Thanks and you're welcome. Just trying my best to make informative and valuable videos to help others out there 👍. Nice! It's definitely a great sounding system.
@@cjscarcollection18 my son just got the awe touring exhaust for his ‘11 B8 A5 2.0t. We… I install it tomorrow. It’s guys like you and your videos that inspire and help. You’re the best and thanks.
It's nice how you did the before and after and with the runs this sounds better I have a 2017 S4 my buddy does custom Mufflers that might take and I put a MagnaFlow exhaust on there and it sounds really really nice it's got a deep sound different than the European sounds it's different sounds like a muscle car and I can make it sign when if I want to do but everything is welded
@nicoboiardo3612 Thanks! Yes, I tried to get before and afters to help show the difference in sound. Yes, Magnaflow makes nice mufflers for custom setups. I used to have a custom Magnaflow setup on my old S4.
Would it be easier to just pop the exhaust off the hangars with a bit of silicone spray and a pry bar? I removed the hangars on previous models (B6) but learned I could just pop them off the hangars and save some time.
Honestly, drone is barely noticeable when cruising at consistent speeds and there is actually no rasp. I honestly feel like it's not LOUD enough for me haha and am thinking about converting to the track setup. I would definitely recommend this setup if you like it mellow when driving normal and somewhat loud when getting on it.
I remember for the previous s4 you had you installed a custom setup. Do you think that setup is louder and has a better tone or is it similar to the awe touring?
Yea at this point, my old B8 S4 with the custom setup is louder. Might be a different case when I swap in the "track" section in place of the touring rear mufflers. They sound really similar, but I feel like the custom setup sounds a little better because most likely because of the 2 x-pipes.
How were your rear muffler hangars oriented after install? My drivers side was tilted forward towards the front of the car per the AWE install guide to allow pipe expansion when the system heats up, but my passenger side was pushed towards the rear of the car. I'm having fitment issues with the exhaust tips barely poking out of the diffuser and constantly having to shift them because the passenger side keeps making contact with the diffuser. Thinking I might have to replace the hangars but wanted to see if you had issues as well?
@Trolsen119 I honestly can't recall exactly cause I didn't have any crazy issues with the hangers. I do feel like both muffler hangers on mine was a little pushed towards the rear of the car but nothing crazy. I do recall having to do a bunch of adjustments to try and position the tips correctly. And the adjustments were made not only at the tips but at all connected pipes too.
@@cjscarcollection18 Appreciate the quick reply! Yeah I might just try ordering a new hanger for the passenger side to see if it'll fix the issue. Also might try your method of putting the hangers on the exhaust before mounting to the car. The whole system felt kinda short because I had to muscle it forward to be able to clamp it to the downpipes. Appreciate the video though! Car sounds great!
how loud would you say this is compared to the previous setup you had? The magnaflow 11385 to basically full straight pipe. That's the setup I have now and it sounds great. Just a little bit loud so i cant hear the whine unless im WOT :(
It's definitely not as loud as my old car's setup. I actually prefer the older setup and want it louder haha but this will do for now until I find a track section rear, although I am starting to like the touring more. You for sure could hear the whine more with the touring. Honestly, I feel like the touring would be a perfect daily driver setup for people who likes it mellow when not driving hard and somewhat loud when driving hard.
@@cjscarcollection18 ahhh i see makes sense Thanks for the reply. Im content with the setup for now but worried about the future with the whole cat situation. Just trynna get the best bang for the buck as I am a college student lol. Thanks for your vids it really helps out. Are you planning on going catless in the future or no? also how are the solowerks coilovers holding up? I was looking into them
@ravishekchand2699 no probs, I totally understand. I'm glad my videos could be of help to others out there. I actually do not plan on going catless because California is pretty strict about that. I hope my cats will last and I actually think it will cause it's just a daily driver and I don't have 2step or burble or be racing everyone on the streets. Solowerks has been holding really good so far. Still no complaints and still loving it for a daily driver.
@@cjscarcollection18 ahh i see makes sense since your in cali and its a daily, and thanks for the info about the coilovers. Last question i got. I know you have extensive knowledge on these platforms and i’ve dug all over and cant seem to find a good catless exhaust setup. they all sound terrible or cost like 5k. any ideas??
@ravishekchand2699 I don't have experience with going catless on this platform but from what I have seen throughout the Facebook groups is that gutted stock cat pipes sounds best. If going with an aftermarket catless testpipe you'll have to add more resonators to remove rasp.

ran this for 5 years. Perfect Mod
Nice! Definitely sounds good for sure
You are the gold standard on how every exhaust video should be presented.Thank you! Picked up my awe touring for the s4 this week.

Sounds really good.
@@notnoel8904 yea this setup sounds pretty good.

Sounds amazing
Definitely does 👍👊
Sounds awesome!
Thanks! Not loud enough for me though haha

Great video and super helpful. Didn’t know the b8 exhaust was so modular! Can’t wait to get awe for mine
Thanks, I'm glad my videos could be of help to others out there 👍 nice! You'll definitely like it 👍
Thank you for all the sound clips 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your welcome 👍👊
Sounds good to me....might wanna try the non resonated dp's if you want it louder
Yea, looking into the non resonated downpipes or track
like all the different sounds clips you did instead of just rev and startup
Thanks 👍👊 was trying my best to get real type driving sound clips
Sounds great, and really enjoyed your video. Looking for something similar for my B7 Avant.
Thanks 👍 yea it does sound pretty good. I'm pretty sure AWE has a system for B7s as well
Would it be easier to just pop the exhaust off the hangars with a bit of silicone spray and a pry bar? I removed the hangars on previous models (B6) but learned I could just pop them off the hangars and save some time.
I honestly felt it was easier to unbolt/bolt the hangers vs prying them off but that way is also a good way to do it.
How’s the drone and rasp?
Currently only have an x-pipe done and if the drone & rasp isn’t crazy bad I’ll definitely consider getting one of these
Honestly, drone is barely noticeable when cruising at consistent speeds and there is actually no rasp. I honestly feel like it's not LOUD enough for me haha and am thinking about converting to the track setup.

Awe's are good but how's the drone on the highway?
Yea. Drone is actually barely noticeable on the highway. I actually included snippets of highway driving and you can barely here the exhaust haha

Do you have a dark blue diffuser?
Ohh no it's gloss black haha
@@cjscarcollection18 oh alright, probably the reflection. I bought a s4 and all of the aftermarket parts are dark blue for some reason
@BizBoofa17 yea most likely reflection. Hmmmm really? Have pictures?
Yeah one moment
I’ll add you on ig
I want an S4 soo bad
You should definitely get one. Great cars for sure 👍
how long did the install take?
Pretty long because of making this video haha but I feel like it could be installed within a couple of hours honestly
