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

No. The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust for the FC1/FC3 Civic Si retains the factory catalytic converter in full. The system includes an integrated 3" front pipe that mates directly to the factory downpipe, and the catalytic converter remains in its stock position. Multiple forum owners and a shop confirmation from CivicX threads have verified this; no emissions equipment is removed with this installation.

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

AWE designed the 180 Technology® resonator specifically to cancel drone-prone L15 frequencies at the source, and the goal is a drone-free cabin at highway cruise. Forum owners running the Touring Edition on a stock downpipe consistently report that the system delivers on that; aggressive under boost and heavy throttle, composed on the highway. The 180 Technology® resonators in this system use no packing material, so the tone and drone characteristics do not change over time the way packed mufflers do.

Can I use an aftermarket front pipe from another brand with the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si?

No. AWE exhausts are not designed to mate with aftermarket front pipes from other manufacturers. The system includes AWE's own integrated 3" front pipe, and that pipe is a confirmed part of the complete exhaust configuration. Owners who previously had a front pipe from another brand installed, including 27won and PRL units, removed it before installing the AWE system. The AWE front pipe mates to the factory downpipe, and that is the correct configuration.

Can I switch from the Touring Edition to the Track Edition later on the FC1/FC3 Civic Si?

Yes. AWE designed the FC1/FC3 exhaust suite to be modular, and conversion between Touring and Track Editions is handled through AWE's own conversion kits. The front pipe, mid-pipe resonator, and core hardware stay in place; only the rear section changes between configurations. Keep in mind the Track Edition removes the 180 Technology® resonator entirely for a raw, unfiltered L15 tone at all speeds, and AWE does not accept returns based on sound preference for that configuration.

Description

AWE Touring Edition Exhaust w/ Triple Chrome Silver Tips for FC1 & FC3 Honda Civic Si

AWE Civic Si touring exhaust 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. Every edition includes an integrated front pipe, and the system installs as a direct bolt-on with no cutting or modification. AWE’s patented 180 Technology, tuned specifically for the L15 engine, keeps drone out of the cabin while still delivering a sound worth noticing. The bespoke stamped stainless-steel trident-tip merge gives the rear of the car a clean, purposeful look, with max gains of 6hp and 1ft-lb of torque at the wheels.

Touring Edition Exhaust

The Touring Edition is a full 3″ downpipe-back system built from T304L stainless steel, pairing an integrated front pipe and custom mid-pipe resonator with 180 Technology for a completely drone-free cruise. Under boost, the L15 tone is present and aggressive; back off on the highway and the cabin stays quiet. It’s a straight-through design that refuses to make you choose between performance and comfort.

What is 180 Technology?

Sound waves travel with the exhaust gases and reflect off the chamber walls as they move through the system. AWE’s acoustic engineers set the size and placement of the ports and chambers around the sound targets for each vehicle, and those dimensions control exactly when the reflected waves feed back into the main stream. Correct timing produces a wave 180 degrees out of phase with the problem frequencies, canceling them before the exhaust ever exits the system.

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.
