Has anyone here installed the AWE Track exhaust and had some regrets about it? Mostly concerned about how bad the drone is at higher speeds, is it tolerable?

No regrets at all. No issues with fitment. Drone is bearable to me, but someone else might think different. Best bang for your buck exhaust for the F90.

Depends on the person, if you are not used to track systems, you probably will not tolerate the drone

would just the axle back version be bad? Loudness wise is the axle back still DD friendly? with all 4 cats and resonator still in place

I don't think so, but that will depend on the person. If you are unsure about it, start with the axle back only.

I've been a bit confused about this too for a minute...I currently have the MAD lower downpipes that some people call midpipes. My understanding of catback exhaust vs axel back is the addition of the midpipes, so do I even need the catback or will the axel back do?

Currently torn between X pipe, or just the track axle back.

the catback system will start at the end of the secondarys back to the mufflers. Midpipe refers to the resonator section of the exhaust.

if you got just the axleback your resonator would stay in place, if you got the catback your resonator would come out.

Primary downpipes - Secondary downpipes - Midsection/resonator - Rear Section/axle back

This is how the F90 exhaust is setup if I'm not mistaken

Mad downpipes are also the cheapest downpipes and identical to any $800+ ones.

LMFAO.. is this your first rodeo? You always get what you pay for. You can think they're identical and you can look at pictures all you want but I can promise you one thing, the $300 stuff isn't identical to the $2000 stuff , And you have to be silly to think so.
With aftermarket parts you pay money for perfect fitment and quality materials ..when you don't pay, you don't get perfect fitment and quality materials. its that simple

Don't mind bimmerbeast9. Dude mad that his 530i doesn't sound good with any exhaust.

I had the AWE track exhaust for my RS5 and now the F90. Never had any fitment issues or quality control issues. It is LOUD, but bearable in my opinion (may be different to someone else). Unless you want titanium, I think AWE is the best bang for your buck stainless steel exhaust for the F90. Two buddies of mine had fitment issues with the Remus and Armytrix exhausts.

I had Remus exhaust on my X3M Comp, and had issues with the dry carbon tips delaminating. That was a $4500 exhaust.

AWE makes a good product for a good price. It is an alternative to the CRAZY expensive Akra or Remus systems out there.
