Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust for the 23-26 Toyota GR Corolla (1.6) is a purpose-built performance exhaust system that transforms the character of the turbocharged 1.6L. Built as a 3″ T304L stainless steel cat back exhaust system, this kit delivers a deep, full-bodied, powerful soundtrack that changes the GRC’s attitude completely — from a growling idle all the way to full-throttle. If you’ve been searching to shop for exhaust that looks factory-intended yet sounds anything but stock, this AWE-engineered car exhaust is it.
Sound Without the Drone
What sets this exhaust system apart is AWE’s patented drone-killing 180 Technology®. The Touring Edition unlocks every bit of raw nature out of the 1.6L while eliminating the drone many owners have complained about — even with the stock exhaust. The result is a rowdy, engaging tone you can actually live with on the highway, delivered through a genuine performance exhaust design rather than a compromise.
The Truth About Valves
This is a non-valved setup, and AWE deleted the valves on purpose. Once you remove the backpressure issues of the stock configuration, valves simply don’t matter — and you can’t open the factory valve yourself anyway. By deleting them, AWE saved weight, dropped the price, and focused on making the best-sounding exhaust available for the GRC. A solid, dedicated mount is built right onto the exhaust, giving you a secure location to bolt in.
Tips & Styling
AWE designed three perfectly fitting, larger tips exclusively for the GRC. The center features a bespoke 4.5″ x 8″ oval, double-walled, slash-cut tip stamped with the AWE logo, flanked left and right by two 5″ double-walled, slash-cut tips in a striking Diamond Black finish. There are no forced block-off plates and no quad setups here — just pure GR look, exactly as intended.
