Does the AWE Touring Edition Axle-Back Exhaust for the C7 Corvette work with the NPP Performance Exhaust option?

No. The AWE Touring Edition is a non-valved system and does not retain NPP functionality. Once installed, the NPP valves are removed and the infotainment exhaust mode controls will be accessible on the screen but will have no effect; the computer still registers mode changes but has nothing to act on. Multiple CorvetteForum owners confirmed this; one noted the infotainment option remains available but nothing happens when you toggle it. If retaining NPP valve functionality is a priority, valved systems from Borla or Corsa are the confirmed alternatives that retain NPP operation.

What are the AWE AFM Valve Simulators, and which C7 Corvette models require them?

The AWE AFM Valve Simulators plug into the factory harness in place of the Active Fuel Management exhaust valves and prevent the ECU from storing fault codes after those valves are removed. They are required for the 2014 through 2016 Corvette Stingray, Z51 Auto, Z51 Manual, and Grand Sport Auto models, which are equipped with AFM valves from the factory. The Z06, ZR1, and 2017 and newer Grand Sport Manual models do not have AFM valves and do not need the simulators. One owner confirmed running the AWE Touring with simulators for over 10,000 miles with zero drone and no check engine lights.

Does the AWE Touring Edition Axle-Back drone in V4 mode on AFM-equipped C7 Corvettes?

No. One confirmed owner running the AWE Touring Edition on a C7 with AFM simulators installed reported no drone whatsoever in V4 mode and no impact on fuel economy over 10,000 miles. The 180 Technology® resonator handles drone cancellation without valving, canceling the specific frequencies responsible for drone at the source. The same owner described no difference in sound between V4 and V8 mode; the system stays composed throughout.

Can I convert the AWE Touring Edition to the Track Edition later on my C7 Corvette?

Yes. AWE designed the C7 exhaust suite specifically to allow conversion between Touring and Track Editions without replacing the full system. The over-axle tubes and core hardware carry over; only the rear resonator sections change. The Track Edition removes the 180 Technology® resonators for a louder, rawer 6.2L tone at all times. An experienced CorvetteForum owner described the Track Edition as sounding significantly better than the Touring side by side, while noting drone levels vary by car configuration. The Track Edition cannot be returned for noise-related reasons.

Description

AWE Touring Edition Axle-Back Exhaust with Chrome Silver Tips for the C7 Chevrolet Corvette

The AWE Touring C7 Chrome axle-back exhaust gives the C7 Chevrolet Corvette a deeper, refined voice with an aggressive tone under throttle and no highway drone. Handcrafted in-house in the USA from 3″ CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced 0.065″ wall T304L stainless steel, it features a straight-through, non-baffled design with patented 180 Technology to cancel cabin drone while maximizing airflow. Dyno testing shows peak gains of 18hp and 16ft-lb, with maximum gains of 22hp at 6,400 rpm and 20ft-lb at 4,000 rpm at the wheels, and the system exits through 4.5″ double-walled, slash-cut chrome silver tips.

180 Technology

AWE’s patented 180 Technology uses resonators with precisely positioned ports and reflection chambers to cancel the frequencies that cause cabin drone, leaving a refined cruise and an aggressive tone under throttle.

Chrome Silver Tips

4.5″ double-walled, slash-cut tips in a chrome silver finish install with individually adjustable placement, filling the C7’s rear valance with a clean, factory-plus look.

AFM Valve Simulators Included

The system includes AWE’s AFM valve simulators, which plug into the factory harness in place of the removed Active Fuel Management exhaust valves to prevent ECU fault codes on AFM-equipped Corvettes.

Straightforward Install

The Touring Edition is a direct bolt-on to the factory mounting points. AWE backs fitment, and the system ships with a Lifetime Exhaust Warranty.

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.
