AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System w/ Diamond Black Tips for DE5 Acura Integra Type S

AWE Tuning’s Touring Edition Exhaust for the Integra DE5 is a 3” T304L stainless steel downpipe-back system engineered for a balance of performance and refinement. Its straight-through design includes an integrated front pipe, a thick-walled mid-pipe resonator, and AWE’s custom 180 Technology in the rear, delivering a deep, clean exhaust note without cabin drone at highway speeds. By channeling exhaust gases through precision-engineered ports and reflection chambers, the system creates out-of-phase sound waves that cancel unwanted frequencies while maintaining full flow. The result is an exhaust that enhances the K20 engine’s performance, provides high-speed stability in tone, and fits seamlessly whether paired with a stock or aftermarket catted downpipe.

Touring Edition Exhaust

• At the intersection of sophistication and aggression lies the Touring Edition Exhaust. A  3” T304L stainless steel downpipe-back configuration, the Touring Edition Exhaust is the perfect dose of steel for drivers looking for straight-pipe performance, a deep, sophisticated exhaust note, and zero drone at highway speeds.
• Featuring an integrated frontpipe, bespoke midpipe resonator, and AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, the Touring Edition delivers a full-bodied, rasp-free K20 soundtrack unachieved by any of its peers. Under boost and heavy throttle, the Touring Edition screams. At highway speeds, drone-free within the cabin which gives the best of both worlds. Perfectly engineered and packaged for the DE5 Acura Integra Type S, all backed by AWE No CEL and Perfect Fitment Guarantees.
• As exhaust gases exit the K20 engine and flow into an AWE 180 Technology equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, AWE can also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. All of this with a straight-through design. In other words, all the power, none of the drone.

DualPhase Mid Pipe

• The AWE DualPhase Mid Pipe is engineered to pair with aftermarket downpipes for enhanced exhaust performance, while also delivering a refined, OEM-level sound experience when used with the factory downpipe. Designed to further develop the K20 exhaust note both inside and outside the cabin, this system provides a noticeable improvement in sound quality when combined with aftermarket downpipes. Available as a standalone conversion kit for existing Touring Edition Exhaust systems, it is also offered as a complete package through the Touring Edition with DualPhase Mid Pipe configuration, providing flexible options to suit a range of build preferences.

What is 180 Technology?

• AWE Tuning’s patented 180 Technology works as follows: As exhaust gases exit the engine and flow into a resonator equipped with AWE’s 180 Technology, they pass through strategically located ports and into reflection chambers. Sound waves carried by these exhaust gases bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. Depending on the sound requirements of each vehicle, AWE’s acoustic engineers adjust the size and location of the ports and chambers. By controlling these key elements, AWE Tuning can manage when the sound waves exit the chambers. The precise timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies.
• Consistency Through Change:
  • AWE’s 180 Technology is not based on a “one size fits all” concept. Instead, AWE engineers design sound-canceling resonators based on the specific acoustics generated by different vehicle types, ensuring perfect sound every time. This approach is one reason AWE exhausts have earned a reputation for delivering the perfect tone, regardless of the application.
• What It Means to You:
  • The result? The elimination of unwanted tones in all AWE 180 Technology-equipped exhaust systems. The sound produced by this technology is the perfect, signature note, providing unlocked performance and spot-on tone every time.

Front Pipes

• The exhaust system features a full 3” front pipe with a unique flange and gasket, ensuring a consistent diameter from inlet to outlet. This integrated front pipe is compatible with both aftermarket and factory downpipes.

Exhaust Tips

• Each exhaust system is equipped with three 4.5” double-walled, slash-cut tips, available in chrome silver or diamond black, each featuring a stamped AWE logo. The tips are individually adjustable, allowing for customization of their depth into the bumper based on personal preference.

Nope, It’s Not Valved

• During research and development, AWE conducted an extensive evaluation of the factory valve’s behavior under various driving conditions. They determined that there is no significant change in volume between modes requiring a valve. The valve remains closed only in comfort mode, opening upon reaching a throttle threshold. In Sport and Sport+ modes, the valve stays open, with Sport+ introducing burbles from the ECU. In the stock configuration, the exhaust routes through the side mufflers when the valve is closed to reduce interior volume and drone-prone frequencies, and through the center when the valve is open.

Conversion Kits

• AWE has made it simple to convert between Track and Touring Editions if a change in interior volume is desired later.
