Top Reasons to Upgrade to AWE Exhaust
At KOW Performance, we’ve worked with nearly every major exhaust brand on the market, and time and time again, AWE stands out as one of the best. Whether you're driving a Dodge Charger, Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or C8 Corvette, upgrading your exhaust is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to your build. It changes how your vehicle sounds, feels, and performs. And if you're serious about quality and results, AWE should be at the top of your list. Here are the top reasons why we recommend upgrading to an AWE exhaust system.
1. Signature Sound with No Drone
AWE is known for its precision-tuned exhaust note—deep, aggressive, and clean. But what really sets it apart is the absence of drone. With AWE's 180 Technology®, you get a full-throttle roar when you're on it and a refined, drone-free ride when you're cruising. It's the perfect balance of performance and livability, especially if your vehicle is a daily driver or weekend warrior. At KOW Performance, our customers constantly rave about the sound quality AWE delivers without sacrificing comfort.
2. Proven Power Gains
While many exhaust brands talk about performance, AWE delivers real dyno-tested gains. Each system is designed to optimize flow, reduce backpressure, and unlock hidden horsepower and torque. Combine that with a cold air intake or tune, and you’ll feel the difference immediately. For performance enthusiasts looking to add both sound and speed, AWE exhausts are an essential upgrade—and we’ve seen the numbers firsthand at our shop.
3. Precision Fit and Easy Install
AWE systems are engineered specifically for each vehicle platform, which means no guesswork or modification is needed. The fit is exact, and the install is smooth—perfect for DIYers and pros alike. Everything from the flanges to the hangers is made with quality and durability in mind. At KOW Performance, we’ve installed countless AWE kits, and they consistently rank among the easiest and cleanest setups to work with.
4. Built to Last with Quality Materials
AWE exhausts are crafted from T304L stainless steel—one of the highest grades available in the aftermarket performance world. This means long-term durability, resistance to corrosion, and a finish that stays clean even under harsh driving conditions. Whether you’re dealing with rain, snow, or track heat, your exhaust is built to handle it. And with a lifetime warranty from AWE, you can trust it’s going to last.
5. Aggressive Styling and Tip Options
Looks matter, and AWE doesn’t disappoint. From double-walled tips to unique finishes like chrome silver and diamond black, these exhausts don’t just sound great—they look the part. The tips are available in multiple diameters and finishes, so you can match the style of your build without compromise. Whether you want something subtle or bold, AWE gives you the options to personalize your setup.
6. Made in the USA and Backed by a Lifetime Warranty
AWE is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA with a commitment to quality that’s hard to beat. Every system is hand-crafted and tested to meet strict standards. Their lifetime warranty covers materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind with every mile. As an authorized dealer and installer, KOW Performance stands behind their systems and provides support throughout your ownership.
