i just checked in with the lonely valve.....he's got no friends but likes where he's living now. not much to do, but has a great new neighbor.

just got mine a few days ago at supremepower (muffler and mid pipe). LOVE the exhaust. LOVE LOVE LOVE. the ONLY small thing is that it seems to have a LITTLE drone right at 3000RPM and only if there's a slight load. but this exhaust really does make a difference... sounds SO much better. now i'm afraid if i put a downpipe on, it'll be too loud

IT LOOKS GREAT!!! I like the high polish on the white. You could totally do the downpipe and only enhance it that much more with better flow!

Yeah, trying to decide between AR and Fabspeed. I heard FAbspeed actually offers a warranty on the cat

yeah, almost twice as much... but I heard that the fabspeed uses a higher quality cat that would last longer? (ok, read that on this forum and it was stated by fabspeed themselves)

Took a quick video from my dashcam. Still want to get an outside video.

This is mated with the AR Design HFC Downpipe.

My AWE Exhaust with midpipe is finished and now it's in transit to Supreme Power! It's been almost 6 weeks so far. Can't wait!

I think I need to post a new video after having some miles and really enjoying this exhaust. I really have to let everyone know that this system is top notch and I get complements everywhere!

The other nite I just floored it in sport mode and shifting just totally sounds like a F1 car to some degree.....I know its not 100% like it but close. Love it and love this car.

Justin's going to send me the sound clip he recorded. I'll post it when I receive it. It sounds awesome! I have to get used to it. It's kinda loud

Hey guys was looking to do BMW MPE initially, but the AWE system really caught my attention. Any key differences between the two? Both sound great to me, just wondering what warrants the $6-700 difference for the AWE over MPE (can get MPE for $790 shipped)

I had the Mpe and was very disappointed in the sound. It sounded almost stock. AWE w midpipe sounds MUCH better. For me it was worth the extra price. Do it!
