These details I shared with you in the Private Message I sent you a couple days ago. This thread has been on the top 2-3 pages of new daily posts for the past several months, and this has been the first I have heard anything negative about AWE building this as an Axle-Back setup or your being a part of this forum. So with your access to this great resource of information here on Cam6, I would suggest you check out all the hundreds of exhaust system posts where someone is looking for a zero-drone or a quieter full flow system like the SwitchPath can provide and lets make it happen.
It is clear everyone wants this setup and AWE has the components to build this system as I have proven on my ZLE. Connect with your colleague and see the path we have worked to make this happen. Those who were at Road Atlanta this past weekend have also heard this system and the ability to run the car during the "Quiet Time" session on Sunday morning without tripping the db-sound meter, which was my initial goal in making this work.
Thanks!!

Hey David,
That was precisely why I wanted to jump in as I saw there was a miscommunication between one of our sales team (John) and yourself about whether we are in R&D on a new Camaro system.
Every project, even ones that seem "easy" or straightforward need to be fully vetted, tested, and put through our R&D process internally at our headquarters. We don't skip steps so we can be proud of what we produce here, but that does mean these things take time and have to go through the proper channels.
What I also want to be clear about is that I am not saying we are *never* coming out with another option, but the facts of the situation is that we are not in R&D on a new system for Camaro and it is not on the list at this current moment in time. Being able to show interest from actual members of the community (yourselves) through the
new product request form is the fastest/easiest way to change that, but we will need to show significant interest to get a project approved.
Not discounting the great setup you custom made from our components, it is certainly impressive, just trying to be clear about what is going on so we can be transparent with the community.
I am sure you already know our Touring edition has 180 tech resonators to cancel drone, but your comments about volume I did want to dive deeper. Have tracks told you that even the Touring Edition is too loud for competiton? Does anyone feel the Touring Edition is too loud and are looking for another option with less volume?
