Construction & Design

The Trail-to-Tread Conversion Kit is expertly crafted from premium T304L stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The tubing features a robust .065-inch wall thickness and is mandrel-bent using CNC technology to maintain consistent internal diameter, promoting unrestricted exhaust flow and optimal performance.

The single 5-inch exhaust tip boasts a double-wall construction that enhances durability and provides a refined, high-end finish in Diamond Black. This finish is designed to resist fading and chipping, preserving its aggressive look over time. Every component is meticulously engineered and assembled at AWE Tuning’s U.S. facility, ensuring stringent quality control and precise fitment that complements the rugged styling of the Jeep Gladiator.

Performance & Sound

This single side-exit design offers a freer flowing exhaust path compared to the factory turndown setup. The straight-through, non-baffled construction reduces backpressure, which can improve throttle response and overall engine efficiency. The exhaust note gains a deeper, more aggressive character that balances refinement with a sporty tone, making it suitable for both daily driving and spirited off-road adventures without being overly loud or intrusive.

Installation is straightforward and designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear turndown section. No cutting, welding, or additional modifications are necessary, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts. This kit fits a broad range of Jeep Gladiator trims from 2020 through 2024, including Rubicon, Mojave, Sport, Willys, Overland, and more, ensuring a seamless upgrade experience with factory-like fitment and finish.

The design preserves the integrity of your vehicle’s exhaust system and warranty while delivering a clean, performance-oriented exhaust exit.
