Exactly!

Getting very close... Fitment for AWE Touring is done, and the first batch is in production. Final fitment for Corsa and Stainless Works will be in about 10 days... designing for AFE, Borla, MBRP now... still looking for Kooks, ARH, Magnaflow cars to test fit on...

Once I have AWE + SW + Corsa in stock, I will release! Stay tuned!

Your #1 reservation on getting a cat back was dropping the weight of the 50lb factory suitcase?

Either AWE Touring or Borla S Type.

No, my reservation was about the parachuting effect on the rear bumper from removing the suitcase. Does it really drop 50lbs compared to some of the valveless axlebacks?

I’ve been running the AWE Touring catback since 2019… if there’s a parachute effect it doesn’t seem to be working on my car lol

Well, you don't know for sure though, do you? You might make it down into the 8s without the diffuser parachute

Which sound profile did you go for? Sound clips? Are you happy with it?

There is absolutely a parachute effect, and it effects other cars too. The backing plate is a fantastic idea I've been wanting to for for years! Its not enough to effect me, but for racers its a big deal. Alot of people would cut their diffuser to help eliminate it.
