Another masterpiece from the craftsmen at AWE Tuning. Highlights: +12 hp crank gain at 6700 rpm, +22 ft-lbs crank torque gain at 3200 rpm 50 lbs weight savings 100% stainless steel tubing and flex joints Lifetime Warranty This modular system is a direct replacement for the factory exhaust system, resulting in a very aggressive sound and significant power gains. Installation of the straight pipes means 50 lbs of weight savings over stock. Considerable time was taken ensure that this system has a factory fit and finish level. The factory design uses a hemispherical gasket shape where the muffler inlet tubes mate to the over-axle pipes. Through careful digitizing of this gasket's profile, we were able to duplicate the tubing shape that it is clamped against, ensuring a leak-free seal. We also use a stainless steel lined braided flex joint on each inlet tube, just like the factory. A lined flex joint allows for proper heat expansion/contraction of the system while permitting an uninterrupted smooth bore for ultimate gas flow. Special high temperature tubing wrap is used on the inlet tubes and tailpipes (just like factory) to ensure proper heat shielding to carbon fiber structural and trim pieces. We also increased tubing diameter from 2.75" to 3.00". All adjustments for fitment are retained, just like factory. Like all of our exhaust products -- fitment, performance, sound tone and volume are carefully documented, verified, and field tested by our engineers and designers. As with all AWE Tuning ® exhaust products, each TIG weld is hand finished internally, only butt-welded junctions are used. Flange openings are size-matched to their ports to produce the smoothest flow possible. It is this intensive attention to detail that sets AWE Tuning ® exhaust products heads and shoulders above the rest. AWE Tuning Straight Pipe Kits are hand-built works of art and are what your Porsche deserves. Please note, this exhaust is for racing use only.
