Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Tread Edition Exhaust System Kit brings precision engineering to the dirt for the 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler (Sport Utility, 3.6L, 4WD). Billed as one of the Best Sounding Exhausts on the Planet™ for the JK/JKU platform, this axle-back exhaust system is handcrafted from US-made 3″ and 2.5″ T304L stainless steel, delivering rugged durability and a signature exhaust note that sounds great no matter where the trail takes you.
Designed as a straight-through, axle-back configuration, the Tread Edition is built for drivers who want real performance exhaust character without giving up daily-drivability. It ships as a complete exhaust system kit with a Fit Guarantee, requires no tune, and carries a No CEL Guarantee, so installation and ownership stay hassle-free.
Drone-Free 180 Technology®
At the heart of this car exhaust upgrade is AWE’s patented, drone-canceling 180 Technology®. It gives the JK/JKU a sophisticated, full-bodied soundtrack that’s completely controllable through the throttle. Lay into the accelerator and the Wrangler roars with aggression; settle into a highway cruise and the cabin stays free of drone, with volume similar to stock. That balance is exactly what makes this exhaust system so easy to live with every day while still rewarding you when you want it.
Tips & Finish
Say goodbye to the ugly factory suitcase muffler and dangling tail pipe. The Tread Edition finishes with dual 4.5″ double-walled, slash-cut tips. This configuration features the Diamond Black finish for an aggressive, blacked-out look that complements the rugged aesthetic of the Wrangler. With two tips and a 3″ tubing diameter feeding a straight-through path, the setup looks as purposeful as it sounds.
