@@metfish yeah indoor in the garage is gonna sound different than stock outside, but I'd take the owners word on it as a final... the dude should know his car and if there was no difference, why would he lie?... I agree though, so much modding occupies the minds of these c8 owners, I'd be freakin thrilled just to own it and I'd be enjoying it!
@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 4 года назад
Luckily for me, I'm doing both! Enjoying it and modding it. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I don't think the C8 is perfect in its stock form and thus I'm making the appropriate changes to make it "perfect" for me. Let's be real here, guys. Car guys mod their cars to make it what they want it to be. That's what I'm doing. If you don't like these mods, don't do them to your C8's. I'm simply sharing my process, take it as you will.

Nice! Would have got a better gauge had the after sound shots had been done in same location instead of inside. So the valves opening and closing is no longer an option with this exhaust or any exhaust that’s out for the C8? The other thing is I don’t think I’d trust anyone outside of AWE doing this install. If they had recommended shops in my area I might consider.
@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 4 года назад
It's not an overly difficult exhaust installation so anybody who can install it on a C8 Corvette could install this particular product. I have another video coming very soon that is basically nothing but sounds from this exhaust. It's definitely louder, It's definitely cleaner, and it definitely looks better.

I like the stock shiny square tips. For one thing I like shiny but it's obvious why the stock ones are square, just look at the rest of the rear. The whole rear is basically square shapes everywhere so square tips match it. Not sure why so many are freaking out over them, it looks good and flows with the rest of the rear. On camera it doesn't sound that much different, only a tiny amount louder. Probably need to hear it in person. But for the cost, I'd want A LOT more.
@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 4 года назад
There's not much more you can ask for. If you want a lot louder you want to get sport cats. The back end of the car does not have a fitting look for square tips in my opinion but to each their own.

Looks and sounds great 👍. That's exactly what I plan on doing to my 2020 C8 HTC.... Whenever I do get it- lol. just out of curiosity, did you know if adding the AWE exhaust system voids any part of the engine/transmission warranty? .
@HorsePowerObsessed

Thank you! It won't void any warranty as long as it's not related directly to the exhaust. Their pricing is on the site in the description if you want to grab one for yourself!

Justin, you should replaced the restricted cats with Hi-flow cats to gain you at least 20 HP. There were right there... And it would have given you a stronger sound. AWE should also offer one without mufflers, just straight pipes.
@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 4 года назад
They do. It's the track package. It also sounds way too loud (in my opinion) and that is the same reason I didn't change the cats. I wanted a stock + sound not horribly aftermarket, if that makes sense.

Hennessy has tested hi-flow cats, but with stock heads with no porting, pistons, stock cam, stock headers and stock tune it was no gain of horsepower (but did increase the sound level by a couple db) But I don't know if that is worth $350-$800 on a good set of hi-flow cats for no additional power. The stock cats Chevrolet are using must flow pretty good. Now if he built his engine then hi-flow cats would be worth the money.

I'm not getting the Z51 package because I'm not tracking the car. But I was going take the factory upgrade muffler system. If that's the one you had then for sure I'll save the $1200 factory upgrade and just do the AWE.

I've been researching exhaust system upgrades...and one thing I see that is frequently mentioned is that "some...not all" exhaust upgrades come with a downside...and that is, they sometimes generate CEL (check engine light) alarms. I just visited the AWE web site and they say their system does not generate CEL's but it will generate...what they call a soft OBD2 P code. With all that said...have you experienced any CEL's that can be traced directly back to your exhaust upgrade?

@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 4 года назад
There are a few sets of headers out there but from what I've seen they actually lose power. I don't think I'd go much louder than this to be honest. At some point you lose that "refined" sound and start heavily into muscle car terrority.
@petercarey6883
@petercarey6883 4 года назад
I'd be tempted to go with a "reputable" set of headers that at least wouldn't lose power, but would give the "I'm come'n for you!" noise presence and have a non-factory electronic cut-out setup installed. The drawback to the factory dual-mode exhaust system is the valves are either totally open or totally closed. You can't "tune" the loudness with it. With an after-market setup you can open the flaps in an infinite amount of decibel settings . Literally you can "tune" the noise to what you and/or your passenger find comfortable. Heck, even with just the factory "headers," which don't look half bad, and no dual-mode option, I'd go with electronic cut-outs.
