AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust System w/ Chrome Silver Tips for DE5 Acura Integra Type S

The AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust for the DE5 Acura Integra Type S is built for drivers who want the most aggressive sound the platform can produce, without any filtering. It shares the same integrated front pipe, mid-pipe resonator, and precision engineering as the Touring Edition, but drops the 180 Technology resonator at the rear in favor of a straight section. That omission is the point; the Track Edition is notably louder and more aggressive through mid-range acceleration, deceleration, and cruising, and it will produce drone. Pair it with a downpipe and the volume goes up further. This one isn’t for everyone, and AWE isn’t pretending otherwise.

Not Valved

• AWE’s development process included a thorough evaluation of the factory valve across multiple driving conditions to determine what it was actually accomplishing. The finding was straightforward; the volume difference between modes isn’t significant enough to warrant the valve’s presence. In comfort mode it stays closed, though it cracks open past a certain throttle input; sport and sport+ keep it open, with sport+ layering in ECU-generated burbles on top. Stock routing uses the side mufflers when the valve is closed to keep interior volume in check, then redirects flow through the center once it opens. AWE’s setup eliminates that entirely, running a full straight-through path at all times, in every drive mode, with no valve behavior affecting the outcome.

Front Pipes

• A full 3-inch front pipe is part of the system, built with a specific flange and gasket that holds the full diameter from inlet to outlet without narrowing. It’s designed as an integrated part of the exhaust rather than a modular piece, and it connects to the factory downpipe or an aftermarket unit without issue. AWE exhausts are not compatible with other aftermarket front pipes.

Exhaust Tips

• Three 4.5-inch double-walled, slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver come with every system, each one stamped with the AWE logo. They’re individually adjustable, so fitment depth into the bumper can be dialed in to taste.

Fitment Guarantee

• AWE started in 1991 as an installer of aftermarket parts, which means they built the company with a clear understanding of what a poor fitment actually costs. The AWE Fitment Guarantee applies to every AWE brand product, backing the engineering with a commitment to precise fitment and clean installation by a qualified installer, without exception.

No CEL Guaranteed

• AWE’s No Check Engine Light Guarantee means no warning lights when the product is properly installed and used as intended, on a vehicle running no additional modifications beyond other compatible AWE products. Straightforward coverage, no exceptions buried in the fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the Track Edition produce drone? Yes. Unlike the Touring Edition, the Track Edition does not include AWE’s 180 Technology resonator at the rear. A straight section takes its place, which means drone is present during cruising and mid-range driving. This is an intentional trade-off for maximum sound output, and it becomes more pronounced when paired with an aftermarket downpipe.
• Does the AWE Track Edition work with an aftermarket downpipe? Yes, but only with AWE’s aftermarket downpipes. The system is compatible with both the factory downpipe and an aftermarket catted downpipe.
• Does installing this exhaust trigger a check engine light? No, provided the system is installed correctly and used as intended on a vehicle with no additional modifications outside of other compatible AWE products. AWE backs this with their No Check Engine Light Guarantee.
• What performance gains can I expect? AWE’s dyno testing on the DE5 with the stock downpipe shows minimum gains of 4hp and 6lb-ft of torque at the wheels.

About AWE Tuning

AWE Tuning has been engineering performance exhaust systems and related components since 1991, starting out as an installer of aftermarket parts before developing their own in-house product line. Based in the United States, AWE designs, engineers, and manufactures their products domestically, with a catalog that spans a wide range of European and Japanese platforms. Their exhaust systems are built from U.S.-sourced T304L stainless steel and CNC mandrel-bent in-house, and the brand holds multiple patents, including their 180 Technology drone-cancellation system, which was developed to solve a problem that most exhaust manufacturers ignore entirely. AWE backs every product with a Fitment Guarantee and a No Check Engine Light Guarantee, both of which trace back to their roots as installers who knew firsthand what a poorly engineered fitment actually costs the end user. Across more than three decades in the industry, AWE has built a reputation for exhaust systems that perform on the dyno and hold up in daily use, without the compromises that typically come with choosing one over the other.
