Any idea on how Borla Switchfire with Borla s type axle back sounds?Anyone looking to do this... Spotted on FB marketplace.
I had been looking to switch it up a bit and thanks in part to your journey took a closer look at the AWE Touring. Thinking of pulling off my rear section with the Corsa Xtreme mufflers paired with the Vibrants and replacing with the AWE Touring "axle back" that would then mate into the double x pipe.That's a bummer.
Their whole catback sounds incredible though, so I get it.
The full catback is 3", yeah. I'd love to hear what it sounds with a double X but it is actually louder than the Xtreme unresonated. The resonators are necessary, IMO.I had been looking to switch it up a bit and thanks in part to your journey took a closer look at the AWE Touring.

While it's true they aren't making an axle back for the 18, I reached out to them directly and they offered to send the rear section by itself, with or without the over axle pipes(everything but the H pipe). In my case I'm pretty sure can get away with out the over axle then have my shop fab the connection.
You mentioned your axle back was 2.5", I assume the full cat back is 3" but I should probably confirm that if I end up going that route lol.
Ended up pulling the trigger on the AWE touring "axle back". Just waiting on them to build and ship. Don't think I've seen / heard it paired with the Corsa double X so should be interesting.The full catback is 3", yeah.

Incredible! But gonna be loud lolEnded up pulling the trigger on the AWE touring "axle back". Just waiting on them to build and ship. Don't think I've seen / heard it paired with the Corsa double X so should be interesting.
Lol I came to terms with it. No more condo living so now cold starts happen backed in with garage door shut. Drive out once its calmed down. But the Vibrants really did their job everywhere else on the Corsa just time for something different. And the AWE Touring seems to fit the bill.Incredible! But gonna be loud lol
I agree. Amazing sound with stock headers and X pipe. Can't imagine with LTs.Lol I came to terms with it. No more condo living so now cold starts happen backed in with garage door shut.

Finally got this setup done. Definitely better tone in the low and mid rpm. Definitely less trumpety than the Corsa was at WOT before the Vibrants were added. Total volume maybe a tad less than the Xtremes without the Vibrants. Definitely happy went this route.I agree. Amazing sound with stock headers and X pipe. Can't imagine with LTs.
Nice!! How easy was it to get the 3" axleback section from AWE? @Bluemustang and I would like to know. I agree on the tone: more growl/deeper in the low and mid, and less trumpety. It's my favorite so far of both Corsa catbacks, Borla ATAK, and AWE Touring. Interesting that you found it quieter than the Xtremes w/o the Vibrants. When I installed it I definitely found it louder. Maybe a 2.5" vs 3" difference? I would really like to hear it with the double helix X on stock headers (I'm not planning to go to LTHs).Finally got this setup done.

It was honestly as easy as reaching out to AWE directly, explaining what I wanted, and they gave me a couple options. Side note the diamond black quad tips on the AWE are pretty nice even compared to the black Corsas.Nice!!

I agree, I like the diamond black as well. How much was it? PM me if you've been asked not to distribute.It was honestly as easy as reaching out to AWE directly, explaining what I wanted, and they gave me a couple options.
