Who’s running a AWE touring exhaust on there FL5 ?

[TheFactor]

Ya it's $500 cdn and the seller has a hoist and is willing to help install it...I guess worth taking a chance as I can sell it quickly if it doesn't work out... Right now I have a RV6 DP with the front small and far rear res removed, running the basic pop tune from Phearable... actually sounds decent

I think at that kind of deal it’s a no brainer I’d get it for sure

Why are they selling it?

New parent, switching a quieter Invidia plus he's got a couple of loud toys (r32,s2k) the type R is the daily...
he got a deal on it initially so decided to offer it cheap...

@Ac12 in my expierence the Track can be droney at certain RPMs, it does not have our 180 Tech.

That being said, it is an easy one piece swap to the Touring Editon via our conversion kit to add that in there if you find you do not like the Track Edition.

To address comments on drone on the Touring Edition, during the several days I had in the FL5 during testing and filming, I did not experience drone whatsoever and I am very familiar with drone, hence why I prefer the Touring Edition on nearly every application we offer systems for. More volume at certain points in the tach is not the same as drone, and that is not my experience with the system. That being said, if you still feel that something is up it is worth looking into with our support team, which is why we are here.

Incorrect installation of a system is the number one culprit of issues, which is why it is the first thing that we have to look into as far as providing support. Keep in mind that it is something we have to rule out in order to get to the root cause and so it will be confirmed when you reach out for help so we can understand the situation as best as we can and document accordingly.

That being said, I have first hand experience with our support team and the lengths they go through to get to the bottom of potential issues and get them resolved for customers. If anyone is having an active issue and feels that they need additional support, please shoot me a PM here with your personal/ticket info and I am happy to help facilitate a proper resolution with the support team.

Hey good morning, just wanted to provide some info related to a horrid rattle I experienced with this exhaust (AWE Touring)

About a month ago, right below the driver/passenger area a noisy rattle began to occur once the car began to warm up (never went away. Upon investigation (assuming it was related to the exhaust clamp, I thought maybe it came loose) I discovered the exhaust clamp bolt bracket was literally touching the heat shield. This was 100% user install failure. I didn’t even think about it when I installed it but naturally I put it in this position because it is the easiest position to get a socket wrench in to tighten it when installing it on jack stands. If you have a lift I’m sure it’s easier or different feeling.

My reason for posting this is because I could see many people choosing to let this happen due to lack of forethought. I could be a singular outlier here, not saying this is everyone else’s problem on the exhaust. But I loosened the clamp and rotated the bracket down more and have driven it a little since then and my noise is gone. Picture attached for relevance.

I also want to point out I’m not attempting to defend any poor quality defects causing noise by AWE, but I want people to understand the failure that occurs needs to be understood before assuming a bad exhaust. This is a perfect example of failing to install it properly.

Hopefully it helps someone!
