Every system here is made to order. With so many different marques, cars, and options, we end up with a wide range of what is to come through the fabrication shop. A pipeline is set up to efficiently manage production and overall try to improve lead times. Every exhaust is made in house and requires many many hours to build. We'd like to express the value in our dealer network who go above and beyond to stock inventory and delivery great customer service. If you need to find a system in stock, I can do my best to help. Just know that your exhaust is being made with love right now and we'll do our best to get it to you as soon as possible! Thanks for going AWE!

I could not help but notice the car being strapped to a dyno. Care to share those results?

Frank's car was our test mule and the power numbers you see here were put down by his M on our Mustang dyno.

I do not know the stock tip size, Frank here might. 102mm is great if you want to show off that you have a performance exhaust!

There is no difference between manual and automatic, we have updated fitment on our site to be more clear!

I just measured and it was alittle over 3 inches...just a hair over 8cm

so I think each one is a step up.

Haha, thanks. For sure. I'm in Toronto/Etobicoke on a daily basis.

I have to give you a warning though, if you hear it, have your money ready as there is no way you can't purchase it afterwards. It just sounds that good.

Performance midpipe as well which was the overall selling point for me actually because of the no drilling/cutting.

Went with 90mm chrome tips which are large enough for my liking. 102s would look out of place with the stock valance but might go well with a rear diffuser.

No problem...PM anytime!

My winters were excellent last / this year (2014 / 2015). They are 17" kosei K4R, they work cause they are lightweight but for the look I think I should've gone with 18s...Bridgestone blizzack LM-32....did great in the snow and dry when no snow!

chaddy74 · 06-14-2015, 09:49 PM

Yeah I have been in comms with Mike !! I really like the look of this design ....and Mike confirms some nice gains

I will order as soon as he gives me the green light.

So is the factory exhaust valve still utilized or is it just installed into a "dummy" section.
Thanks.

Valve is not used at all. There is no CEL either.

///M235i BMW GUY · 07-02-2015, 09:39 PM

Anybody get a new system yet?

It is not utilized, and is bolted to a bracket on the exhaust where it remains dormant, pondering its existence.
