Impressions/Review: AWE Touring Catback

[Neo1967]

I have the Resonated Touring Edition with stock downpipe (for now) and it sounds awesome! NO rasp or "tin can" sound. A nice sound without being obnoxious.

I have the Resonated Touring Edition with stock downpipe (for now) and it sounds awesome! NO rasp or "tin can" sound. A nice sound without being obnoxious.

I want to be as objective as possible with my review as I had a chance to put some miles on our 2020 Launch Edition for our Flying Quarter Mile season 2 feature. (30-roll, 1/4ish mile test of 10 cars).

I owned an N55 135i with a high-flow catted DP, stock resonator and muffler delete. That car sounded amazing.

I can tell you, the Touring (non-Res) with stock DP and our (To be released!) Carbon intake sounds absolutely money!! I could not believe how awesome it sounded in the car and out. I might take the resonated Touring myself just to keep everything super in check if I were to go with a DP.

I don't love but don't hate the S55, but the B58 sounds so good!!! Love every opportunity I have to drive the Supra!

I can't wait to get mine.

I ordered the non-res last week, so hopefully soon.

I plant to stick with the OEM intake (HKS filter) and OEM DP for now, so I ordered the non-res.

I've never heard any of them in person and it's difficult to make a decision even based on the countless YouTube videos. However, from my research, the non-res appears to have a bit more "edge" in sound - comparable to the stock F-Type V6S sport exhaust which is incredible.

I can always add the resonator conversion kit later if I decide it's "too much" or if I decided to add an aftermarket DP.

@Dave/AWE, with the resonator conversion kit, can it be added to one side of the exhaust while having the other non or do they have to be used together as a pair? I only noticed that when I received a price quote for EACH instead of them being sold as a pair.

Ah, sorry if I was the one who sent you that info. On the Supra there is a left and right resonated mid-pipe. You would want both (ideally). If you ran one you'd have an unpredictable outcome sound-wise.

@Dave/AWE
Could be niche for you guys, you could put a valve in the Y pipe behind the downpipe. Resonated Touring with a muffler on one side, Track version on the other, change from left to right exit at will.

No worries. I just got the idea from the Magnaflow XMod series where it appears you can add/delete one side (or both) of the muffler or resonator to mix and match the sound volume and tone.

Whaaa you guys are developing an intake too?! Glad I waited. I'll be ordering the track edition exhaust with black tips soon-ish. Still breaking in my car (don't drive it much). Can't wait to see the intake!

I don't know how much I am allowed to say, but yes, there will be 2 versions of it as well. Open and closed. It's on our A90 here. Very nice, looks amazing, notable performance increases, etc.

No worries, I will patiently await the official release of this system Definitely going closed.

I have their open and closed intake in one of my other turbo vehicles. Its the biggest diameter intake on the market. I imagine they'll make a great intake for the Supra..

I can't wait for it to be released. It went through a very extensive R&D process on the dyno with stock and stage 1 cars (we have a 2020 A90) and I think the A90 crowd will be very happy with it!

When do you anticipate the intakes will be ready?
