Ok so I take back a lot, after going out for awhile and driving in normal mode the drone is horrible, to the point it gives you a headache and the vibration going thru 2,000 rpms is pretty bad. It sounds much better than stock but I hate the bass drone unfortunately.
Well finally got it installed and all I can say is it is WAYYYYYY deeper than I thought is was going to be, definitely took all the rasp away. And this is coming from a guy who never owned an import ever and last 2 fun cars were a LS3 corvette and a roush supercharged mustang with corsa exhaust...
So I just got in the new copy cat $700 exhaust from extreme online that copies the awe touring and my question is this, it doesn't use the stock valve any longer so I ordered the simulator to just plug in which isn't here yet and not going to be here for my appointment this Saturday to install...
It's been perfect for 13,000 MILES. And if you prep it it will be just fine, besides I just got after market exhaust anyway but this held up perfect as you can see in the picture.
I just bought the new $700 exhaust online that copys the AWE and have heard good things, when I install it I will post the video, I also have the AA downpipe.
