- My thoughts on the AWE Touring exhaust and whether or not you should consider buying this. Honestly, worth every penny and I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone considering it or looking for an aftermarket exhaust! Enjoy:)

Nice commentary. You helped me to make my decision for the AWE.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it!! I’m glad I could help! You won’t be disappointed with this exhaust
Absolutely nailed the review. I’m going for this one, with stock down pipes to start with. Cheers!
Thank you so much!! Goodluck with it and you won’t be disappointed!! Enjoy and be safe out there!
@@Dscotty last one Dscotty, forgot to ask but did you ever upgrade to the resonated downpipes? Wondering if those make a noticeable difference. Cheers! 👊🏼
@@gusfogel not yet I’m still on stock down pipes but know APR resonated downpipes are bigger than stock so I would assume it would make a difference but I’m not sure how much of a difference if it’s worth the money or not. I think last time I looked it was around 800$ for the downpipes I could be wrong though on that price.
I’m a DD RT owner I was thinking going with track. Your video may push me to touring thanks.
DScotty, just installed my Scorpion exhaust yesterday. So happy with it. Subtle around town. On WOT big dog! No drone at 70 mph. BTW, I also purchased the Scorpion downpipes. Luv it. The exhaust tips are 90 mm, the perfect size. The next upgrade is the heat exchanger, then Stage 1 034 tune for the ECU and TCU.
Yes I’m so happy you got it installed, totally worth it right! Gotta love a good sounding exhaust and I’m glad no drone either at highway speeds. Yes definitely get that tune I don’t have any experience with 034 but I hear a lot about them so I’m sure you’ll love that too! Let me know when you get the tune done too✌🏼
@@Dscotty I will. Keep your videos coming.
@@johnjuarez8005 Thank you I really appreciate the support! Got more in the works!
I'm plan to buy the s4.. RUclips brought me here.. I really like your video
Thank you so much! The S4 is a great platform car whether you wanna tune it or keep it stock you won’t be disappointed! Goodluck!
How much the price of your car
@@haziqlouis7650 it’s a 2016 and I got it back in 2018 with 28k miles on it. I paid 33k for it before taxes
went with track , sounds sooo good
Track edition is nice too! Congrats and be safe out there🤙🏼
Lollipops lmao. Mine came with laffy taffys. Also love that shirt!
Gotta love the little touches they do with their packaging lol
Thank you 🙏🏻
2021 Subaru STI owner with AWE Touring exhaust - I can't recommend it enough. If you need something more quiet, Invidia Q300 and Cobb Titanium would be my next 2 choices for sound, no rasp and no drone.
I had no idea they had this for the sti that’s so cool! Learn something new everyday! Yes I agree can’t recommend it enough!
@@Dscotty I think that the Subaru STI is the best sounding 4 cylinder engine and the AWE Touring really brings out the rumble of the unequal length headers. Must listen - enjoy! :)

@@Martin944turbo That does sound nice!! Thank you for sharing!! I’ve always been more of an evo fan vs sti but I appreciate the sti they’re nice cars for sure.
loving a new audi page to follow !
Much appreciated 🙏🏻 I try to upload as much as I can!
@@Dscotty what are the plans for the car?
@@steve-ov6wq First things first I gotta do a complete decontamination of the car since winter was pretty rough on her. Once I get her all cleaned up I’m gonna dip the whole car and redip the rims again.
@@Dscotty I’ve watched this vid so many times, I know it sounds the best according to most but with test pipes it’s maybe not the best :/ thoughts ?
@@steve-ov6wq My concern about the test pipes would be the drone. On a daily car like this I really wanted to avoid drone and I know the touring system is designed to prevent that. Also, some videos I've seen of test pipes just don't' sound good to me. I'm weary of them.
Could I get your opinion on something?
The s4 I’m considering (she’s basically mine but I’m really deciding if it’s worth it to keep for myself or trade in) has some, interesting history... and as of now it’s about $8k to fix with stock parts-
your opinion on if this is stupid thinking, but I can’t help but wonder if she is a perfect candidate for semi significant modification.
The cats are likely blown (just need upgraded exhaust)
The air filter needs a change ( time to go cold air for $50 more than replacement fee) and the only thing that’s a straight repair is the bushings/control arms. (Which can potentially be rebuilt myself with a friends lift and hydraulic press)
I love the b8.5s and she had the red interior and silver exterior.
But mechanically-am I jumping into a disaster if I want to pay less than 15k total?
Mmmm if you plan on modifying the car I personally would just go with the aftermarket parts, no sense in going stock then changing them out. For 8k you can do a lot of modifications, I did a video talking about all my kids an it was under 8k. It really comes down to what you wanna do. If there’s nothing else wrong with the car then I’d say go to the modification part but that’s just me.
Hey Man the S4 sounds great from the vid, I have a sportback with the twin scroll I the sound would be similar?
Hey thank you I appreciate it! Yeah I believe they would sound similar both sharing the v6 although probably some differences since you got the turbos vs the supercharger. I’m sure you can find some videos on here to compare
Scotty did you ever consider Scorpion Exhaust? Right now I am leaning on getting that system based on no droning. Any thoughts on it? Thanks
Honestly I didn’t really like the sound of this exhaust when I was shopping around. The sound just seemed off but then again I never heard it in person only in videos so I really can’t say much about it. I would go AWE over scorpion but it’s just personal preference. Both seem to not have drone.
Hey just got my b8.5 s5 a month ago and I’m looking at this exhaust. Love the sound of yours. But is there a difference in sound when your in comfort from dynamic mode?? And can I have a normal conversation with someone in the car while going 60mph on the highway without raising my voice?? lol
60mph and holding a conversation won’t be a problem there’s no drone with the touring edition. There’s a deeper growl compared to stock but really won’t notice a difference between those 2 modes unless you step the pedal
If you have the valves open in dynamic, is the idle louder than stock? I don’t want it to be TOO quiet
This particular system does not have active valve control where you can choose to open or close them via a button like some other systems do. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to or not. They have “track” edition of this exhaust which is louder overall compared to this one the “touring” version
@@Dscotty my b9.5 S5 has the stock electronic exhaust valves that open in dynamic and close in comfort so if your model doesn’t then I guess my question is just does it sound better idling than it does stock haha
@@Facebookman168 it’s louder for sure than stock
I have a 2014 Audi A6 3.0T prestige and i want a good exhaust system ive done a muffler delete but it sounds great but it has drone and i do not like dont in my daily i want the full aggressiveness but quiet inside i also have a cold air intake with a Rs7 Airbox i keeping looking super stock but want the same aggressiveness you have in your vehicle...please send link and some tips...thanks
You’re looking for a link to the exhaust?
Yes
@@TuneNTv1979 link is in the description of the video my friend 👍🏼
Does the touring non-resonator exhaust have drone?
Nahh no drone that’s what is great about the touring edition!
Also with installing the awe touring exhaust will i still pass smog if needed???
Pretty sure this will pass, I’ve never had to do one but it passes emission everytime I take the car in
Thanx....can you send the link to the exhaust
@@TuneNTv1979 Yes the link for the exhaust is in the description just click on it and it will take you to the exact setup I have ☺️
When i clicked the link its thd the Exhaust but not the one with the resonated downpipes its the other one but i found the number to call thanx
@@TuneNTv1979 The resonated down pipes are separate from the exhaust, you have to add that with the purchase of the exhaust if you want the resonated or non resonated down pipes. My car has stock downpipes.
So the power doesn't increase? what a bummer...
I mean it says you gain some horsepower but nothing noticeable. More for sounds in my opinion
Akrapovic or awe?
AWE Touring exhaust with stock downpipes!
Stock cats? Tuned?
Yes stock cats and yes stage 1 ECU and TCU tunes from APR
@@Dscotty Cool; I wanna keep my stock cats for drone control. If you go stage 2 or higher then the stock cats won’t last very long on our cars; at least that’s what I’ve heard. Have you upgraded to resonated down pipes yet?
@@numbaz9172 Yeah stage 2 will melt the cats so usually gotta get them gutted. Nahh I wasn’t sure what difference it would really make vs the price. But I’ve thought about it a few times
@@numbaz9172 no, stock cats have no effect on drone. I have stock cats, stage 2 dp and have tons of drone w my currant setup. Ecs res valved. I had the touring and honestly would go back to it in a heartbeat. The valves are great but the sound is not as good, the ecs gets raspy too when you open it up. I don't like rasp. Some do. You can get away with stage 2 dp on 93 Oct if you're somewhat respectable w your driving. If your racing then yeah get rid of them but I've been driving this setup for almost 3 years w no issues. I have a gorgeous set of high flow cats sitting in a box that I planned on getting installed a few years back but was afraid of what the car would sound like. It will get very loud and raspy I learned after some research. And it's not something you can just put on real quick and if you don't like it swap it back. Have to pull the engine to replace the cats and that's real expensive. If it was a muscle car I'd be down to do it but too much going on in these engine bays these days, my luck I'd get done and have a pile of parts leftover and not know where they went lol.
@@HVACRTECH-83 Thanks for the info Bryan; However I’m solely referring to the AWE touring setup.. I know the ECS system is inferior imo and creates too much rasp and drone.. I’m not looking to push my car to the limit (i.e. stage 2 or higher) or break any time records. I’m more into bolt ons and aesthetic upgrades (PPF, wheels, suspension, intake, exhaust etc). I prob won’t exceed stage 1 therefore I plan to retain stock cats and DP for as long as possible. I have prioritized my build accordingly.
Is it non resonated?
This still has the stock downpipes
@@Dscotty so it’s non resonated coz the resonated fits wth the aftermarket down pipe
@@caplusmusa9470 Its just the stock downpipe. AWE offers both you can purchase along side the exhaust system but I believe it was around an extra 800$ which is bigger than stock. L
What kind of dog is that??
No clue he’s a rescue lmao
