I had the same experience in Switzeland. I decided to order the AWE from the US with the extra cost... And while the sound is great, I was disappointed with the cheap zip ties, short vacuum lines and the most dangerous thing I lost one black exhaust tip on the highway...
I bought my exhaust from TAG Motorsports so far no real support...

it appears as though the vacuum line from the engine on the GTS (and maybe the X51?) is offset to the passenger side vs the "regular" S ... hence the
drivers side 15" line is too short...
my "solution" was to rotate the actuator 120 clockwise to narrow the distance
between the actuator and engine, thus enabling the line to work, AWE rightly
expressed concern that this might expose the line to additional heat from the
exhaust, so they are overnighting a new hose and clips to me to resolve the
problem (which fastdiablo also encountered previously when doing his DIY install)
So, I will remove the exhaust (again) and return the actuator to its original
position and re-attache the longer line.
FYI to any GTS owner wanting to install an AWE exhaust ensure that you have this longer line before commencing the install

Can't wait for final results and sound/vids!!! So interested for this to be my next mod

Uh, I already debugged it with them and am none too pleased that Larry is having the exact same flipping issue AND my exhaust was shipped with short hoses and get this.. ZIP TIES compared to Larry's kit which had the metal hose clamp/clips. Like what, they were out of proper parts when my $2500 exhaust was shipped so they threw in zip ties? And btw, the story I got from AWE about the hose being short was that the instructions were based on a preproduction unit and the actual valve actuators were higher end units with nipples that pointed towards the front of the car. Now the story is its the car's fault because it's a GTS not a Carerra S. So now I'm driving around in 150k car with zip ties holding vacuum hoses on.

tool which you can order from Amazon ...
I'm happy to loan anyone my crimpers (by return mail) if needed.
they really make a good connection - going to re-install the longer line
later, I'll post the necessary length, *and* inform AWE also, later on!
I'm still recovering from doing my taxes ... I could have bought a couple
of Akra's ... but uncle sam seems to want them instead!

I have communicated to AWE that the driver's side hose needs to be 17-18" to fit a GTS which it seems has a different location offset to the passenger side for the engine vacuum line that operates the valves ... So they are aware of the issue since they kindly provided me with a new line and clamps by next day air!

Glad you guys are digging the tone as much as we did!
Regarding the zip ties and vacuum lines:
Non-PSE car are equipped with a plastic vacuum line with a rubber connector to the vacuum fitting on the valve. So in that instance we provide zip ties for non-PSE equipped vehicles to add a retention feature, so to speak, to keep the lines in place.
PSE-equipped cars have one-time-use clamps from the factory, so we did the same by including new clamps for re-installation.
We take these comments seriously and always aim for the best experience, and have already updated the product components to include the correct length hose for GTS cars.
Regarding the tips: coincidentally we're in the midst of an updated design, though if anyone ever has any issues in the meantime (as this is a very rare situation we have here) we stand behind the product 100%, and will work with TAG Motorsports to make sure all is well.
