will occur if skin comes into contact with a hot exhaust
system. - Remove the rear bumper valance by removing the license plate to
access the two bolts shown in Figure 1. - Remove the two bolts above the exhaust tip outlets shown in
Figure 2. - Remove the 5 screws per side (10 screws total) found along the
bottom of the rear valance, leaving the 1 screw per side shown as
(B). - Remove the driver and passenger side plastic grill inserts by
pushing them out from the inside. These are held into place with 6
clips shown in Figure 4. - Use painters tape to protect the paint if required.
- Remove the two rear reflectors shown in Figure 5-1 by pushing
them out from the inside of the bumper. Each one is held in with 3
clips. - With the reflectors out of the way, remove the 4 bolts, two on

NOTE: Always refer to the manufacturer’s service manual for precise torque specifications on all OEM fasteners. CAUTION: The exhaust may be VERY HOT — allow adequate time for the system to cool down before disassembly. Severe burns and injury will occur if skin comes into contact with a hot exhaust system.
Installation of the AWE Axle Back exhaust system is the reverse of the OEM exhaust removal. Start by removing the rear bumper valance by removing the license plate, to access to the two bolts shown in Figure 1.
Remove the two bolts above the exhaust tip outlets, shown in Figure 2.
Remove the 5 per side screw, shown as (A) 10 screws total, found along the bottom of the rear valance, leave the 1 screw per side, shown as (B).

Remove the driver and passenger side plastic grill inserts by pushing them out from the inside. Theses are held into place with 6 clips shown in Figure 4.
You may use painters tap to protect the paint, but is not required.
Remove the two rear reflectors shown in Figure 5-1 by pushing them out from the inside of the bumper. Each one is held in with 3 clips.
With the reflectors out of the way, you now have access to 4 bolts, two on each side to be removed shown in Figure 5-2.
Remove the rear valance from the car, this is done by un clipping the top corners and carefully pulling the part away from the car.

For Non-NPP exhaust skip this step. For NPP vehicles, unplug the driver and passenger side rear valve harness wires from the valve motor, shown in Figure 7. This can be accomplished by disengaging the grey lock tab and squeezing the harness plug.
Remove the two bolts holding the rear mufflers together, as shown in Figure 8-1. Detach the rear muffler hanger, by removing the two bolts from each side shown in Figure 8-2.
Save these hanger bracket bolts as they will be used when installing the new exhaust.
For Manual vehicles skip this step. Automatic vehicles ONLY: To remove the driver side exhaust tube, you need to shift the vehicle into neutral. This will allow enough space around the shift linkage on the transmission for the exhaust tube to slide out, as shown in Figure 9.

Loosen the driver and passenger clamp bolts, shown in Figure 10. This will allow you to remove both rear sections of the exhaust.
Pivot the driver and passenger side exhaust tubes down from the rear of the vehicle and remove as shown in Figure 11.
The exhaust mount on the rear section will need to be removed and reused during the installation of your new exhaust.
Non-NPP vehicles skip this step. With all components removed, secure the NPP valve harness to the chassis, with cable ties, as seen in Figure 12.

Cut the supplied 10in section of heat wrap in half, as shown in Figure 13-1. Use the heat wrap to cover the braided sections of DRIVER SIDE transmission lines shown in Figure 13-1. With the heat shield on, use the supplied zip ties to ensure the line is secured out of the way.
STEP 14 IS FOR CARS WITH AFM VALVES. IF YOUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE AFM VALVES SKIP TO STEP 15.
AFM cars REQUIRE the AFM simulators. The AFM simulator is shown in Figure 14, for instructions on how to install your AWE AFM simulators select the link, here.

Install the two over axle tubes from the rear of the vehicle (A), following the same way the OE system was removed and connecting to the X pipe (B), shown in Figure 15. Ensure you install the driver and passenger tube on the correct side.
Install the factory rear hangers (B) and the Accu-Seal clamps onto your AWE driver and passenger side rear sections of the exhaust (A), as seen in Figure 16.
It is crucial to install each section and Accu-Seal clamp correctly to prevent loose joints, exhaust leaks between the tubing connections and rattles. Arrow A in Figure 17 shows the expanded pipe and the preinstalled Accu-Seal clamp being brought up to the corresponding pipe. Arrow B in Figure 17 shows the overlapping pipe installed correctly over the corresponding pipe. Arrow C in Figure 17 shows the Accu-Seal clamp being brought to the edge of the expanded pipe.
NOTES: · Do not torque any Accu-Seal clamp until the entire
exhaust has been installed and adjusted. · Torque specification is a minimum of 60 ft/lbs

Install the rear driver and passenger sections onto the over axle tube, ensure the slip joint is fully pressed together as seen in Figure 18-1, and Figure 18-2. Hand tighten the Accu-seal clamps.
With the rear sections of the exhaust in place, use the factory hardware you removed earlier to reinstall the rear hangers, as shown in Figure 19.
With both rear sections in place as shown in Figure 20-1, gather the AWE exhaust plate and provided hardware to bolt together the driver and passenger side section with the plate installed towards the rear of the vehicle as shown in Figure 20-2.
Hand tighten all bolts first to allow for correct alignment.

As mentioned in step 19 and step 20, prior to this step all joints and clamps should be snug but not fully tightened down. Make sure to adjust the orientation of the system so that the exhaust tubes have plenty of clearance from any parts of the chassis, braces, and heat shields. Once the system is oriented correctly, tighten down the clamps as shown in Figure 21.
NOTE: To ensure your perfect fitment, take your time to adjust your system properly
Now reinstall the rear bumper sections, this process is the opposite of step 1 through step 6. Be careful not to scratch the paint on the body.
Make sure to apply anti-seize on all barrel clamp bolts. Install your four provided AWE exhaust tips, as shown in Figure 23. Torque bolts to 18 ft/lbs

For the best tip fitment, align the barrel style tip clamp to cover only the slot, shown by Arrow A Torque the tip clamp to 18 ft./lbs.
NOTES: · It is required to apply anti-seize to the
threads to prevent thread binding, shown by Arrow B · It is okay to have the clamp extend beyond the edge of the tip inlet.
Go back across the exhaust system one last time to check for contact and tighten the Accu-seal clamps. Accu-seal clamps should be tightened to at least 60 ft-lbs and the tubes should be adjusted so that the tips sit evenly in the rear bumper. At this point installation is complete!

Issue Exhaust is not fitting correctly
Wrong or missing parts
Solution
Most fitment issues are due to improperly adjusted exhaust. This includes tip fitments and rattling due to chassis contact. Check out our fitment guide for more installation tips.
Double check the parts list for your system and compare them with what you received. Fill out our contact form, found below and let us know what parts you need.
Once installed properly, your AWE exhaust will provide years of trouble-free performance.
The exhaust volume and sound will settle with usage; 800-1000 miles is required to break-in new exhaust systems.
Also, please note that the rear 180Technology® resonator has a small drain hole to allow condensation to escape. Water drops from this area are normal.
Periodic cleaning of exhaust tips is necessary to maintain proper finish, especially in areas prone to road salt and caustic deicing solutions. Use a mild soap and water solution or car wax to clean the finish. Avoid using abrasive polishes, as they can scratch the finish.
