The Porsche 911 Turbo S is one hell of a supercar. A sweetly organized hell, to be more precise. Nevertheless, this inferno doesn’t come with a matching exhaust sound. While some love the 911’s voice the way it this, there are enough fans who want a more vocal approach. This is the exact reason for which US specialist AWE Tuning has come up with a custom exhaust for the Turbo and Turbo S.
The engine at the back of the 991 Turbo / Turbo S is an evolution of that on the previous-generation 997, but AWE tuning claims they’ve scrapped their 997 exhaust design and went for an all-new approach.
If you ask the tech guys, this is no audio modification, it’s all about the breathing of the 3.8-liter twin-turbo unit. Let’s talk power then. The peak gain for the AWE Tuning exhaust sits at 29 hp and 32 lb-ft (Nm)m, measured at the crank.
These results are achieved using the RSR-style tips. In this configuration, you get the best performance out of the system, as there’s an uninterrupted flow of gas - the tips carry the three-inch tubing right to the end.
You can also opt for the cooler-looking Quad tips, or even choose to stick with the OEM tips. Doing so means you gain 20 hp and 20 lb-ft (Nm) of torque, once again measured at the crank.
We have to remind you the stock output values for the 911 Turbo and Turbo S sit at 520 and 560 hp, respectively.
What AWE Tuning offers is a direct bolt-on system, which includes three-inch mandrel-bent tubing with H-Pipe crossover (T-304 Stainless Steel), as well as 200 cell HJS HD metal-core catalysts. You can put these details down and try to break the silence if the conversation ever gets awkward. Or, better yet, you can listen to the system yourselves in the clip below.
