Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System Kit for the Ford Explorer ST and Lincoln 3.0 transforms the 3.0LTT engine’s voice into a smooth, exotic sound signature that stands apart from conventional systems prone to degradation over time. Built as a true cat-back exhaust system, it pairs an asymmetric X-pipe with robust resonators and AWE’s patented 180 Technology® to deliver an intoxicating tone on demand while eliminating drone at cruise. There’s a reason this AWE exhaust has transcended to the kit of choice for owners who want a genuine performance exhaust without compromise.
Performance & Sound
The dyno tells all: this catback exhaust produces real-world gains of +13 hp and +12 lb-ft of torque from the 3.0LTT platform — a real, noticeable power increase. Thanks to straight-through construction and 180 Technology®, you get that added muscle without the boomy drone that plagues lesser car exhaust setups. Best of all, no tune is required to run this exhaust system, and it carries a No CEL Guarantee so you can install and drive with confidence.
Build Quality & Fitment
Meticulously crafted in-house in the USA from premium T304L stainless steel, this exhaust pipe assembly is engineered to resist the corrosion and wear that shorten the life of budget systems. Every AWE exhaust for the Explorer ST includes slip-fit adapters for seamless integration with the factory downpipes, with a genuine 3″ connection that also accommodates aftermarket upgrades down the road. A Fit Guarantee backs the straightforward, bolt-on installation, and the kit is a 50 State Legal, emissions-compliant configuration.
Tips & Options
Out back, the system finishes with four 4.5″ double-walled, slash-cut quad tips in a Chrome Silver finish. The tips are adjustable, letting you slide them in and out to dial in the perfect fit and stance behind the bumper. Choose the configuration that suits your build and give the ST the aggressive, finished look it deserves.
