AWE measured maximum gains of 12 hp and 9 lb-ft at the wheels with a turbo-back setup on stock software. It is a direct bolt-on for factory-like install simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quad 4-inch double-walled, slash-cut tips come in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black. For push-button mood control, the AWE SwitchPath Remote is available separately. The system carries AWE's Perfect Fitment and No Check Engine Light guarantees and a lifetime warranty.
