Performance. Sound. Fitment. Options. Muscle.

The options: 

SwitchPath™: two tones, one tailored package with full control. SwitchPath™ retains all of the customization of the factory active exhaust while giving your 5.0L the means to sound the way it should–deep, rich, and uncongested.

Touring Edition: featuring AWE’s patented drone-killing 180 Technology®. 180 Technology®, found in the Touring Edition, is AWE’s proprietary technology that eliminates drone-prone frequencies without the use of packing material, preventing tone change over time. The Touring Edition produces the finest soundtrack out of the S550’s 5.0 while remaining sophisticated and drone-free within the cabin–this is the finest do-it-all S650 5.0 Mustang exhaust on the planet.

Track Edition: for those who like their volume like their speed, the Track Edition has minimal filter in the rear via dual straight lengths of 3” stainless steel. It’s light, it’s loud (in & out), it’s cost-effective, and isn’t for the faint of heart–you’ve been warned.

Full 3” & modular:

Each catback option features a full 3” design with modular, slip fit inlet adapters for perfect fitment with the factory headers while facilitating a dual 3” connection for drivers looking to get spicier up stream.

Valved for your comfort:

SwitchPath™ features tier 1 OEM-supplied valves that retain full factory functionality and behavior. Drive modes, customized settings, and programmable buttons–they’ll obey your commands.

Hearty with an H:

And so damn deep. Thanks to the precision H-pipe, your 5.0L V8 will produce a deep, rich muscle tone with minimal wrasp (unlike an X-pipe). Comes standard no matter the choice of exhaust.

Bullets in the middle:

Each catback option features straight-through bullet-style resonators in the mid pipes to further defeat rasp, especially helpful when upgraded headers are introduced into the exhaust stream.

Power to the pavement:

Dyno-verified gains of +4 hp and +3 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on an otherwise stock vehicle. 

180 Technology®:

As exhaust gases exit the 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, we 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 (a.k.a drone).

100% emission-friendly:

Touring and Track Editions do not interfere with any factory emissions equipment.

Bringing up the rear:

Quad 4” slash-cut, double-walled tips available in chrome silver or diamond black.

Made in PA, USA:

Engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house at AWE using US-sourced .065”-wall T304L stainless steel.

The fine print:

AWE’s Perfect Fitment Guarantee, No CEL Guarantee, and a Lifetime Warranty all come standard.
