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?

Hi Sara,

I’ve been an AWE Touring owner of your resonated catback system pretty much from the day it came out for the 6th Gen Camaro. I’m still running it and loving it to this day… all the way from 400 WHP as a stock SS to 1066 WHP today.

I will confirm what the fellas above said. Once I went to long tube headers the AWE Touring system (even with resonators) is BIBLICALLY LOUD! I’m self-conscious about driving it on the street. Anything over 30% throttle sounds like I’m qualifying at the strip against John Force… Don’t get me wrong, it sounds epic but there are times I’d love to be able to dial down the volume. My wife’s S550 Mustang GT has the Mach 1 Active Exhaust and it’s exactly what I’m talking about… hooligan when you want it, quiet rumble when that’s appropriate too. And I know AWE makes valved systems for the S550 too so Camaro owners should get the same choice.

So Dave’s prototype using AWE components could definitely have legs as the best overall catback for this platform. Just my humble two cents as a long time AWE fan and owner on this car.
