Hey all!
went ahead and ordered the AWE touring edition exhaust during their sale a couple months back (maybe that’s the issue). Got the exhaust installed and double checked over. First day I immediately notice a sound that is best described as a tone shift in the exhaust note. Sounds like a trombone or a light saber as it swings through the air. Like a WOMPPP. The sound would only come at low RPMS and on downshifts around 2-3k range. Next day I took it to an authorized dealer (I have read stories about people who have placed claims with them, so I wanted to stick by the script in case). The dealer looked it over. We checked every clamp. No heat shields rubbing. Could produce the sound on lift. No leaks, etc. the sound appeared to be coming from either the middle muffler or the suitcase in the rear. But judging by the tone it has to be internal and nothing hitting the car. Have a chain started with AWE support but my first videos weren’t enough, and I haven’t received a response from the other 4 that I sent (super hard to film a noise with an iPhone….while driving). Was seeing if anyone else has had an issue like this as I’m trying to enjoy my car and my $1600 exhaust but I’m getting left in the dark here. And searching AWE issues just makes me more nervous with all the threads I’ve found. Pulling up to a cars and coffee sounding like I have a fart can on a type R isn’t fun . Anyone help!?
