Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Tread Edition Exhaust System Kit is engineered specifically for the 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler (Sport Utility, 3.6L, 4WD), delivering a rugged, purpose-built upgrade for the JK/JKU platform. Billed by AWE as one of the Best Sounding Exhausts on the Planet™, this axle-back exhaust system replaces the factory suitcase muffler and dangling tail pipe with a handcrafted, straight-through design that looks as serious as it sounds. If you’ve been searching for a performance exhaust that pairs off-road toughness with everyday manners, this is a car exhaust built to do both.
Key Benefits
At the heart of the Tread Edition is AWE’s patented, drone-canceling 180 Technology®, which gives the Wrangler a sophisticated, full-bodied soundtrack that’s completely controllable via the throttle. Dig into the pedal and the JK/JKU roars with aggression; settle into a highway cruise and the cabin stays free of drone, with volume similar to stock. That balance makes this catback-style axle-back setup ideal for daily-drivability without sacrificing character. Because no tune is required and it carries a No CEL Guarantee, installation is refreshingly straightforward.
Every component is handcrafted from US-made T304L stainless steel using 3″ and 2.5″ tubing in a straight-through configuration, so you get long-term durability and consistent flow. Bringing up the rear are dual 4.5″ double-walled, slash-cut tips available in Chrome Silver, adding a finished, aggressive look that ditches the ugly stock hardware for good.
