My M4, AWE resonated exhaust

Hi guys,

Did a "home-made" video of my M4 with AWE switchpath exhaust system. Some details about the set up:
  • No Mods
  • OEM downpipes
  • sport+ mode
  • Exahust valves are open

Enjoy.

I have catless downpipes and it's pretty damn quiet when cruising... However, I think I may leave the valves closed because it's a bit on the raspy side.

Hey bobble,

I didn't notice any drone. Mind you, my set up is OEM downpipe and resonated midpipes, so it is not as loud as AWE recommended. Their suggested set up is either:
  1. Catless downpipe, resonated AWE
  2. OEM downpipes, non-resonated AWE

However, I find my set up loud enough for me, as I have the BMS modules and I leave the valves open all the time. As with OEM, cold start still feels like an earthquake with valves open.


On a side note: thanks all for the complements above... and below (when they get here).

Cheers.

Hi Vectors,

How raspy is it? With my OEM exhaust, it was extremely raspy to the point other owners said its affecting the quality of the sound. So, I brought it to the dealers and there was a part requiring replacement. After replacing it, the raspy-ness went way down.

Another check you can do, if you have a valve control module, you can set it to always open and if the raspy-ness goes away, then you probably have a similar issue as mine.

Cheers.

It's only raspy in the higher rev range on WOT.


I found that the exhaust retains more of the deep sound with the AWE valves closed. I'm going to mess around with it a bit more and see... I just installed it on Saturday, and I'm only driving my car once a week these days. Might play around after work since my wife is going to have company over.

I'll probably bust my GoPro out soon and make a video.

For Sho!! downpipe will probably be a few years out, being mindful of warranty and maintenance.

As for location of the video, where else can be better than behind a walmart, where all the back alley deals happens.

For best full sound effect, you should have video/done it (rev it) in an enclosed parking garage
