Impressions/Review: AWE Touring Catback

[Ultimateone]

Agree 100% just ordered mine this week.

I wanted it so bad and was even going to work with AWE but I couldn't get over not having a valved option. Just need because of my neighborhood unfortunately

Non-res as well, with OEM DP?

Luckily, my schedule's not typical since I work mostly from home.

Also, there are plenty of neighbors creating enough of a cacophony with their landscaping toys that I don't mind a little "payback" lol.

Resonated. With OEM DP. black tips. Watched a couple videos on YouTube and I think that's the best combo.

You should just order now. Black Friday deals orders means you'll get your exhaust in 2021 haha

True Story Dot Com . I think a Black Friday exhaust would be delivered in mid-January. (At lease the second week of January)... although we are hiring a second shift, etc.

The generators... when the power goes out in my neighborhood it sounds like a truck stop. I used to feel bad about leaving at 7am for Cars and Coffee. Not any more!

Can one switch between resonated and non-resonated touring exhaust from AWE? In other words, what if I bought the resonated one and still want more of that deep rumble? Can I switch to a non-resonated set up then (without buying another complete set)? And vice versa.

According to the listing, they offer an "AWE Resonator Conversion Kit" if you contact them to swap between resonated/non-resonated for the Touring Edition.

The Touring Edition Exhaust is available as non-resonated or resonated. We recommend the non-resonated variant for vehicles equipped with the stock downpipe. If your Supra is equipped with an aftermarket downpipe, we recommend going resonated. Have the stock downpipe but planning to go aftermarket later? No worries, you can swap in the resonated mid sections with ease via an AWE Resonator Conversion Kit. Hit us here if you’re in need of this conversion kit.

They also have other conversion kits listed on their site: AWE EXHAUST SUITE FOR THE A90 TOYOTA GR SUPRA

• AWE Touring-to-Track Edition Conversion Kit for A90 Supra
• AWE Track-to-Non-Res-Touring Edition Conversion Kit for A90 Supra
• AWE Track-to-Resonated-Touring Edition Conversion Kit for A90 Supra (rear sections only)

You will get deep rumble in any scenario. The Track and Resonated Touring run the same mid-pipe section, and the non-Resonated Touring omits this. Here is the thinking - the Resonator is just cutting some sound off of the top of the frequency range and overall volume a little bit at wide open.

With Factory Downpipe, the non-Resonated is perfect. No drone, no rasp.
With Aftermarket Downpipe, the Resonated is perfect. Cuts the rasp from Catted or Catless DP.
Track: Loud all of the time.

Thanks Dave for the informative reply. Will the non-resonated (with OEM DP) announce my coming and going to my neighbors? Keep in mind when I am on my street I am crawling at 20 mph. The non-resonated sound clip in the video in this thread sounds so good but I am concerned it may be too much in reality. That's my dilemma. Wish I could hear it in person locally.

My resonated touring will be delivered tomorrow. I'll most likely put it on Saturday so if you wait, I'll post a video with it with an OEM downpipe.
You can also look on YouTube, there's a few videos floating around with the same setup.

It's very hard to answer that question accurately but with stock DP it's easy to roll through off the gas at 20-25 and be OK. I can roll by the cops all day in ours with a roll off and be fine (the cops around here don't like the tuner scene here... haha).
