AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust w/Front Pipe and Triple Black Diamond Tips for FK8 Civic Type R

The AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust for the FK8 Civic Type R pairs a front pipe with a DualPhase mid-pipe and triple black diamond tips to deliver a more aggressive, unfiltered exhaust experience. Its dual-phase design allows the system to open fully under load, producing a sharp, commanding note that emphasizes the car’s turbo response, while minimizing restrictions for improved flow. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the system is built for durability and resistance to corrosion, with the triple black tips providing a purposeful, stealthy finish at the rear. Designed to complement the Civic Type R’s factory turbo setup, it prioritizes throttle response and mid-to-high RPM performance, making it a focused option for track-minded enthusiasts who value sound and efficiency over subdued refinement.

Track Edition Exhaust

What is 180 Technology?

• AWE’s 180 Technology routes exhaust gases through a resonator with precisely positioned ports leading into reflection chambers, where the sound waves carried by the exhaust bounce off the chamber walls
• The size and placement of ports and chambers are tuned for each application to control when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow
• Reflected waves meet the main flow 180 degrees out of phase, canceling frequencies that typically cause drone or harsh tones
• Each system is engineered for the specific acoustics of the vehicle rather than using a universal design, ensuring consistent, balanced sound across different setups
• The result is a controlled, clean exhaust note that eliminates unwanted tones while preserving performance

Exhaust Tips

• Each system comes with three 4.5” double-walled, slash-cut tips in either chrome silver or diamond black, each stamped with the AWE logo. The tips can be individually adjusted, letting you set how far they extend into the bumper to suit your preference.

Nope, It’s Not Valved

• During development, AWE thoroughly analyzed how the factory exhaust valve operates under different driving conditions and found that overall volume doesn’t change significantly between modes that use the valve. The valve stays closed only in Comfort mode, opening once a specific throttle threshold is reached. In Sport and Sport+ modes, it remains open, with Sport+ adding ECU-controlled burbles. In the stock setup, closing the valve directs exhaust through the side mufflers to reduce cabin volume and minimize drone, while opening it routes flow through the center section.

Conversion Kits

• AWE designed the system so switching between Track and Touring Editions is straightforward if you want to adjust cabin sound levels later.
