Default Has anyone heard an APR and an AWE exhaust side by side in person?

I like the look of the AWE with the flat tips and it looks to be a really good quality system but i'v checked out the APR on someone elses car and i really liked the sound(stealth system).

Do they sound similar? I'v heard clips on the internet but you can't tell anything from those things

Default IMO, AWE's(Thermal Research) exhaust is much better built...

Default Billy Boat fabricated...

Billy Boat(OE fabricators of the exhaust) braced later versions, only to have it crack again, in the same identical place....<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1078236.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1078236.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Not sure but....

I have APR/Billy Boat... I get lots of compliments, even from non-car people. Its just about right, but I and others have had durability issues with pipes breaking.
