Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning 09-12 Porsche 911 (3.6, 3.8) Exhaust Pipe is a Performance Edition Cross Over mid pipe engineered for 997.2 owners who want to eliminate the OE rear center muffler without sacrificing power. Built from durable T304L stainless steel, this exhaust pipe replaces the restrictive factory center muffler and gives exhaust gas the smoothest, straightest path possible on its way out of the car. The result is a lighter, better-flowing performance exhaust that wakes up the tone of your 911.
With the OE rear center muffler in place, entering exhaust gas is forced into a tight-radius u-turn before exiting from the same side of the muffler. That turn hurts exhaust flow and robs power. This AWE Cross Over Pipe completely removes the center rear muffler from the exhaust flow equation, so your engine can breathe freely through a proper performance exhaust system.
Key Benefits
Unlike an X-Pipe, which many enthusiasts avoid because of the slight loss of power it can create, the AWE Cross Over design is built to add power while shedding weight and sharpening sound. It delivers documented gains of 5 horsepower and 5 lb-ft of torque at the crank, along with a weight savings of 6.5 lbs compared to the OE center muffler. It’s an affordable, simple-to-install upgrade that pays real dividends every time you get on the throttle.
