I just installed mine. Drove several hundred miles. Don't get the track version if you don't like drone. 85 mph around 3500 rpm drones. 70 mph no issues. The exhaust sounds good but it also introduces vibrations in the cabin. I will most likely be ordering the touring edition with the mufflers. For reference I'm on a stage 1 APR tune stock downpipe and I'm also almost 50 years old.
I was able to drown out the drone with my stereo on my 6-hour drive but I can't imagine driving this thing for long drives on the highway. The drone isn't enough to give you a headache but it's very noticeable and just not pleasant for long drives.
@@du3lcitiz3n Appreciate the heads up mane. I recently went with the CS Muffler and currently in love with it. So until i get bored, its the CS Muffler for now
To get the stock exhaust with valves open, did you just put the car in RACE mode, or is there a way to have them open in Comfort and Sport modes too? 😮
I've heard them nearly all at this point, depends on what you're wanting valving wise really but the Race from Milltek or Track from AWE would both be good options!
Woooowww love how the Track sounds amazing. Very bassy with no rasp! Makes this engine finally sound good.
Agreed!
just ordered mine yesterday, can't wait to have it installed.

I had the AWE track on my Mk 7.5 and loved it. Awesome systems from AWE

As someone who has heard both in person, what are your thoughts on this system vs Milltek race on a stock DP?

Do they offer a valved system?
AWE does not, there are other brands though that do if you feel you want the valves @@scottroberts5529
do the sound clips on a 6spd car those dsg farts are horrid the 6spd car will sound million times better
no u
The tips are a bit too large.
We like to think the size compliments the car well, especially when lowered! But to each their own!
Wtf? They're to small if anything
😂 nah they’re perfect
