Description
Overview
The Audi (Hatchback/Sedan – 4.0 – AWD) Exhaust System Kit from AWE Tuning is a purpose-built Conversion Kit designed for owners who love the full-bodied 4.0T tone of the Track Edition but want to eliminate unwanted cabin drone on the highway. Rather than replacing your entire setup, this kit converts your existing AWE Track Edition Cat Back into a Touring Edition by swapping in 180 Technology® axlebacks in place of the Track Edition straight-sections. The result is a refined, livable character that keeps the aggressive personality you already invested in.
Key Benefits
At the heart of this exhaust system is AWE’s proprietary 180 Technology®, which is engineered to cancel drone-producing sound waves before they reach the cabin. That means you can enjoy a genuine performance exhaust experience on spirited drives while cruising in comfort during the daily commute. Because this is a bolt-in conversion, no tune is required and there is a No CEL Guarantee, so you can install with confidence knowing your factory electronics remain happy.
Built from durable T304L Stainless Steel with 2.5 inch tubing, this exhaust pipe hardware is designed for long-term corrosion resistance and consistent performance. AWE Tuning backs the kit with a Fit Guarantee, and it carries a Voluntary Label rating it as 50 State Legal — a meaningful detail when you shop for exhaust upgrades that need to stay compliant.

The Conversion Explained
This kit is specifically a Conversion Edition. It is intended for drivers who already run the AWE Track Edition Cat Back and want to transform its behavior. By removing the Track Edition straight-sections and installing the 180 Technology® axlebacks, you shift the exhaust’s tuning from track-focused aggression toward a more touring-friendly demeanor — without losing the deep, characterful tone that made you choose an AWE catback exhaust in the first place.
Fitment
This exhaust system kit is designed for the Audi (Hatchback/Sedan – 4.0 – AWD) platform and requires an existing AWE Track Edition Cat Back to complete the conversion. If you’re comparing options against a Borla exhaust, Corsa exhaust, or Magnaflow exhaust, the AWE Touring conversion stands apart by letting you refine the exhaust you already own rather than starting over. Choose this route when you want a quieter, drone-free performance exhaust that keeps the full 4.0T soundtrack intact.
