That said, the AWE was not causing discomfort or annoying bassy drone that fatigued your brain, just more cabin noise than ideal for calls or listening to music on a longer drive. In short, drone is not a noticeable issue and the exhaust sounds phenomenal.
Interesting. I can imagine that freeway "noise" would be apparent around 2,000rpm, as it was with my Cargraphic. I'd say that 50% of my highway cruising is done with the valves closed.

Loved it. PSE is wonderful, but the Cargraphic system brought the 3.8 to life and screamed at high RPMs. It also retrained the stock tone, which many systems tend to get rid of. I've listed it for sale in the Classifieds but I may still throw it onto my GTS.

Here's an old video:

A word on tone.. The awe changed the car in that dept. It now has a deeper, thoatier idle through 4500, and goes "supercar" raspy race car above 5000ish. There is def more bass and you hear it if you drive next to a wall or in a tunnel, hence why it set off a couple alarms under acceleration. I just ordered some GoPro and iPhone mounts to make a full vid. I'll be at the Canepa PCA bbq this weekend if anyone wants to hear it.

How much did the dealer charge for install and how many hours of labor?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm still torn. I enjoy the Cargraphic system and may end up putting that onto my GTS. If someone pulls the trigger and buys it, though, then it may make the AWE decision easier.

Why do all the posts say REMOVAL. What kind of weirdo thread is this?

Ok, seriously Stratocaster, can you be more helpful in whatever issue you are having w/ the AWE exhaust, rather than just putting "remove" on all of your old messages? You might as well spell out the issues, and/or what AWE plans to do to remedy it...

Were you waiting for some form of restitution by AWE?

A friend of mine is having a valve issue thats making noise on her car. She posted a video on 991 forum. I have been going back and fourth with the sales manager and am at odds with them on some issues I won't get into now.

So I just pulled my posts because I am not endorsing them at this time.


UPDATE! It is all worked out, no problems, thanks AWE

I live 10 minutes down the road from their facilities here in PA... Need me to go "pay them a visit?"

Yes! I'm curious to know what the issue is, as I was strongly considering AWE as well. Until now, I've heard nothing but raving reviews.
