AWE Exhaust

PROMETHEUS · 06-05-2019, 06:23 PM

My AWE, Track Edition, Non-Resonated with Black Diamond Tips has arrived. Will post before and after results with Decibel Meter.

Just received my AWE Touring non resonated cat back with secondary cat delete link pipes. I was thinking track edition but want headers down the road and know that would be crazy loud.

Edited: I have the non resonated touring system. The only problem I ran into was the clocking of the passenger side link pipe was off and the tip of the O2 sensor was contacting a cooling line that runs along the side of the transmission. I went back and forth with AWE but....no real help. They are/were aware of it after a few conversations but I ended up relocating a bracket that holds said line. Hopefully this has been resolved and you wont have this problem.

I will say, other than that, I LOVE the exhaust. No drone (not that I really care) and sounds great. Cold starts are brutal though!!! I love it!
Good luck! Cant wait to see your results.

Cant wait to hear it with the Decibel readings!!

It is installed. The beast is alive! Took me most of the day to take out the factory and install the AWE. Ran into a few minor problems.....like how to remove the rubber exhaust hangers. For those of you who are thinking about doing this yourself. Invest in a Exhaust Mount Removal Tool. I got mine from Advance Auto, because they had it in stock. But Amazon and other Retailers carry them. It took me less than one minute to remove all four rubber mounts.
I did start it, just to hear it roar! I will get a video done soon. The weather here is going to be turning bad for the next 3 or 4 days, so as soon as I get her out and get a video done. The "King Kong" tips are menacing. There is no comparison to the OEM ones. Yea, I lost the NPP....but I gained so much more.

Is this axleback or catback?

An extra large pair of channel locks works well too with a bit of lubricant on those rubber hangers. The packaging looked great for your AWE! I'm sure it looks great on the car.

It is the their catback system with the performance link pipes. No cutting required. Disconnect the factory and install theirs!
