AWE NAMED EXCLUSIVE EXHAUST PARTNER FOR FORMULA DRIFT ICON ODI BAKCHIS
HORSHAM, PA — AWE, the precision engineering firm known for its handcrafted performance exhaust systems, has officially announced a multi-year partnership with Formula Drift superstar and founder of Feal Suspension, Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis. With this announcement, AWE becomes the exclusive exhaust partner for Bakchis, specifically focusing on his high-profile Subaru BRZ builds.
The partnership marks a collision of two industry leaders dedicated to technical excellence. As Odi Bakchis continues to influence the drifting and performance aftermarket scenes, his Subaru BRZ will serve as the primary platform for AWE’s signature exhaust technology. By equipping the BRZ with AWE’s precision-engineered systems, the team aims to maximize power delivery and achieve the distinct, aggressive exhaust note that has become AWE’s trademark.
“Odi Bakchis is synonymous with precision and performance, making him the perfect ambassador for the AWE brand,” said Sara Riordan, Sr. Performance Specialist and Manager of Sponsorships at AWE. “The Subaru BRZ is a cornerstone of the enthusiast community, and by partnering with Odi, we are able to showcase exactly what our exhaust technology can do on one of the most popular platforms in the world. We are thrilled to have him leading the charge.”
The collaboration will focus on proving the durability and performance of AWE’s products under the extreme lateral G-forces and high-RPM demands of professional-level drifting. For Bakchis, the decision to partner with AWE was driven by the company’s reputation for rigorous research and development.
“I’ve always admired AWE’s commitment to engineering and their 'no drone' technology,” said Odi Bakchis. “The Subaru BRZ is a car that demands a specific balance of flow and sound, and AWE has nailed it. I’m excited to have AWE as my exclusive exhaust partner and to show enthusiasts what this BRZ can do when it’s truly unlocked.”
Fans can look forward to seeing Odi’s AWE-equipped Subaru BRZ at events and in upcoming technical content throughout the year.
