AWE Tuning Touring Edition Exhaust System w/ Chrome Silver 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 designed for refined, straight-through performance without cabin drone. Its integrated front pipe, thick-walled mid-pipe resonator, and custom rear 180 Technology manage exhaust flow and sound, producing a deep, controlled note while canceling highway drone. The system channels gases through precision ports and reflection chambers, creating out-of-phase waves that neutralize problematic frequencies, ensuring full power delivery and clean tone. Engineered for use with or without an aftermarket catted downpipe, it balances performance, drivability, and reliability in a package tailored to the K20 engine.

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.

What is 180 Technology?

• AWE Tuning’s patented 180 Technology operates in the following manner: 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 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.
• 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.
