Is the AWE Track-to-Touring Conversion Kit a complete exhaust system, or does it require an existing AWE exhaust?

It is not a standalone exhaust. The AWE Track-to-Touring Conversion Kit is designed exclusively for VA WRX owners who already have an AWE Track Edition cat-back exhaust installed. It will not function without the corresponding AWE Track Edition front pipe, mid-pipe, and axle-back sections already in place. If you do not have an AWE exhaust on your car, you need the full AWE Touring Edition cat-back system, not this conversion kit.

What does the AWE Track-to-Touring Conversion Kit actually change on the VA WRX?

The kit replaces only the rear straight-through axle-back sections from the Track Edition with Touring Edition rear sections that incorporate AWE's patented 180 Technology® drone-canceling resonators. The front pipe and mid-pipe from your existing Track Edition system stay exactly as installed. Your existing tips are reused; the kit ships with the new rear sections and all necessary hardware. AWE describes the process as unclamp, swap, reattach tips, done.

Why would someone switch from the Track Edition to the Touring Edition on the VA WRX?

The Track Edition is known to get loud and droney at sustained highway speeds, and multiple VA WRX owners report that the cabin resonance becomes tiring on longer commutes or road trips. Real owners who made the switch to Touring Edition consistently describe the result as better balance for daily driving; still loud and aggressive under hard acceleration with BOXER crackles on shift, but composed and quiet enough at cruise to have a conversation or take passengers without complaints. One reviewer specifically noted they made the switch after their first child and described the Touring Edition as the right call for a daily driver.

Can I switch back to the Track Edition again after converting to Touring on the VA WRX?

Yes. The AWE conversion system works in both directions; a Touring-to-Track Conversion Kit is also available if you later decide you want to go louder again. The modular design of the AWE VA WRX exhaust suite is specifically built for this; only the rear axle-back sections change between configurations, and the core of the system carries over in either direction.

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.
