Since the sound wasn't much difference, I'm going with the track package. I'm old school so drone doesn't bother me. Thank you for the video. My Z06 has a stage 3 cam, so this should be very interesting.
I have the 15 Z06 with the AWE Xpipe and track exhaust. Love the sound. Now having ARH long tube headers and a TSP stage 3 Cam package. Can’t wait to see what this set up will sound like and HP gain.
I’ve been debating on what brand exhaust to get after watching one of your other videos a week ago with your daughter installing that X pipe in the touring exhaust I like it so much. I immediately ordered that system. Can’t wait to put it on. Your videos are great. Look forward to seeing more.
Were you able to hear the difference in the video? I tried to get a solid comparison but it's difficult to capture the nuances of the 2 systems. Truthfully, can't go wrong with either choice. Thanks for commenting and watching! Appreciate the support!
I have both systems. Only ran the track for a few weeks. It’s been a few years and I haven’t put it back on since. The touring sounds much better in my opinion. More of a tuned sound over just some straight pipes.
Oscar, so I just have C7 stock stingray. I heard when he added just the xpipe you couldn't tell much diff when cruising (30-40mph). I want to make my C7 sound louder when cruising, but not extremely loud. I don't think AWE sells xpipes anymore so might go Bora over Corsa. Hoping it would sound nice with the xpipe without having to change out the stock exhaust. What's your opinion on it?
@@jonmotors6016 it’s great. I find it just right. They make a conversion kit as well that bands in and out if you’d like to throw the mufflers/baffles on and off. Nice idea.
Is there any fitment issues or rubbing of any kind? I had the track edition on my 18 STi and the tips rubbed the exhaust cutouts on the bumper and ruined the finish of the diamond black tips. It was a known issue on the Subarus. It sounded great but I was disappointed with the fitment. Now that I have a C7 I'd like to purchase this exhaust for it, but only if the fitment isn't an issue.
Solid plan! C7 over C8 is solid too. I’ve driven C8’s and I like them. But the C7 is a blend of raw performance and sophistication unmatched by the C8. Especially with a manual transmission. lol. All of the major exhaust manufacturers have dropped their xpipes that remove the secondary cats. So yeah, it’s getting real tough to find them. The silver lining...the C7 is a killer car even with the stock xpipe.
It’s the EOS ZR1 ZTK high wing spoiler. We have them up on the site. five12garage.com/collections/c7-corvette-extreme-online-store/products/eos-zr1-ztk-high-wing-conversion-c7-corvette-z06-gs-stingray

Super loud doesn't mean it sounds amazing. When running straight pipes you NEED some sort of a resonator to clean up the sound. I really like yours better! I finally got my zr1 side vents installed. Absolutely love them! It really makes the car look different and standout. It was a B**** to install but got it done!
Last year I got the touring and x-pipe after seeing your first drive with it and you were right I’m still loving it
Totally changes the car. I still love this setup too! 🤘🔥🤘

I have a similar setup now on my 2016 C7Z. AWE touring /ARH Catless/ TSP stage 2 cam. It’s loud and roars

Thanks for doing this! I have had the AWE touring exhaust in my cart for a few months now!!! Going to pull the trigger!
Did you ever get it ? And how do you like it if so
Love the sound of both. But the track sounds more aggressive.

@@Team512 yes I was able to hear the difference.
@@Team512what’s your opinion in person? Which sounds more aggressive?

Maybe I’m tripping. But they sound so similar it’s hard to tell through video
I feel the same way, so I went with the track because it's cheaper..... 😂
Got the track edition on my C7 Stingray with an x pipe. Just a heads up before buying, its extremely loud in person. wish it would came with npp.

I purchased the touring axle back...Man I wish I could still get that x pipe
Well, I like both!! They sound amazing.
Agreed! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Tough call. I picked the Track Edition for my 2022 C8. Will see if I regret it or not. 🤞 AWE sounds great. Thanks for this video!
How you like the Awe Track? I just ordered mine
@@jonmotors6016 it’s great. I find it just right.

Is the Corvette take over still happening this Saturday 4/24/21 in Hamilton I would be coming from Connecticut
Yes sir! I would highly recommend getting there early. Can’t wait to meet you!
Sounds good both ! 😎
Totally agree!!!

Are there any discount or promo codes for the AWE site?
I'm sold on the Touring, but what is the story with X-Pipe availability? Are all states affected by this?
Yep. The EPA is cracking down on any product that defeats an emissions control device, ie. catalytic converters.
@@Team512 Thanks. My timeline is garage construction > c7 purchase (Yes, over c8) > awe purchase(s). X-Pipe still available? Recommendations?

@@Team512 Thanks for the info. How about Touring + AWE X-Pipe vs Touring + Stock xpipe video? :) *salute*
Great question! I have had both setups, and have a video with the stock xpipe. It’s not much different with the stock xpipe.
😎👍🏾💯🔥....sounds awesome...can’t wait to get my C7GS or C7Z06 this fall
Yeah buddy!!!
Headers and cats?
No headers. Primary cats still in tact.
What kind of wing on the black GS ?
It’s the EOS ZR1 ZTK high wing spoiler. We have them up on the site.

I swear without the drone you might as well not get an aftermarket exhaust. Every time I’ve had a zero-drone exhaust it makes the car feel numb.
Track sounds better

Touring definitely sounds better based off of this video

Thanks man! Glad you got them installed. It’s definitely not a fun job.
@@Team512 its not fun at all! Lol but should be easier next time if it has to be done!
I would charge someone an arm and a leg to install them. 😂
@@Team512 hell yeah! That's a good business! Lol 😄 I just like that nobody around me has these vents 😁
I like the track better. It sounds more lopey, like my C5 z06 I put the slp loudmouth exhaust on.
If you know where I can get an AWE X PIPE please contact me
i prefer the touring system when it was aczept in europa😁
Have you had car problems in the c7 ?
No issues after almost 12k miles.
Thks im thking about getting one soon
These kinds of tests need to be done with a cheap db meter.
Check my channel. I did db tests for both systems.
@@Team512 Good deal. You can put a link to the video in the description and an overlay on your video post edit.
sound the same to me - ok strike that touring sounds better ...
I have a 19GS and I prefer the touring.....
Yes!!!
I like the touring better
damn right.
Yeeezzzzz!!!
I have the Touring, its just a better sound. The Track is just too much IMO
I love the sound of the Touring too. Fits the C7 quite well.
Touring
The touring sounds better. Track has that loose fart sound
