AWE Track Edition Axle-Back for the C6 Corvette Base (2005–2008)
The AWE Track Edition axle-back exhaust is built for C6 Corvette Base owners who want an aggressive sound level with a clean, performance-focused rear section. It uses a straight-pipe axle-back layout with 4.5” double-walled tips in chrome silver or diamond black, and it installs as a bolt-on rear section with no cutting required.

What to Expect After Installation / Use
