180 Technology®
AWE’s patented 180 Technology® uses physics, not packing or baffles, to cancel highway drone. Sound waves enter strategically placed reflection chambers tuned to produce waves 180° out of phase with drone frequencies. The result: a straight-through exhaust with zero flow restriction that stays quiet at cruise and aggressive under throttle.
Sound Character
SwitchPath™ valve system gives on-demand control: Touring mode (180 Technology® drone cancellation) for daily driving, Track mode (straight-pipe) for aggressive sound when you want it. Switch while driving.

Touring Edition

SwitchPath™
Driver-controlled valve: Touring mode for daily, Track mode for the track. Best of both editions in one system.
