AWE Touring conversion kit question
Been away from the forums for sometime. Just bought a 22 Stingray and loving it.
The previous owner had installed a AWE track exhaust. While I love the sound, its just a bit loud for early morning (5am) drives through my neighbor hood going to work. I noticed there is a touring conversion kit offered so I can switch between the two. Has anyone done the conversion here? If so does the rear facsia need to be removed to swap between the kits. I have called AWE but nobody returns my call. I have ordered the kit, just dont know how involved it is to swap out the midpipes.

You'll have to remove the rear bumper to make the swap. It's not hard, just a pile of small bolts and plastic clips. Borla offers very detailed instructions with color pictures that you can use as a guide:

I did the track to touring conversion and you don’t need to remove the rear bumper. Just remove the plastic tray from under the rear and you’ll have more than enough room to slip the track pipes out and put the touring resonators in. It took me about 1/2 hour. AWE makes it easy to slide the corner pipes off that the tips mount to from under the car once the plastic tray is out of the way.

Ice9812 was correct, just performed the AWE track to touring swap. Very easy to do, took about a hour. Could probably do it in 45 minutes now that I know everything involved.
