Loud on the highway
Install: Install was fairly easy by myself. Used jack stands, hanger removal tool (highly recommended) and impact with wobble extension. The impact is not necessary but makes it much easier. For the front pipe, follow AWE's video in which they remove the Pendulum Mount bolt so you can push the engine forward while lifting and twisting the the new front pipe into place, very simple to do with the mount bolt removed. The hardest part for me was getting the muffler onto the pipe while also inserting into the 4 hanger rubber mounts.
Product: Meh, its OK. Sounds pretty good at low speed with some burble, but highway is obnoxious. I was expecting the resonator and muffler combo to quiet it down but its still loud. If you have the windows down (so the sound can escape the cabin) it's not bad at all. But come winter or rain when you have to put the windows up, it'll be hella annoying with a constant ERRRRRR sound in the cabin with lots of vibration. Not my cup of tea. I will try sound deadening the trunk, adding an extra resonator or selling it for a valved exhaust system.
Quality: I haven't had it long enough to test its long-term durability/resistance to weather but I will say I am glad I got the black tips as they get ugly fast and if you opt for the silver, be aware that the center tip will get far dirtier faster than the outer tips since most of the exhaust comes out the center tip (due to the design). Even the black tips have already begun to chip/fade and it's not even that…
