AWE Catback Exhaust w/ BashGuard - Dual Diamond Black Tips | 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

The 0FG is the one-and-only true-dual catback exhaust configuration for the Gen3 Tacoma, and it's available in two flavors: BashGuard™ only for class-leading clearance at all times, or BashGuard™ + dual tips enabling modularity for any occasion.

Dual 2.5” American-sourced T304L stainless steel with a wall thickness of .065” runs smoothly from front to back, featuring factory-matched flanges at the inlets, bolting up right after the emissions equipment. A bespoke H-pipe and straight-through mid-muffler work together to produce an unprecedented deep, rasp-free soundtrack out of the Tacoma, with AWE’s patented drone-canceling 180 Technology® resonators keep drone-prone frequencies in check. 

Perfect tone, compliments of AWE 180 Technology®:

Keeping the aggression at the rear of the Taco, and out of the cabin, is AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®. 

As exhaust gasses exit the 3.5L engine and flow into an AWE 180 Technology® equipped resonator, they pass through strategically located ports, and into reflection chambers. Sound waves, carried by these exhaust gasses, bounce off the walls of the reflection chambers. By controlling the size and location of the ports and the chambers, we also control when the sound waves exit the chambers. The specific timing of when the reflected sound waves rejoin the main exhaust flow creates a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree out-of-phase sound wave that cancels out problematic frequencies. 

Full-bodied aggression remains behind the driver, and complete comfort is achieved in the cabin at cruising speeds, all while unlocking a superior soundtrack and optimal flow compared to a single 3” diameter configuration.

Bringing up the rear:

You’re looking at not only the Best Sounding Exhaust on the Planet™ for the Gen3 Tacoma 3.5L, but it’s also the most versatile. Each 0FG Catback features modular extensions for long wheelbase Tacomas, and can come with your choice of max-clearance BashGuards (no tips) or dual 4.5" slash-cut tips + BashGuards for trailside modularity.

Option 1 - Maximum clearance at all times with BashGuard™ (no tips): Instead of tips, 0FG Catbacks can come with AWE's max-clearance BashGuard only. What’s BashGuard? Thanks for asking. The AWE BashGuards slip onto the outlets of the over-axle sections, tucked up really high out of the way of danger, to provide maximum clearance while protecting the outlet and keeping it true and round. Comes as a set of two because it's a true dual. If you're on the trail all the time, or purely prefer your Taco tipless, this is your dose of steal

Option 2 - Modular dual 4.5" slash-cut tips + BashGuard™: Available in chrome silver or diamond black, all tip options include the AWE logo and double-walling to ensure a mirror finish even under hard usage. The tip outlets, although conjoined, offer vertical adjustability, and the tips themselves are individually adjustable allowing depth into the bumper to be set according to personal taste. When you're about to get rugged, swap the tip outlets for the included BashGuards for maximum clearance on-the-fly.
