Does the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust delete the catalytic converter on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si?

No. The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust does not remove or interfere with the factory catalytic converter. The integrated 3" front pipe mates directly to the factory downpipe with the catalytic converter staying exactly where Honda put it. AWE confirms the system does not tamper with any factory emissions equipment, and independent shop inspections reported across CivicX threads back that up.

Does the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust drone at highway speeds on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si?

At steady highway cruise on a stock downpipe, traditional low-frequency drone is not a factor. Some owners notice a cabin presence in the 2,500 to 3,000 RPM range under partial throttle, which AWE explains is largely a result of the Civic Si's limited factory sound deadening rather than the exhaust itself. Adding Dynamat or Noico to the trunk floor is a straightforward fix that multiple owners have reported helps significantly. On a catted aftermarket downpipe the tone remains controlled; a catless setup will push cabin presence up more noticeably.

Can I convert the AWE Touring Edition to the Track Edition later on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si?

Yes. AWE offers conversion kits that swap out only the rear axle-back section; the integrated front pipe and mid-pipe resonator carry over unchanged. If you start with the Touring Edition and later want the louder, unfiltered L15 character of the Track Edition, the conversion kit handles that without replacing the full system. Keep in mind the Track Edition is known to get genuinely rowdy through mid-range acceleration and deceleration, and cannot be returned based on sound preference.

Description

AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust w/ Front Pipe and Dual Chrome Silver Tips for FC1 & FC3 Honda Civic Si

The AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust with Front Pipe and Dual Chrome Silver Tips is designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at AWE in the USA, handcrafted from 3″ CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel with .065″ wall thickness sourced domestically. The clean, straight-through design keeps airflow unrestricted, and the system installs as a direct bolt-on with no cutting or modification needed. The modular tip design is worth noting; it allows easy interchangeability between dual and tri tip configurations, so the look of the rear of the car can be changed without swapping the whole system. The bespoke stamped stainless steel trident tip merge ties the rear end together, and max gains come in at 6 hp and 1 ft-lb of torque at the wheels.

Touring Edition Exhaust

The Touring Edition is a full 3″ downpipe-back system built from T304L stainless steel, combining an integrated front pipe and a custom mid pipe resonator with AWE’s patented 180 Technology® to produce a deep, full-bodied L15 tone that stays completely free of drone at highway speeds. Get into boost and the exhaust note builds with the engine; settle into a cruise and the cabin stays composed. It’s a straight-through design that handles both ends of the driving experience without asking you to compromise on either one.

What is 180 Technology?

Exhaust gases carry sound waves through the system, and those waves reflect off the walls of the chambers as they pass through. AWE’s acoustic engineers work out the size and placement of the ports and chambers based on the specific sound targets for each vehicle, and those choices determine exactly when the reflected waves cycle back into the main exhaust stream. That re-entry timing is the mechanism behind the whole thing; it produces a sound wave running 180 degrees out of phase with the unwanted frequencies, and they get canceled out before the exhaust reaches the tips.

Can I switch from dual tips to triple tips on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si with this system? Yes. AWE’s modular tip design is built specifically for this; swapping between dual and triple tip configurations takes minutes using an AWE Tip Conversion Kit. The bespoke stamped stainless steel trident tip merge is designed to accept both configurations, and the 4.5″ double-walled slash-cut tips in chrome silver are individually adjustable for bumper depth and stagger.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
