AWE Track vs Touring Catback - Which is the Right Choice? 

i can vouch for this ^

track edition fucks, so glad i went with it over touring. your comment is spot on, i'll add though that the cold start is obnoxiously loud for like 10 seconds before idle drops lol

@@jdi.9520 I've since added a downpipe and the cold start is more obnoxious now lmao. But not complaining, love all the turbo noises

@@OnomatopoeiaBoo which downpipe did you get? I was looking to pair the ETS j pipe with my awe track. I need opinions

@@Smerky I got the Grimmspeed Gesi downpipe before it got discontinued. Now only ETS or Rae-motorsports have a Gesi downpipe, so I would go with one of those options 👌

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣funny way putting it I love my wrx I'll have it paid off in a couple of years

I will never be able to drive at 3,500 RPM again without thinking about this! Lol

@@FosterJohnsonMedia right my exhaust goes pow pow fat fat lmao

Whoopsie!

I saw you out at the subie speed expo. Car looks great! I’ll be posting my video of the event next week

@@FosterJohnsonMedia Thank you. I look forward to your video

Yes it does. With stock J-pipe it's really not too loud

Its for the tips

Awe doesn't have any? Have you contacted their (awe) customer service?

wanted to have the piping match for video footage since one was brand new and one was used!

Changing an exhaust never requires a tune..

@@immiinent I was asking because I run the AWE track exhaust but I never get any pops. Sounds amazing either way though.

@@martinscrszy how loud is it? I’m thinking about getting it and people say it’s loud but not too loud in low RPMs.

@@immiinent I really like it. I had the touring edition and switched to track one. It’s really only the cold starts that are a bit loud.

@@martinscrszy last question😂. What about the inside, is there a lot of drone?

It does give the added benefit of being 3” from the cat back 🤷‍♂️

@@SubiSpeed I’ll give you that.. but is that worth it?

I will agree and say the quality of the product itself is crap, the welds are horrendous, in my situation I had to have the slip joints expanded just to slide the pipes together as they were not sized properly from the factory. Sound is amazing out of the 5 exhaust I’ve had on my sti, best sounding hands down. Regarding fitment and alignment I disagree, the fitment can be really good it’s just not easy to achieve. I adjusted mine 3 times before I got it perfect. I played with different exhaust hangers, loosened and rotated pipes a bit, and eventually got my tips to sit exactly where I want them. Mind you this took me a total of like 4 hours of adjusting between the 3 times.

@@lucian7182 That's just an issue with just about all exhausts for the WRX and STI because of how the shape of the exhaust and where the connection points are. For one thing the catback meets up with the intermediate pipe at an angle, then there's another twist where the exhaust needs to snake around the fear diff and subframe only to end in a Y split before there's ANOTHER connection with the axleback. This means that there is a lot of wiggle room throughout the whole exhaust that cause the tips to look off in any number of ways if just one section part is turned ever so slightly out of perfect alignment.

@@lucian7182 that is the reason why i really want to give my constructive criticism because the way they produce the catback is make china product looks better. I love the sound and big tips on this catback but adjusting them shouldnt be a problem. build quality should be on par with cobb or invidia if we are paying the same price and adjusting should be easier. Until this day, my passenger side points slightly outward and looks like a unleveled scrotum if you ask me lol

@@oppai6269 sucks that quality is garbage but there isn't any other exhaust that sounds as good as this. will prolly buy either way

@@SK-tr1wo i agree!! i really like how this sounds and looks because of the big tips that really compliment the car. i am kinda leaning on cobb but cobb catback and even the titanium doesnt come close to the sound of this.

There is a slight boxed sound but nothing compared to the EJ
