I have AWE Touring exhaust and Im planning to convert to Track, has anybody tried this? Is it too loud or just little louder. Though I really don't want it too loud that wakes up the neighborhood.
If you have a downpipe I don't know if you can pass emission test. Though Im not sure if this is true. We have emission test in my place. Though it's more expensive does it produce more power?
Yes, it's been turned off for quite a while now. I think I turned it off within the first couple weeks that I bought it. Honestly the drone wasn't really bad at all. I mainly did the touring conversion midpipe because I have plans to install a awe downpipe.ATR, do you have your soundaktur disabked? I ask because the only time i've heard drone in my AWE track CB was with that thing on.
MAIC, I couldn't imagine paying more for a CB and have it quieter than the track IMO. Also, you are not going to wake up the neighborhood, especially when you keep the revs below 3k, after that is when it starts to make some noise.
AWE's downpipe is guaranteed not to pop a CEL Most places across the country just do a OBD2 hookup. So long as no check engine light is lit and the exhaust does not smell like raw gas they won't suspect anythingYes, a downpipe is really the only exhaust mod that will yield a decent power increase on this car, but you will need a JB4 or a tune to really take advantage of it. Just the cat-back exhaust won't really add much HP, it's really mainly just for sound. Maybe a couple HP perhaps, but nothing you can really notice.
Yes, emissions will be tough with a DP. Best to check with others in your area. Some DP's have better quality catalytic converters (GESi) and may be able to pass emissions in some places, but I'm not really the one to ask. The only DP that will always pass a visual inspection is the stock DP.
