Magnaflow or HKS Exhaust

[Quantum]

I've been contemplating between Magnaflow and HKS exhaust. From people who have either here which do you think I should go with.

HKS is heavily backordered til June, if it doesn't get delayed again.

Why only those two? Looking for a valved exhaust?

Valve isn't mandatory, I just enjoyed the sound of Magnaflow and HKS the most. AWE and Boostlogic were my go to for non valve. Which do you think/your opinion?

AWE is one of our best sellers, great bang for your buck, not loud enough to need valves either.

The Touring Non Resonated w/ Black Tips was up there for me do y'all have that instock? Gonna see if anyone else has opinions before I fully decide

Not in stock but inbound in a couple of weeks. People are preordering current batch.

Of course, let us know! We carry HKS too but lot of people aren't buying it because of the insane wait times. Some people have been waiting 6+ months already.

The AWE lineup is great. Looks and sounds are AWEsome (see what I did there? Lol.)

HKS is also up there, but I'm not a fan of burnt/titanium tips.

I just wanted an exhaust that retained the valve for more customization, so I went with the Magnaflow xMOD. Love it so far!

If you didn't care about the valve would you have chose AWE?

Absolutely! And I did. Initially I had the Touring (non-resonated) before switching. Loved it in Sport mode with the stock DP, but I knew it was going to be loud with an aftermarket DP (future plan) and I also wanted to quiet down a bit in Normal mode, so I went with a valved option.

Which sound do you prefer of the two?

It's all a preference. The AWE is definitely deeper sounding.

I have the Magnaflow with only the fuller on the driver's side - like the setups in the Borla and aFe. I prefer it this way. But it may change once I get the catted DP in there. I'll have to play around with it.

I prefer a little more exotic growl than deep V8 sound for this car. I was going for a Jag Type-S note. Lol.

I have the AWE resonated touring with an AA catted DP and it sounds IMMENSE. No valve wasn't an issue for me, and a few buddies have AWE exhausts on their F80 and F22s and have loved them. I really really recommend the AWE.

Here is a sound byte, but it does not convey how deep the sound is.

Nice!

AA catted DP is what I ordered as well. Can't wait!

I see yours is a '21 - are you tuned? If not, no CEL, right?

Locked ECU, so no tune. Have had exhaust and DP installed for 350 miles with no CEL thus far.

probably getting AWE touring non res setup this week from a forum member, currently have stock dp and a res delete, hope its loud and deep, but not to the point where I will regret not having a valved setup. anyone have more videos of awe touring non res with stock dp, besides the ones from awe and first couple on youtube.
