Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System Kit for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS sits at the intersection of sophisticated and aggressive. Engineered as a direct bolt-on for the Mk3 Focus RS hatchback (2.3, AWD), this cat back exhaust system is a straight-through, drone-free masterpiece built to deliver performance, sound, fitment, and options in one package. Fabricated from durable T304L stainless steel with 3-inch tubing, it is designed to breathe freely while standing up to the demands of hard driving.
What sets this performance exhaust apart is AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®. It produces a drone-free, aggressive tone across the entire rev range — civil while cruising on the highway, and aggressive the moment you get on the throttle. Loud, sharp pops and crackles are accessible at any time, giving your Focus RS a voice that matches its attitude.
Key Benefits
This is a valveless, tune-not-required exhaust system that simply bolts on and delivers. Because it is designed with a No CEL Guarantee and a Fit Guarantee, you can install with confidence knowing the exhaust pipe geometry is engineered specifically for your car. It also carries a 50 State Legal voluntary label, so this car exhaust upgrade is street-friendly wherever you drive.
