easy cowboy, I have a $75 LG phone. I guarantee the audio quality of the AE video will blow mine away. Not worth it for me to try.

Happy you're happy, G!

Regarding the instructions -- they're digital, accessed via QR code (found on the card included with your goods) and/or our site so they're always up-to-date incase any changes are made, there aren't any "previous" versions of instructions circulating.

That sounds great! I would like to hear it in person and in the inside. If it sounds like my Borla S with a little less rasp and no drone, I may go down this path eventually!

That sounds great! Not too loud and mirrors the stock tone which I like. Might look into this.

So... Took a 25 mile ride on the highway today to visit a friend. I was in 5th and 6th gear, 1900 to 3300 rpms. I could not detect any drone whatsoever. I am very very happy with this catback. In 5th gear (arpund 3300 rpm) it is a little loud in the car but nothing to give you a headache, 6th gear almost sounds stock inside

Best sounding 5.0 S-550 exhaust I've heard yet considering no drone involved.

I apologize if anyone asked this earlier but does cat back really provide gains in HP and TQ over an axle-back??

If i install an axle back with resonator delete and H-pipe, will i have similar HP/TQ gains over a cat-back exhaust?

I remember reading this in another forum that installing cat-back or axle back does no good to HP/TQ (unless you tune your car).

Your buying a catback or axleback for noise, that's it. If I gained 10HP with this catback I would be shocked. BUT the driving enjoyment has gone up several levels and to me its worth it

 

[Sekhon]

so axle backs and cat-backs are purely for noise purpose ?

don't forget weight reduction (just helping us all justify this purchase)

Yep. No confusion. Your gaining such Little hp that your really just doing it for a better exhuast note. You aint going to feel 8 hp!!!

Would be curious to hear how this sounds with ARH catted longtubes.

Damn.. I was in the market for corsa extreme quad tips for my car and now I am completely second guessing myself.

The difference for me is the X-pipe vs H-pipe. Both are high quality systems. Personally, I'm leaning towards the Corsa Sport because of the 3" direct connect to ARH headers for a full 3" setup with no tapering.

This AWE system is really nice though. The welds and everything look fantastic.
