Ram 1500 Gets Tougher & Toothier With Performance Exhaust
AWE Tuning’s new catback exhaust makes the Ram 1500 almost indestructible.
Philly-based AWE Tuning have developed some of the best innovative aftermarket upgrades in the industry. Recently, Awe announced the release of their new 0FG Exhaust Suites for the fourth- and fifth-generation Ram 1500. Offered alongside their Ram TRX system, Awe optimizes and turns up the power with their custom-built catback exhaust. Not only are the half-ton beasts stronger and tougher, they’ve got a new guttural note that is deeply satisfying.
“The success of the TRX line was just the beginning of our entrance into the full Ram family,” says AWE VP, Jesse Kramer. “We’re excited to offer some interesting options beyond what’s out there: 3-inch configuration, Awe’s patented 180 Technology drone solution, and that special AWE sound. The 0FG Exhaust really is the last exhaust a Ram driver will ever need. They scream Hemi.”
The exhaust offerings incorporate stainless steel construction, measures to prevent side-to-side exhaust movement, and configurations to accommodate all Ram bumper styles. It blends into the Ram style perfectly with a clean but effective style.
But the performance is the real deal. The team at Awe includes designers, engineers, fabricators, and techs that test and retest until they have achieved the right feel and output. Each part works with the truck’s DNA to best manage and optimize airflow.
Some specifications include:
- 3-inch catback configurations
- Dedicated configurations for all RAM bumper styles: dual rear exit, and single side-exit
- Features AWE’s patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology
- Handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065-inch-wall T304L stainless steel

AWE also adds that the system is engineered for life: Apocalypse approved. To emphasize that point, they released a video showing the Ram trucks in action. Not only can you hear the difference, you can feel it. The seismic sensation of the Ram’s power is palpable. You’re going to want the volume up for this one.
