Description
Overview
The 16-18 Ford Focus RS Touring Edition Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning sits at the intersection of sophisticated and aggressive. Engineered specifically for the Mk3 Focus RS Hatchback with the 2.3L AWD platform, this cat back exhaust is a direct bolt-on, straight-through, drone-free masterpiece. It is built to deliver refined performance, purposeful sound, and precise fitment — everything you want from a premium performance exhaust upgrade.
Civil while cruising on the highway and aggressive when you need it, the Touring Edition gives you loud, sharp pops and crackles accessible at any time. AWE’s proprietary drone-canceling 180 Technology® produces a drone-free, aggressive tone throughout the entire rev range, so you get the character you crave without the fatiguing highway drone that plagues lesser exhaust systems.
Key Benefits
Constructed from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 3-inch tubing, this exhaust system is designed for long-term durability and consistent flow. It requires no tune, carries a No CEL Guarantee, and is backed by a Fit Guarantee — so bolting on this catback exhaust is a straightforward, confidence-inspiring upgrade. It is also 50 State Legal, making it a smart choice whether you shop for exhaust performance or everyday drivability.

Resonated or Non-Resonated Options
The Touring Edition is available as resonated or non-resonated. AWE recommends the resonated configuration to achieve the perfect drone-free setup, while the non-resonated option is available for those who crave extra volume in the mid range. Choose the configuration that matches how you drive and the sound you want from your car exhaust.
Tips & Conversion Paths
All tip options include the AWE logo and double walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. Each tip is individually adjustable, letting you set the depth into the bumper according to personal taste. And if you ever decide it’s too loud or too quiet, perfectly engineered upgrade paths let you convert your Touring Edition to a Track Edition, or vice versa, with ease — simply unclamp and swap.
Fitment
This exhaust pipe kit is engineered for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS Hatchback with the 2.3L engine and AWD drivetrain. As a true cat back exhaust system, it’s a direct bolt-on replacement backed by AWE’s Fit Guarantee. Whether you’re comparing it to a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, MagnaFlow exhaust, or Walker exhaust, the Touring Edition delivers performance, sound, fitment, and options in one complete package.
