Default AWE exhaust review

Finally got around to installing the AWE touring exhaust. I know it's been reviewed a few times here, but here's another brief one. Originally shipped wrong tips but customer service was great shipping the black ones (thanks Will). There was a little work with fitment, but nothing too difficult. Installed with my buddy on his lift.

As others have said, sound is incredible. Absolutely NO DRONE. None while cruising at any speed. My S5 had a Billy Boat exhaust that had some drone at 1800 rpm, but this exhaust truly has none (so it will be wife-approved). Great sound at WOT and any acceleration. Blips on downshifts never sounded better. I now drive in sport mode a lot more just to hear the downshifts. My radio is off a lot too. Maybe not as aggressive as some want, but perfect for me.

Overall I'm very happy with the quality, fitment, looks, and best of all, the sound.

Nice, Do you have any pics of the rear of the car?

I do but the tips don't show very well due to sunlight. I'll try to take another one in my garage and post it.

Give it about a 1000 miles to break in. Sound gets yummier(yeah, I said that).

Wish I could but I don't have a driveway since I live in a condo.

I guess my stock is going to the side of the road lol.
