DRONE?!?! I recently got back from a 1,943 mile road trip with my mom, and my lovely STi. We were BOTH totally fine with the exhaust sound in the car. It was never unpleasant or droney. Almost 2,000 miles of driving, and no complaints from my mom or myself. So, you and your passengers will be fine with this catback lol.

The way you lined everything out and the edits were nice I enjoyed the video

This is how every exhaust video should be done. Great job man, just ordered this for my 2020 sti

Also, I’ve owned an SR20DET swapped 1989 S13 coupe (in 2-tone) since July of 2020. Would anyone want to see any content on it?

No problem man. You’ll love it. Nope, and thankfully no. The car is quiet right around 2,500rpm, and I don’t drive the car much. I also don’t drive in a loud way at night either which helps. You’ll honestly be good.

I have an awe touring on my 21, sounds great, quality looks like a used exhaust. They all leak slightly while cold the pipes expand once warm and seal up, just a problem with slip joints. I liked your grimspeed video, I honestly wish I would have went grimspeed, in SoCal I have to be super careful of cops being around and the throttle I give because the touring is loud Af.

@Stewbob112

Yo. Idky I just saw this. Sorry about that. I usually reply within a few minutes. No droning at all on the highway. Just like my GrimmSpeed, the only drone I get is between 2,600-3,000 rpm when decelerating. That’s basically it. On the highway, this is less noisy than my GrimmSpeed. It’s definitely lighter especially without the huge ass mufflers like stock. It’s just piping so iss lighter mayne🤘🏻

I might be biased because I own one but still believe tomei is the best sounding for our cars but besides that it’s also the lightest when I think of awe German cars pop up in my head kinda weird seeing it on a jdm car but as long as you enjoy it that’s all that matters

@Stewbob112

3 жыл бұрын

I don’t really think there’s a drone issue with the AWE track edition. It has less drone than my GrimmSpeed catback did. You’d have to drive like a grandma (in the 2,600-2,800rpm range) to get any drone. In the highway, that’s like 63mph. Around town, you’ll probably never be that low when cruising. There’s very little drone IMO. Or what I can at least say is that I’ve never been bothered by my AWE catback, and I could easily stand to drive my car, as is, across the country with no complaints as far as sound in the cabin goes👌🏻

It sounds good being that you just have the exhaust. Would it make a difference adding a down pipe?

@Stewbob112

If you are converting this from your stock catback, you’ll have the OEM springbolts attached and can just use those. I lost mine because my GrimmSpeed setup didn’t need them, so I needed to get new ones. I believe it comes with a new donut gasket though so you’ll be good there! I used my GrimmSpeed polyurethane exhaust hangers that I had still on my car from my GrimmSpeed setup though. If you want less movement of the entire setup, they’re pretty damn solid👌🏻💯

I’ve almost been waiting for this question since I put that in my intro lol. The auto/manual controls your diffs (the DCCD). You can manually change how tight you want the diffs to be, or have the car automatically do it (with preferences towards looser, middle, or tighter). I choose to manually keep my diffs as open as possible because I’m just driving around town usually and don’t need them to be tight:) I hope that answers your question!

Sorry for just seeing this. It looks like YT failed to inform me of comments on videos for the last month or so even though I constantly check🤦🏻‍♂️ Inside noise is not bad at all! The car seems almost quiet inside. You can super easily hold a conversation at any speed with the windows up or down. Drone is barely an issue. The only time there’s drone is at 2,400rpm if you hold it there. The margin for drone when accelerating is stupid small. Drone when decelerating is around 2,800-2,400rpm, and even then it doesn’t drone badly. I haven’t been bothered at all with the exhaust, and neither has my mom or any passengers when going on road trips that are a few hours in length.

Probably won’t get a response but here goes nothing! Any drone at all during normal freeway driving?

@Stewbob112

Boi I respond to everyone😁😁😁 Lol. There’s a smidge of drone on the highway. It really doesn’t bother me though because it’s not crazy bad. The real drone is between 2,600rpm and 3,000rpm. Generally, if you’re at like 2,800rpm or higher, you’re good. So, 76mph+ is that sweet spot of very little drone for me. Honestly tho, I still think the catback has very little drone overall.

Bro no you can’t. First of all why would any company trying to sell an exhaust for 1 thousand dollars ever show shitty welds? I’ve looked at both the touring and track so many times I literally can’t tell a difference anymore. That said, these come custom made so the welds are the product of which employee welds them.. some are going to be better than others but they’re not shipping faulty exhausts. They’re tested. I’m a tig welder myself and the biggest critic when it comes to this. If you saw something I didn’t post the link so we can see it.
