The AWE Track Edition Axle-Back Exhaust for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX is the most affordable way to get AWE's sound on a VB. AWE calls it the easiest way for WRX drivers to unlock premium BOXER® rumble: a pure bolt-on that gives VB owners the AWE sound without the cat-back price tag. The Track Edition skips the drone-canceling mufflers entirely for an unfiltered BOXER® rumble.
It is handcrafted from 2.5" CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065" wall T304L stainless steel and bolts directly to the factory mid-section via OEM-matched flanges, with new gaskets included. AWE lists it at just 12 lbs against 26 lbs for the stock system. It finishes with quad 4" double-walled, slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver, Diamond Black or Vapor Blue. Because it is loud, listen to the sound clip before ordering.

The clip compares both editions; this page is the Track Edition.
Is the AWE Track Edition axle-back legal on a VB WRX?
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.
How loud is the Track Edition on the WRX?
Track is the loud one. Without the 180 Technology® resonators it delivers what AWE calls an unfiltered BOXER® rumble, inside and outside the car. Listen to the clip above before ordering, because AWE does not take Track Edition returns for sound preference.
How does the axle-back install?
It bolts directly to the WRX's factory mid-section through OEM-matched flanges, and AWE includes new gaskets, so it is a genuine bolt-on installation with no tune required.
How much weight does it save?
AWE lists the Track Edition axle-back at 12 lbs against 26 lbs for the stock system, a 14 lb saving.
Cat-back or axle-back?
AWE built the axle-back for VB owners who wanted a sound similar to the AWE cat-back at a lower price point. If you want the full 3" system and AWE's quoted 7 hp gain, see the cat-back.
