AWE Touring Edition Exhaust for 2023-2026 Nissan Z RZ34

The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust is the Nissan Z cat-back for drivers who want the twin-turbo V6 to finally sound like it means it, without paying for that on every highway trip. The RZ34's VR30DDTT has a smooth, eager voice that the factory exhaust keeps under wraps. AWE replaces everything from the downpipes back with a full dual 3-inch system, a symmetric X-pipe and resonated midpipes, and finishes it with two of AWE's patented 180 Technology® resonators at the rear.

Those rear resonators are the heart of the Touring Edition. They are straight-through, so flow is not choked, but their tuned chambers reflect drone-prone frequencies back out of phase so they cancel inside the cabin. Outside you get a full, exotic tone that builds cleanly to redline; inside, cruising stays calm. The X-pipe and resonated midpipes do the rest, keeping the V6 free of rasp. AWE measured up to 6 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on an otherwise stock car.

AWE developed this system on both the six-speed manual and the nine-speed automatic, and with and without aftermarket lower downpipes. Bespoke adapter plates and gaskets join the dual 3-inch pipes to the factory downpipes; if you upgrade upstream later, you simply leave them off. It ends in dual 5-inch double-walled slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver or Diamond Black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it drone on the highway?
No. The two 180 Technology® rear resonators are there to cancel drone at cruising speed.

Does it fit the manual and the automatic?
Yes. AWE developed and tested it on both transmissions.

Will it work with aftermarket downpipes?
Yes. Adapter plates mate it to the factory downpipes and come off if you fit dual 3-inch aftermarket downpipes.

Is it street legal?
AWE lists this system as 50 State Legal because it does not tamper with any emissions control or monitoring devices; it bolts on behind the catalytic converters. AWE does not publish a CARB Executive Order number for it, and local sound limits vary, so check the rules where you drive.

Do I need a tune?
No. It is a bolt-on cat-back and AWE guarantees no check engine light.

Can I make it louder later?
Yes. The Touring-to-Track Conversion Kit swaps the rear resonators for straight pipes.

Fitment Notes

• Built for U.S.-market 2023-2026 Nissan Z (RZ34) coupes. AWE only confirms fitment on U.S. models, so it is not offered for JDM Fairlady Z or other non-U.S. cars. It does not fit the 370Z (Z34) or the Infiniti Q50/Q60 Red Sport.
• AWE has track-tested its Z exhausts on cars with lowering springs of up to 1 inch.
• Direct bolt-on to the factory mounting points; no tune required.
