis brace to factory specification.

STEP 8
Place an included 3.0” Accu-Seal clamp over the driver side tailpipe section (part B16, B18, B22 or B24) and install onto the corresponding outlet on the X-pipe section, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 8.
Place the final 3.0” Accu-Seal clamp over the inlet side of the passenger side tailpipe section (part B17, B19, B23 or B24) and install onto the corresponding outlet on the X-pipe section, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 8.

STEP 9
Transfer the hanger brackets from the factory muffler to the corresponding AWE Tailpipe Sections, as shown by the arrow in Figure 9.
NOTE: The factory hanger brackets are driver and passenger side specific, mixing them up will cause a fitment issue.

STEP 10
Reinstall the factory nuts to secure the hanger brackets intothe original location, driver side shown by the arrow in Figure 10.
Torque to factory specification.

STEP 11
Insert the hanger bar, shown by Arrow A in Figure 11, into the factory hanger bushing shown by Arrow B.
Repeat for passenger side.

STEP 12
It is crucial to install each section and Accu-Seal clamp correctly to prevent loose joints and exhaust leaks between the tubing connections.
Arrow A in Figure 12 shows the expanded pipe and the preinstalled Accu-Seal clamp being brought up to the corresponding pipe.
Arrow B in Figure 12 shows the overlapping pipe installed correctly over the corresponding pipe.
Arrow C in Figure 12 shows the Accu-Seal clamp being brought to the edge of the expanded pipe.
NOTES:

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

STEP 13
To install the exhaust tips with integrated clamps, first, attach the exhaust tip in the proper orientation onto the exhaust outlet tube.
Insert one of the carriage bolts from the hardware kit (3910-41010) through the tab on the exhaust tip and thread on one of the corresponding nuts.
Using anti-seize on the bolt threads will help installation and prevent breakage of hardware.
If exhaust system only has 2 exhaust tips while the integrated clamp kit has enough hardware for our 4 tip exhaust systems. You will have 2 sets of hardware left over that will not be used.

STEP 14
Using the integrated clamp kit, install the 4.5” slash-cut tips as shown in Figure 14.
Do not torque the clamps until completely satisfied with placement.

STEP 15
Once tip and tailpipe alignment is satisfactory, torque the Accu-Seal clamps to specification, followed by the tip clamps.
Installation is complete!

ENJOY!

TROBULESHOOTING

adjusted exhaust. This includes tip fitments and rattling due to chassis contact. Check out our fitment guide for more installation tips.
Incorrect 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.

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.
