Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Ford, Lincoln (3.0) Exhaust System Kit is a purpose-built Cat Back performance exhaust engineered to transform the sound and power delivery of the 3.0LTT engine found in the Ford Explorer ST. Built as the Touring Edition, this straight-through car exhaust generates a smooth, exotic sound signature that distinguishes itself from conventional exhaust systems prone to degradation over time. Featuring an asymmetric X-pipe and robust resonators, it delivers a refined tone that stands apart from ordinary aftermarket setups.
There’s a reason this exhaust has transcended to the kit of choice. When you shop for exhaust upgrades that combine real gains with everyday livability, the AWE Touring Edition answers with dyno-proven results: real-world gains of +13 hp and +12 lb-ft of torque. That’s a genuine, noticeable power increase — not marketing fluff. Best of all, AWE’s patented 180 Technology® effectively eliminates drone without sacrificing performance, so you get the aggressive character you want at wide-open throttle and quiet comfort at cruise.
Key Benefits
This complete exhaust system arrives with slip-fit adapters that ensure seamless integration with factory downpipes and easily accommodate aftermarket upgrades, all through a genuine 3″ connection. The 3″ tubing diameter promotes efficient flow, while the entire exhaust pipe assembly is crafted from premium T304L Stainless Steel for lasting durability. Every kit is meticulously manufactured in-house in the USA.
