I understand that for some a fantastic sounding system is not enough to let go of the valves. I think the disconnect is the assumption that we have a valved system already loaded up ready to go and we won't give it to ya, totally not the case here, it would have to be a completely ground-up redesign.
The hang up is precisely what you said though, the interest in a valved system and those willing to pay more for it vs. the Touring Edition, when many are happy with the Touring Edition and its sound is the reason we did not develop one.
I truly appreciate the candid response and discussion. Part of my job here is to be a bridge between the community and AWE so it's not falling on deaf ears.

Fair enough, and thank you very much for the details you shared. You coming here and investing time and effort into the community shows me that you genuinely care. Much, much appreciated.
I didn't mean to imply you already had that system loaded, ready to go, and you'd just want to mess with us, I am not naive or silly
, I simply assume that since you have all parts and designs completed separately, this is mostly an integration job rather than new R&D. Not being an expert, I may well be off the mark.
On another note, though, you can see there is definite interest from Camaro prospects, not just in this thread but several others. I wish you had come to the platform sooner and we'd had this convo in 2017 or 2018 to make the value proposition more attractive... now that gm are about to discontinue the Camaro that is already selling well below typical Corvette levels, most owners who wanted an exhaust already bought one, and getting them to ditch a $1.5-2k+ Borla or Corsa setup for yours is a tough sell, no matter the quality.
