AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust for C8 Corvette - Chrome Silver Tips (3015-42151)

Presenting the Best Sounding Exhausts on the Planet for the C8 Corvette: At the intersection of sophistication and aggression lies the Touring Edition Exhaust. A dual 3" T304L stainless steel cat-back configuration, the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust is the perfect dose of steel for drivers looking for straight-pipe performance without sacrificing perfect daily drivability: a deep, sophisticated, exotic exhaust note with zero drone at highway speeds - and V4 mode! Thanks to the asymmetric design, the number of necessary bends is minimized, thus removing the unwanted restriction in flow while facilitating impressive gains across the entire powerband. Paired with robust internally lined stainless steel flex sections upstream, engine movement is significantly isolated, enabling life-long durability for peace of mind. Going the asymmetric approach also allowed us the opportunity of creating a bespoke cross-over section with entries from both the top and the bottom. Doing this we're able to achieve a rich and aggressive exhaust note out of the LT2 whether it be at idle, rev, or WOT. Beyond the unique crossover, the Touring Edition brings up the rear in proper fashion by featuring AWE's patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology, which targets and omits drone-prone frequencies while defeating the dreaded in-cabin tone change when switching between V4 and V8 modes. What's this mean for you? You'll be tuned into a pure, full-bodied LT2 soundtrack unlike any other without sacrificing in-cabin refinement, all while saving 31 lbs over stock. As a finishing touch, the included aluminum heat shield bolts to the bumper (via factory mounting locations) and resides neatly behind the exhaust, out of sight, with only an AWE logo showing through the rear mesh to let everyone know what team you're on. Why'd we go with an aluminum solution versus a heat blanket? Heat blankets are susceptible to waterlogging and material breakdown over extended periods of time.

By crafting the headshield out of aluminum, it provides a true, lifetime solution. Valve simulators: AWE has engineered an electronic solution to simulate both AFM and NPP valves, resulting in the ECU remaining happy, allowing the C8 Corvette to operate at full stride with no CELs and maximum peace of mind. Each kit includes two pairs - one for AFM, and the other for NPP. If your C8 does not have NPP, only one pair will be used. Purely plug-in and rip! Tip Options: The Touring Edition Exhausts feature statement-making quad 4.5" tips, double-walled, slash-cut tips in either chrome silver or diamond black, complete with a stamped AWE logo.

AWE's patented 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. AWE 180 Technology is not on a one size fits all" concept. Rather, AWE engineers design sound cancelation 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. 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.

The AWE No Check Engine Light Guarantee offers peace of mind against the appearance of Check Engine Lights when products are installed properly and used as intended, on vehicles with no additional modifications (with the exception of other AWE products intended to work with the product in question). No problems, no lights. Easy.
