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.
