I have an after market exhaust question. You can send me raspberies or not, I don't frequent
this board as much as I should. I have come to 2 choices and looking for recommendations from any one who has knowledge.
I am going to either purchase the AWE exhaust or the APR. Complete with down pipes. I'm leaning towards APR. And do I have to worry about the sending unit wire burning over the pipe (For the gas tank)?
BTW I would choose resonators. Probably.

Those 2 exhausts are on my 'short list'
If I had to choose today, I'd probably get APR.
As for the question of the wire getting burned, I don't think you will have anything to worry about if the exhaust is installed properly.

APR downpipes are "cheap" @ $1k, compared to ~$2k for AWE
From what I've read, AWE is slightly better than APR.
But if you're getting the APR downpipes to save money, you might be better off pairing it with the APR catback as well.

Having driven both and owning the full res version...
The full res is perfect IMO. As 2putt has stated, I have lost count on the number of compliments.
The system is also mod'able down to a non-res version if you so choose.

Yes, APR and AWE don't mate up well. And AWE catback exhausts are known for not lining up well
on their own. ICS performance tuning took 12 hours to do my install to get things just right and weld the adapter between the pipes. They were "nice" and only charged me for 10 hours, since they quoted me 8 hours.
