Hawk HPS 5.0 is a performance street compound. HP+ suits autocross use, with more noise and dust. For sustained track sessions, choose around actual heat, tires and cooling.

Open Box / Scratch & Dent: one AWE 3820-41016 C7 Corvette Touring-to-Track conversion kit. $349 vs. this listing’s $515 compare-at price—save $166 (32.2%).

Actual kit has bent mounting brackets and is missing mounting hardware; see the condition photo. Requires an existing compatible AWE Touring Edition C7 exhaust—this is not a complete cat-back.
