Description
Overview
The 20-26 Jeep Gladiator Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a Tread-to-Trail Edition Conversion Kit engineered for owners who need maximum exhaust clearance on the trail. Rather than replacing your entire system, this conversion swaps your existing Tread Edition tailpipe section for a Trail Edition turndown section that ends right after the rear axle, tucking the exhaust pipe up and out of the way of danger when the terrain gets serious.
Built from durable T304L stainless steel with a 3-inch tubing diameter, this performance exhaust is designed to hold up to the abuse of off-road driving while keeping your Gladiator’s underbody clean and protected. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust upgrades that combine real-world function with proper fitment, this AWE Tuning exhaust system delivers a purpose-built solution.
Key Benefits
The Trail Edition turndown geometry repositions the exit so your car exhaust no longer hangs low behind the vehicle, dramatically reducing the risk of trail damage. Because it’s a conversion kit, you retain the core of your existing setup and only change the tailpipe section, making this a smart, focused upgrade for anyone chasing added ground clearance. Best of all, no tune is required and there’s no check-engine-light risk, so installation keeps things simple.

Why the Conversion Kit?
This exhaust system kit is purpose-designed as a Tread-to-Trail conversion. It does not add exhaust valves and does not use 180 Technology — instead it focuses on one job and does it well: relocating your tailpipe to a protected turndown position after the rear axle. That makes it an ideal companion for owners who already run the Tread Edition system and want to shift toward a trail-ready configuration without starting from scratch.
Fitment
Engineered specifically for the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator, this catback-style tailpipe conversion is covered by AWE Tuning’s Fit Guarantee, so you can order with confidence that it bolts up to your platform. Whether you’re comparing a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, MagnaFlow exhaust, or Walker exhaust, the AWE Tuning approach here is different — it’s a targeted clearance solution rather than a full system replacement.
For Gladiator owners who spend real time off-road, this AWE performance exhaust conversion protects your investment and keeps your exhaust pipe tucked where it belongs.
