It does; any setup without a muffler will drone. The switch path is better if you are worried about the drone.

Wasn't aware AWE track used a muffler. Thought it was just a straight pipe.

They are the same except the switchpath has 2 valves to decrease the sound. The track does not have any valves.

it's quieter when you close the valves which make the drone less as well. Not saying this is the best exhaust if you are looking for a drone-free exhaust but it's better than the track.

That's what I've never understood and isn't expressed on their website.

I have the axle back switch path with a custom x pipe.
Before replacing secondary downpipes - no drone whatsoever After replacing secondary downpipes - drone from 1800-2200 rpms. I really only notice this drone in 8th gear when cruising at 80 on the freeway. |

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone have experience with just the AWE track Axle back? 18 base exhaust, how loud will this be? just deleting the rear section leaving the resonator and 4 cats. Still DD friendly? cant imagine it will be much louder than the TRX, it just has two inline bullet style mufflers for the entire exhaust.

Can you show me on the doll where the bad AWE people touched you lol, You jumped on two different threads to talk trash them. I bet your the type of guy at gatherings who for no reason at all asks people to guess how expensive your watch is

I've just installed the switchpath it does increase resonance (drone) valves open or closed. Less audible drone when valves closed. It's not objectionable but it is there in that 1800-2200 rpm range. Stock DP and cats.
Im sure maverick is trolling a bit but his burning question about 2 outlets vs 4 - exhaust sound is a pulse wave not a continuous one and a change in geometry or blocking devices (valves / mufflers) will change perceived volume and frequency of those pulses. a muffler is typically a series of baffles to break the sympathetic pulse of the engines exhaust sound pulse. The same amount of expended gases is emitted without the sympathetic pulsing audio. |

AWE makes awesome stuff, I had track exhaust on my RS3 and it was amazing. Just ordered one for my F90. I'm excited. |

I have to say the AWE is pretty real - stainless mandrel bent 3" all the way through. I guess its lack of CHItanium and flame blued tips must make it not a real system.

I just ordered an AWE system. I will update after the install on sound / drone. So far just communicating with them has been great. They have quick turn around time on email answeres. To me that is a tremendous win even before receiving the system.

I’ve been contemplating on some exhaust options for my F90 LCI M5 Comp. I’m guessing you’ve worked with almost all reputable exhaust brands and hence I’m asking this question to see if it can help put an end to my never ending research and state of confusion. What according to you is the best exhaust for the M5? I’m looking for a loud but least raspy setup, something that can accentuate the V8’s rumble. I’m also planning catless secondaries to go with it. Not touching primaries. Would greatly appreciate your response. Thanks!
