Damn, I'm confused about which one to get. I'm leaning toward the track I think. Can any track owners or AWE please chime in
Touring is one of our top 5 favorite systems, very refined when you are cruising and wakes up when you step into the throttle, perfect sound combo IMO, so I would definitely recommend going that route. Track Edition is unfiltered rowdiness so it comes down to what type of sound you are after.

it's loud -- very loud. If you live in a quiet neighborhood, I would not suggest it -- but I like it, and as long as you're not using sports or sports+ on startup, you won't be too obnoxious. Problem --> reseller that I bought it from does not state that it doesn't fit MY23. AWE does not advertise their documentation to show that it's only supported up to MY18. I found out the hard way. Reseller doesn't modify their docs in order to show this either, just says 2015+. It was only after I purchased the exhaust where I found on the website that it shows support up to 2018 only. reseller did not state this and documentation linked did not show this either.
Few items you need to know:
A - there's no exhaust switch adapter (eg if you have sports or non sports exhaust, there's a controller on the passenger or both sides that you need to short out/add an adapter in order for the console error to go away) - 3rd party has developed this now.
B - the exhaust is not designed to fit the 95B.3 generation, even if you get it to fit, the exhaust hanger will bump into one of the pinch welds on the body (passenger side) and will be recessed.
C - you will need to cut WAY more exhaust than what's documented. so get ready to be surprised and if you don't like the look, the midpipe will 100% have to be replaced if you want to go back to stock.
D - once you get it centered for the valance in the rear, you will notice that it's short, very short. go buy an exhaust coupler / reducer (2.25" to 2" reducer - 4" in length) in order for the exhaust to fit and you can put on the exhaust tips, otherwise the fitment will be WAY off and it'll look horrible as the exhaust tips will be extremely recessed.
E - Those carriage bolts that come with the exhaust will and i MEAN will snap off, you will need some new carriage bolts if you want to secure it -- I advise to buy washers and new locking nuts to help keep things nice and tight.
based on reseller lack of updated info and documentation not properly updated from the actual vendor -- my honest opinion = WAIT IT OUT.
Don't buy for current gen unless you're willing to put a lot of muscle into the exhaust to get it to fit (which I had to spend a lot of time and unsupported pain to go through).
Do I think the exhaust is good? yes -- do I think it was worth the money? absolutely not (based on the bad documentation and bad reseller data and vendor data)
I do feel a little left out because the lack of doc updates and lack of vendor updates mislead me to buy an exhaust that had potential to be great, but left me high and dry on the manual labor portion.
