AWE Trail-to-Tread Conversion Kit for 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT 3.6L

AWE's Trail Edition is the Gladiator exhaust for serious crawling, with a turned-down tailpipe that tucks up out of harm's way for maximum departure-angle clearance. When the truck starts spending more time on pavement than on rocks, the AWE Trail-to-Tread Conversion Kit turns that Trail Edition system into the road-trip-friendly Tread Edition without replacing the whole exhaust.

The kit supplies the rear sections that change the exit: choose the dual exit version, which routes the exhaust behind both rear wheels, or the single side exit version, which exits on one side. Both finish in AWE's 5-inch straight-cut, double-walled Diamond Black tips. Once converted, the system behaves like a Tread Edition, keeping AWE's drone-cancelling 180 Technology for a cabin that stays near stock volume at highway speed and a fuller V6 tone when you put your foot down.

Every piece is made from U.S.-made CNC mandrel-bent .065-inch wall T304L stainless steel to match the rest of the AWE system, and it installs with basic hand tools as a bolt-on to the existing Trail Edition components and factory hangers. AWE engineers and manufactures the kit in-house in the USA, and it is covered by AWE's Perfect Fitment guarantee and lifetime exhaust warranty. If you later head back to the trail, AWE's separate Tread-to-Trail kit reverses the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a factory exhaust?
No. It only converts an AWE Trail Edition cat-back that is already on the truck.

Which version should I pick?
Choose dual exit for a tip behind each rear wheel, or single side exit for one tip on one side.

Can I go back to Trail Edition?
Yes. AWE sells a Tread-to-Trail conversion kit for the Gladiator.

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.
