is awe track too much?

I've been looking at the new awe track exhaust. what's everyones thought? I use my car as a DD. Also, any difference in the resonated vs non-resonated as far as overall volume is concerned? I know this exhaust is new, so there isn't a lot of reviews yet. I've seen one so far...

Overall, I'm worried it might be too obnoxious and drone too much to stand. Thoughts?

Looks like its just an overpriced muffler delete?

I was able to hear this in person last weekend. Personally, it would be too much for me since there are no valves to quiet it down. The drone would get annoying quickly.

I think I have to hear it in person. I definitely don't want obnoxious... But want more volume for sure than my stock exhaust.

It's pretty much a muffler delete.. I'd reconsider if I were you. You can definitely look into their regular exhaust if you're worried about drone and obnoxiousness.

it's really all personal taste and wants. some will love it, some will hate it. some will do both. when I have migraines or am tired i regret getting it, but then the days i'm hopped up on Mountain Dew I love the shit out of it. If you're in Dallas then let me know and I'll be more than happy to show you like I did with LindsayEOD and from there you can make your own decision.

Well, it is definitely more volume, that is for sure. Depending on how much more volume you want, this may be too much.

I?ve had my AWE non-resonated track exhaust for about 2 weeks now. It?s loud but has a really nice tone. Sounds a lot better than the typical muffler delete/straight pipe set ups I?ve heard in person. I think it?s most likely due to the diameter of the piping and xpipe relocation towards the downpipes. There is a decent amount of drone though and I find myself manually shifting (I have DCT) more to mitigate it. The cold starts are also insane...I no longer drive my car to work because it sets off car alarms in the garage...

To be honest I kind of do regret my purchase...I am getting older and super loud attention grabbing cars are not really my thing anymore. Luckily AWE sells the valved switchpath muffler as a retrofit so I can always go that route down the road.

pretty accurate. also let your significant others hear it if they ride in your car or one day your wife will tell you to get rid of it b/c she originally liked it and now hates it.
