Quick comparison, everything is the same between the two setups (intake, catted AA DP). One is the Borla CBE in sport and the other is AWE Touring. Big difference in pitch and volume. Both great!
Let me answer the top questions
1. Downpipe first
2. Canola or olive oil, 5w-30 is best
3. Plug the in the ECU backwards and itās unlocked
4. Lower it first
5. Yes, it isnāt a BMW

welcome! Beautiful car
its the truth! Sometimes I listen back to these clips and itās like āreally?ā It so much better in person.
Iād love to hear the catless Borla, just take a little deep tone away and add some mid range.
contrary to most, I like awe touring non res more than res for that added mid range and slight...
AA Catted DP with the AWE Touring (both res and non-res actually) were a bit louder than borla. Non res was perfect IMO, amazing mid range. Borla is deeper than both. If you want a valve though, Borla is perfect and very quiet in normal mode. Maybe with a catless DP Borla is perfect?

This one has a cool collector type thing in the 3.5" pipe under the car and then the Atak muffler has a resonator and muffler built into it. Just isn't quite as loud as AWE. Both companies spent some serious time on their systems.
With a downpipe + Borla on my car now, they did a pretty good job with the drone. In normal mode there is NONE. In sport, with the valve open there is the slightest amount. The only one who does it better is AWE. Crazy how AWE is louder and has less drone. Highly recommend both setups!
Itās hard to be thrilled about anything, power wise for a reasonable price after riding a 1000cc bike. However, a bolt on Soup is plenty fun and even better to get a passenger thatās excited.
God bless you Chris and may she be with you, when you swap that downpipe and realize the noise isnāt muffled, itās the pool of blood in your ears from drone.
Hey, I am a bit north of you but may be parting the AWE Touring setup out that I have. Shoot me a message and we can figure out shipping/pickup and price.
