Default Upgraded to AWE Gen 2 exhaust

I just had the AWE Gen 2 exhaust put on the car with the Black Diamond tips. Wow what an amazing difference. The look and the sound are just incredible and the extra power.....
I know, I know "pictures.... sound clips" I will post as soon as I have a moment but just wanted to let you know this is a beautiful piece of engineering and it makes the car so responsive and sounds "DINOMITE"
Michael at AWE and Luis at Autodynamics are great and the whole experience was smooth as silk. I was at the shop when she fired for the first time throught the new pipes Geez it was like being the expectant father

How would you compare the sound to stock? Any in cabin resonance? Do you feel a performance improvement at lower RMP? Curious minds want to know!! Thanks and of course we need pics.

Thanks guys, and yes it is a slippery slope The initial cold start is awesome and then after about 30 secs it settles down to a very low almost stock sound.Blip the throttle and WOW the sound that the factory should have delivered. On the road NO resonance in the cabin, yes you can tell that its not stock (even my wife commented but not in a bad way) but it just sounds like a high performance machine. When you hit the gas it is unbelievable, not a snarl so much as a throaty bark. My son gave me reports from behind and he exhausted his descriptive dictionary(3rd year college)
I will try to see if I can do the sound clip it may require younger talents to be able to get it uploaded. I will try to capture cold start and throttle blips.

Maverick,

Your business and kind words are much appreciated.

Thank you again. Glad you like it.

Get some G.I.A.C. software and be prepared for some face melting power...
