Performance Exhaust

Quite frankly, we were shocked at how exotic the 5-cylinder motor became after installing the AWE Cat Back exhaust system. This exhaust unlocks ~8hp at the crank, as well as giving the 2.5L engine a voice that turns heads. There is no interior drone at any RPM and sound volume (interior and exterior) is quite civilized - while still being noticable. The 2.5L Cat Back was designed with performance and longevity in mind, and features mandrel-bent 2.5 inch diameter tubing, thick .065" wall T304L stainless steel, double walled adjustable AWE exhaust tips to reduce heat discoloration, and performance verified on the AWE in house Mustang dyno.

• Adds 8hp at the crank
• Deep and muscular sound
• Lifetime Guarantee
• No CEL Guarantee
• Perfect Fitment - Guaranteed
• T304L Stainless Steel construction

Important Notice relating to US Domestic Market Trucks & Pickups

Many US-market trucks and pickups are available in multiple cab and bed-length configurations (e.g., Single Cab, Extended Cab, Double/Crew Cab, CrewMax, 5.5ft/6.5ft/8ft beds, etc.). Exhaust system fitment can vary between these chassis versions.

Where available, we list all compatible vehicles, cab types, and bed lengths in the product description. However, depending on your exact configuration, some systems may require optional extension/mid-pipes or minor modification for correct fitment.

Because of these variations, please carefully check your cab configuration and bed length before purchasing. If you are unsure, or if your vehicle has been modified, please reach out to a StreetFX agent.
