AWE Tuning Performance Exhausts and Intakes for European, American & Japanese Cars
19th Aug 2026
A performance exhaust should do more than make a car louder.
The best systems are developed around how the vehicle is actually driven: how it sounds under acceleration, how it behaves during cruising, how much cabin resonance it produces, and how effectively the system supports the engine's airflow requirements.
That approach is central to AWE Tuning.
Since its beginnings in Volkswagen performance, AWE has expanded into a wide range of European, Japanese, and American performance platforms. Its catalog now includes exhaust systems, axle-backs, midpipes, intake systems, filters, conversion kits, and supporting hardware for everything from BMW M cars and Audi RS models to Toyota GR products, Corvettes, Mustangs, trucks, and SUVs.
At XPH, the AWE catalog reflects that broad platform coverage.

More Than One Type of Exhaust
AWE does not treat every performance exhaust as the same product with different fitment.
Its lineup includes several different configurations designed around different driving priorities.
The Touring Edition is generally positioned toward enthusiasts who want a more refined performance character, while Track Edition systems provide a more aggressive approach.
For vehicles equipped with compatible systems, SwitchPath™ adds another dimension by allowing the exhaust character to change depending on driving conditions.
This gives owners the ability to choose an exhaust based on how they actually use their vehicle rather than simply choosing the loudest option available.
AWE's 180 Technology®
One of AWE's most recognizable technologies is its patented 180 Technology®.
The system is designed to address unwanted exhaust resonance while preserving the character of the exhaust note.
This is particularly relevant for cars that are used both aggressively and as daily drivers. A system can produce a more pronounced exhaust sound under acceleration without necessarily turning highway cruising into an unpleasant experience.
AWE uses this approach across several of its modern exhaust platforms, including BMW and Volkswagen applications.
BMW Performance: From M Cars to B-Series Platforms
BMW represents one of the largest sections of the AWE catalog at XPH.
The lineup includes exhaust systems for both modern M cars and other BMW performance platforms.
Current offerings include:
- BMW G8X M3/M4
- BMW G87 M2
- BMW G90/G99 M5
- BMW F8X M3/M4
- BMW F97 X3 M
- BMW G-series applications
- BMW B58-powered platforms
The G8X M3/M4 exhaust suite is available in configurations including SwitchPath™ and Track Edition, while the G87 M2 receives its own dedicated AWE exhaust suite. Optional performance midpipes are also available for applicable systems.
For the latest G90/G99 M5, XPH carries both Touring Edition and Track Edition cat-back configurations, giving owners two distinct approaches to the car's exhaust character.
AWE for the Toyota GR Supra
The Toyota GR Supra is another major application for AWE.
XPH carries the AWE Exhaust Suite for the GR Supra, giving B58-powered Supra owners access to a platform-specific exhaust solution rather than adapting a generic system.
The Supra is particularly well suited to exhaust development because its turbocharged powertrain responds well to airflow-focused modifications.
For owners building a Supra around additional power, an appropriately configured exhaust can become part of a broader intake, tuning, and airflow package.
Audi Performance From A3 to RS Models
AWE has extensive Audi coverage as well.
The XPH catalog includes systems for a wide selection of Audi platforms, including:
- Audi B9/B9.5 S4
- Audi B9 S5
- Audi B9 RS5
- Audi 8V RS3
- Audi 8V S3
- Audi 8Y S3
- Audi C7/C7.5 A6 and A7
- Audi S6
- Audi S7
- Audi C8 S6/S7
- Audi C8 RS6 Avant
- Audi RS7
- Audi 8R Q5/SQ5
- Audi MK3 TT RS
- Audi B8/B8.5 RS5
The lineup includes Touring Edition, Track Edition, and SwitchPath™ systems depending on the application.
AWE also offers supporting intake and airflow products for Audi applications, including S-FLO filters and carbon components.
Volkswagen Performance Is Where It Started
AWE's connection to Volkswagen performance goes back to 1991.
The brand's Volkswagen lineup includes exhaust and intake solutions for several generations of GTI, Golf R, and Jetta GLI models.
XPH carries systems for platforms including:
- MK7 GTI
- MK7.5 GTI
- MK8 GTI
- MK7.5 Jetta GLI
- MK8 Golf R
AWE's Volkswagen exhaust systems are available in different configurations, including Touring and Track variants, allowing owners to choose between a more refined daily-driving setup and a more aggressive sound profile.
Intake Systems and Airflow Components
AWE's catalog extends beyond exhaust systems.
The brand also develops intake and airflow components designed to improve the path between the outside air and the engine.
One example is the S-FLO Carbon Intake for the G8X BMW M4/M3/M2, which XPH carries as part of the AWE lineup.
AWE also offers S-FLO products for Audi applications, including filters and carbon intake-related components.
For a performance build, these products can complement exhaust modifications by addressing both sides of the engine's airflow system.
Performance Systems for the Porsche Macan and 911
AWE also has a presence in the Porsche aftermarket.
XPH carries AWE systems for applications including:
- Porsche 991 Carrera
- Porsche 2022+ Macan 2.9TT
The 991 Carrera receives an AWE performance exhaust option, while the Macan 2.9TT is supported with an AWE Exhaust Suite.
This expands the brand's reach beyond BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen into another major European performance market.
Chevrolet Corvette Performance
AWE's American performance catalog includes multiple Chevrolet Corvette applications.
XPH carries exhaust systems for:
- C7 Corvette Stingray
- C7 Corvette Z51
- C7 Grand Sport
- C7 Z06
- C7 ZR1
- C8 Corvette Stingray
- C8 Corvette E-Ray
- C8 Corvette Z06
The C8 Z06 also receives a dedicated AWE exhaust system.
This is an example of how AWE has expanded beyond its traditional European roots while maintaining its focus on application-specific exhaust development.
Mustang, Camaro and Other American Performance Cars
The AWE catalog also includes a significant range of American performance applications.
XPH carries AWE exhaust systems for platforms such as:
- S650 Ford Mustang GT
- S650 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
- Chevrolet Camaro SS
- Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
- Chevrolet Camaro LT1
- Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing
- Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
- Ford Focus RS
- Dodge Charger
- Dodge Challenger
- Dodge Durango
- Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT/Trackhawk
- Jeep Wrangler 392
These systems demonstrate that AWE's engineering approach is not restricted to one engine layout or vehicle category.
Performance Exhausts for Trucks and SUVs
AWE's catalog extends even further into the truck and SUV market.
XPH carries systems for applications including:
- Ford F-150
- Ford F-150 Tremor
- Ford Raptor
- Ford Raptor R
- Ford Bronco Raptor
- RAM 1500 TRX
- RAM 1500 RHO
- Chevrolet Silverado
- GMC Sierra
- Toyota Tacoma
- Ford Explorer ST
- Subaru Outback
- Jeep Grand Cherokee
The AWE 0FG line is particularly prominent among truck applications, with systems designed around the specific requirements of modern pickup platforms.
Subaru, Honda and Toyota Applications
AWE also maintains a substantial selection of Japanese performance applications.
XPH carries systems for:
- Subaru WRX
- Subaru STI
- Toyota GR Corolla
- Toyota GR Supra
- Honda Civic Si
- Honda Civic Type R
- Acura Integra Type S
- Nissan Z
For several platforms, AWE offers both Touring and Track configurations.
The brand also provides conversion kits that allow some owners to switch between Touring and Track configurations without replacing the entire exhaust system.
Touring-to-Track and Track-to-Touring Conversion Kits
One particularly useful aspect of the AWE catalog is its conversion hardware.
For supported vehicles, owners can move between Touring and Track configurations using dedicated conversion kits.
XPH carries these for platforms including:
- Volkswagen MK7.5 Jetta GLI
- Audi 8Y S3
- Toyota GR Corolla
- Nissan Z
- Honda Civic Si
- Acura Integra
- Dodge Durango
This approach is useful for owners whose driving requirements change over time. A daily-driven vehicle may benefit from a more refined Touring configuration, while the same car can be converted toward a more aggressive Track setup when desired.
Choosing the Right AWE System
The right AWE product depends heavily on the vehicle and intended use.
A daily-driven BMW may be better suited to a Touring Edition system, while an enthusiast looking for a more aggressive sound may prefer Track Edition.
A vehicle with compatible factory valves can benefit from a SwitchPath™ system.
For some platforms, adding a performance midpipe can further change exhaust flow and sound without replacing the complete system.
And for owners building around engine airflow, an AWE intake can complement the exhaust side of the build.
The important point is that AWE offers multiple ways to approach the same vehicle rather than forcing every owner into one configuration.
