Hello everyone my name is Joe and reside in Philadelphia PA. Just wanted to bring to your attention that AWE is coming out with an exhaust for our vehicle and I am lucky enough to have dealt with them on multiple builds I’ve had. Soon I will be posting a review on the system and will share photos/videos when I’m allowed too 😅. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us from them, their products are always top notch and best in the business. Any questions add me or DM. Also can be found on IG j0ey_D the 0 is a zero.

Thank you for the reply and the update on weight.
Quick question, any future plans on different exhaust tips?

Are you trying to sabotage our race program by filling the exhaust that you sent to us with lead?!

Different as in finish or style?

There have been a few numbers thrown around. I have not weighed them yet. But I would go off of what AWE states it weighs. Track Edition: 28.5 lbs | Touring Edition: 37.5 lbs | stock exhaust: 33 lbs.
Different finish; burnt, cf, etc...

Thank you for everything @Sara/AWE 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Definitely the best looking tips of any exhaust available for the GRC imo 
On the touring exhaust, how is the ~2k rpm resonance compared to stock? I see you mention minimizing drone at highway speeds, but I find the lower parking lot speeds are where it has that nasty resonance/buzz -- first or second gear around 1800-2500 is the worst and when you're spinning 3-4k on the freeway it's well away from that range.

Gotcha, we will not be offering other finishes, we believe the diamond black compliments the rear valence as well as the center tip design.
Can you guys also do sound clips with your downpipe+midpipe? I’m interested in how that would sound.Here’s a weight comparison! The stock exhaust is extremely light!

Heck yeah! 🤝
Any feedback from those who have the touring setup? I can't stand the stock exhaust boominess...

Hey I can assure you when you first start driving you know there is an exhaust installed lol. As you get up in speed it is not bad at all. I wouldn't say it's drone. The GRC is not insulated much from the factory in which it does sound as loud as it does.
Gotcha, thanks for the feedback. Would you say the ~2100rpm boominess is louder, the same, or quieter?
I am trying to see if the "180 technology" is to generally minimize drone of a loud aftermarket exhaust, or if it is specifically tuned for this vehicle and the resonance in that area of the rpm range (especially at parking lot speeds). I'm really interested in this exhaust and don't mind if it makes more noise elsewhere in the rpm range, I just really don't want that resonance to be ANY louder.

All of our 180 Tech resonators are specifically tuned for the specific chassis/engine combo and 180 Technology's sole purpose is to kill drone frequencies, so it does little to limit volume. That being said, the AWE systems all around are louder than stock at all RPMs.
They REALLY need to hire a better welder tho.
The welds are a bit on the bubbly side and there's quite a bit of oxyde type 1(grey deposit) and 2(nice colors but still not good) on the welds.
If it had type 3 oxydes(golden finish evenly distributed) only I'd buy this sytem at this price.
But with these welds I'll go with something else.

I noticed this too in some of the photos I've seen. Between this and the lack of a real mounting solution for the valve motor, I am thinking this was sort of rushed to market. It's a shame because it does sound good.
