Hi everyone! Thanks for the great video, Z. Just chiming in to lend some insight on the Touring's design and the volume affiliated. Most may assume the Touring Edition will be very quite given it has dual resonators in the rear. The resonators in the rear are our patented 180 Technology®configurations that feature a (quite literal) straight-through design with zero packing material like a traditional reso/muffler. Their primary purpose is to isolate frequencies responsible for producing drone and destroy them, all without interrupting the flow of the exhaust. Due to the lack of packing material, the exhaust note will not change or degrade over time -- this often happens with exhausts that use typical packed mufflers as their material breaks down over time and thus influencing the sound. The Track Edition will sound nearly identical as the Track Edition outside of the car -- the primary difference occurs at highways/cruising speeds. Finally, the Touring Edition and 180 Tech within it are very much controlled by the throttle, thus allowing you to creep if needed. Cold start, as with most cars, can be rowdy -- but as ya noted, it calms down after the cats are warm. Anyone watching that has questions, reach out to us on IG, or direct via performance@awe-tuning.com. Cheers 🤘
I was going to comment to zygrene that I'm curious how the sound might change after a few miles of "break-in". Sounds like nothing will change over time, by design! I have to admit I was definitely shocked by how loud the touring was especially given the existence of the track edition. But it's truly amazing how much boxer rumble you get just from installing this catback, with no header mods needed! Any chance there are db measurements available inside the cabin?
@@cdsprech it will smoothen out a little after about 1K miles purely given the inside of the exhaust pipes get lined with soot (naturally), but beyond that, it'll remain the same full-bodied tone through its entire lifetime.
The fact that AWE wanted your unadulterated, non sugarcoated thoughts in a RUclips "review" is huge. That alone tells me this company is run by decent, down to earth people. Some people may not care, but I personally like to give my business to good people, especially those who are not afraid of a little constructive criticism.
After getting a Fujitsubo for my sti, I had to get one for the s2k. Its the perfect exhaust, fits like a glove, neighbour friendly and no drone whatsoever. And compared to exhausts iv had in the past the build quality is better then oem.
This is the video that turned me Into a subscriber because this is the second time you’ve made a video that literally was in my mind!!!! First was that Cayman vs BRZ.
Honestly it’s exactly what IM looking for in an exhaust the crackles are the icing on the cake. The fact that once its warmed up it tones down but then when you step on it. It comes it life I NEED IT
Oh my GAWD does this sound good. That no drone action with the volume just sealed my deal. OooOOooooooon iiiiitttttt. So psyched these dudes got into BRZ.
I love my HKSL2 for it's mature grown up sound. It has a satisfying pop when shifting between first and second at around 4,000 RPM. But I do want to say look at me boy I'm a BRZ! So I just ordered this one. Hopefully it doesn't take 5 months to come.
Ordered by GR86 at the begging of the year... CANT WAIT. already have 2 mods lined up as SOON as it arrives. AWE touring exhaust and set of Konig Ampliform rims!! so stocked!
I think I just found my exhaust. Sounds sick. Those AWE pops and bangs are how this car should have sounded from the factory. Love that it doesn't drone yet gets aggressive when ya want it. Pay day purchase.
Good review… I’ve got the AWE track edition on my 2017 BRZ. FWIW, it sounds pretty much the same at startup and driving except for the pops you had after shifts.
I have a 2020 WRX Premium AWE Touring Catback and it sounds incredible. At first, I thought you had the "Track" I don't have no where the amount of pops and or crackles as in the video with the BRZ. That's why I purchased it. It has no drone and deeper sound. The inside sounds awesome and not over bearing. It does come with a resonator. Maybe that's why it doesn't have that issue? Lastly, AWE is great company, and would buy from them again...got me thing about giving it to my son and get a 2023 WRX...but, I hate that rear end. Yes, saw it in person.
Thanks to both Zygrene and AWE for providing the video. To me, it sounds just right. I'd love to know if the filming was done with the active sound control on.
I recently fitted mine. I really like how you get the downshift noise in an exhaust that is quiet when just plodding around. you gone downshift with a smaller blip at lower RPM and it doesnt pop. well, at least you can on an EU spec car with a GPF. I don't like the loud cold start noise, but that's a mapping issue. not much you can do about that with a stock tune if you want an exhaust with any volume.
I love the way it sounds but I'm surprised how loud it is for just being the touring version. I plan on getting an aftermarket uel header and this exhaust will probably be too obnoxiously loud for me.
Any recommendations besides AWE that has the Subbie rumble, dual tip, low to moderate noise levels ,and has no drone ? I love the AWE exhaust sound but sometimes I don’t want to draw attention with a loud exhaust.
Look at me, I'm a BRZ boy :-) Nice review. I have a FT86MS axle back and it seems better with no crackle. I got the 4 inch mufflers. I kind of wish I had the 5 inch mufflers. And it's one piece, no clamps.
Not sure if I missed it in the vid, but do you have the track version too? If not, I have the track conversion kit. I got it free because i ordered the touring version and an AWE rep asked me to do comparison vid. But i ended up cancelling my order. Instead of messing with returning it (don't have the box anymore), would you want it, so you can try it out? I'm in the Bay Area, East Bay.
Why are you downshifting and not getting back on the gas during street driving? From your video is sounded like it only popped like that when you didn’t hit the gas after.
It crackles in my hks exhaust as well. I think in low rpm, brz/gr86 runs a bit rich, so some of the unburnt fuel got dumped out, then it produced the crackle sound.
My Perrin catback also crackles on the blip, they all do it, its the car not the exhaust. Great sound, makes me consider swapping out my Perrin, but that's a hard call the Perrin is phenomenal.
Will sound loud and obnoxious once you install a header and high flow catted front pipe. I'll be going with Magnaflow instead. Sounds good tho with stock everything else.
I'd be really interested in seeing what single tip axle-back exhausts come out for the BRZ, if any. Ideally, they'd have some rear bumper kit thing to plug up the other hole, but I just like the assymetrical single tip exhaust style (plus it saves weight).
Nice to see non-MXP exhausts getting put on our cars lol. The tips on this exhaust looks great, way too loud for my tastes unfortunately. Pretty happy I went with the HKS L2
Just watch a video about the track version of this exhaust and I really prefer the track version. The touring sound nice, but it's not aggressive enough for my taste
Great vid. I have had an AWE exhaust on a previous Audi, and one on my current GLI, always quality stuff. Thanks for addressing drone. I had some crackle/pops with just muffler deletes on a 2018 WRX, I wonder if it just what happens with these boxer engines. Was there also a mid-pipe included, and did it have a resonator in it, or is this just an axle-back?
Wouldn’t have expected the pops out of a non-turbo car (same thing was the case with my ‘17 WRX after an axleback exhaust). I wonder if an axleback is more cost-effective option if sound rather than power is the goal.
That exhaust sounds pretty nice, but California's strict emissions laws/regulations are way too extra. It's a bit hard to enjoy your car here without risking getting state reffed.
I'm in the same boat, but according to AWE testing in their marketing video, at 2500 rpm, the db rating is ~92. The requirement is to be under 95db at 2500 rpms while being tested. My only concern would be at cold start during valve overlap, but I'm sure that if you're getting a noise complaint at cold start, by the time the cop is testing, the idle will have lowered to a passable rating. I owned a VB WRX with the turbo'd version of the FA24 and the cold start idle lasted for nearly 3 minutes! In my GR86, the cold start idle only lasts 20-30 seconds. I'm sure we'll be okay to be honest. I wouldn't go any louder though or modify the exhaust in any further ways that might increase noise.
Any updates on livability for daily driving since you installed it? Has it mellowed out or gotten louder? Have the pops/bangs subsided a bit? Will you keep it?
@@Zygrene thank you for the reply! I'd be interested to know if it pops even when driving conservatively, for instance daily driving in a way to conserve fuel (earlier upshifts).
What would you recommend for an exhaust which has more character than stock but not too obnoxious? I don’t mind subtle pops and bangs tbh. Say in the 1000$ range.
Too much noise/pops for a daily but nice for a weekend car Definitely would want to get it quieter and separate yourself in attention from most 1st gen frs/brz owners
@@Zygrene My old 'hood! I remember running into you in Livermore when I had my RS (I wasn't driving). I'm considering the new RS3 but still deciding on options/color etc. Or I just might keep it light and go the BRZ/86 route. Your posts keep me going back and forth!
I have my eye on this exhaust, but living in California I am hesitant on buying it because of the noise laws. I see you’re also in Cali so I would like to know if you’ve had much unwanted attention by police because of it? Anyone else who lives in Cali and has this exhaust, I would love to hear your experience as well.

3:55 LMFAO I cannot wait until this “pops and bangs” fad dies out. Certainly one of the biggest downsides of being a brz owner is the d bag image that comes along with.
Installed on my bone stock Frs, it’s too damn loud and takes away from intake sound . Overall not very impressed and didn’t add any enjoyment for me .that said, not sure if I’d be impressed with any exhaust on this platform .
Pops and crackles are cool for maybe 15-20 min, then it gets old fast. But if you're a young f*ckboy that wants to flex at your local C&C, this is the exhaust for you! Imagine adding a crackle tune. It would be downright obnoxious, which is probably why Nazi California is cracking down on loud exhausts. Get off my lawn mode, OFF.
Stock sounds so much better. To me, your car sounds awful. Some advice from an automotive engineer with decades of experience. Most people that change their exhaust regret it. Young people do one or two cars and then decide they hate the sound intrusion for daily driving. What is dumb about a loud car on the street is it draws attention to the police and you can't drive the car as aggressively without getting more tickets. The first mod anybody should do who buys a new GR86 or BRZ is pull the fake sound module behind the glove box.
Half agree. I personally don’t mind super loud exhausts but only on high end sports cars, supercars and hypercars. But a car like this could still use a louder exhaust as long as it’s not too loud and doesn’t drone (it is a sports car after all).

Would genuinely love a more robust silencer in the mid pipe on an AWE Touring “lite.” Think you’d sell those like hotcakes

Couldn't agree more. I have had their stuff on a few cars over the years. PRO team.

Dope video this sounds so good!!! I thought it was awesome there is an nsx just chilling on the left
This sounds really good. I'm glad it has no drone.
Definitely a sound improvement
My oftv2 tune actually had a cold start delete. I loved it

100% getting this

Nope, I've never unplugged the fake sound
I'm debating if I should get the MXP or awe exhaust with UEL headers. Really hard time deciding. I guess which one be less raspy

Sounds loud af for “touring”
The obnoxious pops and bangs is exactly why this is off my list. The exhaust sounds good tho, what a shame
Will the auto pop or just the manual?
it can but not as easily
Seems a little too loud for your taste and dd usage.
this AWE Touring definitely sounds louder than other exhausts like Borla or Fujitsubo who don't even advertise as quiet exhausts
Wow those are some bbc tips
Does this void the Toyota warranty ?
3:55 LMFAO
I cannot wait until this “pops and bangs” fad dies out. Certainly one of the biggest downsides of being a brz owner is the d bag image that comes along with.
I’m not a fan of the sound this exhaust made, but hey, if someone does like it for their BRZ/ GR86 more power to them.
We have solution for you if you are looking for silent sound level with great power 😬
I don't think the crackles have to do with the exhaust. It's a tune thing. The stock cat back probably just muffled what was already there.
Installed on my bone stock Frs, it’s too damn loud and takes away from intake sound . Overall not very impressed and didn’t add any enjoyment for me .that said, not sure if I’d be impressed with any exhaust on this platform .

This is too loud for me. It sounds good but isn't my taste.
Yeah, not down with those pops and crackles either, way too ricer sounding. The exhaust hunt continues...
Way too loud. That would come right out after a weekend of testing. A daily should be as quiet as it gets.
Here’s a review with decibel readings: ruclips.net/video/vn_PU7XImhs/видео.html
