Step 1
Installation of the AWE performance exhaust system is the reverse of the removal of the OEM exhaust.

Always refer to the manufacturer service manual for precise torque specifications on all OEM fasteners.

If you intend to install an AWE Tuning Performance Downpipe or any other brand downpipe at the same time as your cat back exhaust system, it is recommended that you install the downpipe first to make cat back alignment easier.

If you are installing an AWE Tuning Performance Downpipe, discard the supplied mating adapter for the stock downpipe (Part LG) and use the mating coupler supplied with the AWE Tuning downpipe. If you are re-using the factory downpipe, attach the supplied mating adapter for the stock downpipe (Part LG) to the inlet of the AWE Tuning exhaust and fasten with a supplied 3.0” Accu- Seal Clamp. Tighten clamp fastener to 40 ft/lbs. Mate the AWE Tuning exhaust to the factory downpipe re-using the factory sleeve clamp.

Step 2
Assemble AWE Tuning exhaust on the car, using the supplied 3.0” Accu-Seal clamps at each slip joint. Leave the clamps loose until adjustments are complete. Install supplied exhaust tips, using the supplied t-bolt clamps. Adjust rear tip outlet section so that tips are properly centered in valance openings. Center the exhaust tips in the valence cut outs by sliding the entire exhaust system left or right on the factory rubber hangers. Once tips are centered tighten down all Accu-Seal clamps to 40 ft/lbs. Rotate and adjust tip depth then tighten down t-bolt clamps.

Step 3
For the best tip fitment, align the barrel style tip clamp to cover only the slot, shown by Arrow A Torque the tip clamp to 18 ft./Ibs.

NOTES:

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

Step 4
It is crucial to install each section and exhaust band clamps correctly to prevent loose joints, exhaust leaks and rattles.

Arrow A shows the expanded pipe and the preinstalled exhaust clam

Arrow B shows the overlapping pipe installed correctly over the corresponding pipe.

Arrow C shows the exhaust band clamp being brought to the edge of the expanded pipe.

NOTES:

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

**Step 5

For the rear sections, hanger bar collar clamps are provided to prevent side to side movement of the exhaust system. After sliding the exhaust hanger bar through the OEM grommet, install the collar clamp on the outside end of the bar as shown in Figure 5

TROBLESHOOTING

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.
