appreciate the advice, but I know how I am. The louder the better!! I was actually debating to do a valves system or not valves, lol.

I like the Dundon, but no exhaust made is worth 10k!! Hell, its not a turbo setup!! Porsche tax is a little to steep on that one! Lol

Yeah, the Porsche tax is high, but the side deletes and center muffler are much less than $10k.

I think when looking at exhaust you have three considerations, better performance, better sound, or both.

Performance - Dundon, there is no subjectivity here and honestly really the best option. It’s proven. It is costly, but it’s proven.

Sound - very subjective and lots of great brands to choose from. Dundon, JCR, AWE, SOUL, Sharkwerks, Akra, etc etc. Find someone near you and listen to their setup.

I have the AWE switchpath with valves disconnected. Very loud, some drone at cruising Interstate speeds. Totally worth it and I bought it strictly for the sound. You really can’t go wrong with any of them but I would try and go to a cars and coffee or a PCA meet and listen to as many as you can to help you make a decision. YouTube/cell phone videos only capture so much.

yes, but it is still double. I don't see the Dundon being performance effective if you don't do the whole kit with headers. I think the headers are the big difference for performance.

Correct, there are no real performance gains on any cat back aftermarket exhaust system in this setup. You will possibly see minimal if any hp bumps and maybe even a drop in hp depending in the brand or model, nothing the discernible butt dyno can differentiate. They will be all relatively close in weight loss. So it really boils down to, sound and price. Reputation, customer service, warranties, build quality, materials etc etc are all other small things one may consider. Listen to them in person before you buy if possible.

I've had Dundon headers on my GT4 and 3 GT3s. The quality is outstanding as is the fit and finish. Zero issues on any of the installs. If you catch a sale with Dundon you can save some money on their headers. If you sell your car down the road it is pretty easy to sell the Dundon headers. They usually don't last long on RL. So with a sale price and a resale you might be out $2000. Buy a center delete for $2500 and you will be lucky to get $1200. That would make the Dundon headers $800 more expensive down the road, I've done this twice. And let's not forget that you get real hp gains along with a lifetime warranty.

Of these two, I vote for AWE because I have friends who work there and they're a fierce competitor of mine.

I had the AWE sides and rear muffler. It was definitely LOUD too haha. I actually put the stock side mufflers back on because it was too loud. I have 2 recommendations for you, don't mount the exhaust to the engine (lots of drone and cabin resonance if you do) and 2. buy my AWE side deletes, they're just sitting in my closet lol. PM me a reasonable offer and they're yours. Save some money ha.
