Construction & Design

The Tread Edition exhaust system is meticulously crafted from premium T304L stainless steel, known for its excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The use of 3” and 2.5” tubing ensures optimal exhaust flow, while the straight-through design minimizes restrictions for improved performance. The Diamond Black tips add a distinctive, stealthy look that complements the rugged styling of the Jeep Wrangler.

Every component is engineered and manufactured in-house at AWE’s US facility, ensuring strict quality control and precision fitment. The system’s design focuses on maximizing performance gains while maintaining a clean, aggressive tone that enhances the Wrangler’s character without overwhelming the cabin.

Performance & Sound

The hallmark of the Tread Edition is AWE’s patented 180 Technology®, which uses strategically placed ports and reflection chambers within the resonator to cancel out unwanted drone frequencies. This technology creates a sophisticated, full-bodied exhaust note that is both aggressive and refined. At low to moderate speeds, the exhaust remains quiet and comfortable, while increased throttle input unleashes a powerful, throaty roar that enhances the driving experience.

Dyno testing confirms measurable performance improvements, with gains of up to 5 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, making this exhaust not only sound great but also contribute to better engine efficiency and responsiveness.
