AWE non resonated switchpath
just pulled the trigger on this.
Expectations?? lol just so excited. plans to stay stock with stock downpipes. just wanted additional sound and pops. just wanted to share and perhaps hear some thoughts from owners with this exhaust system.

I have it, and it’s great. With valves closed, it’s stock-like volume with a better tone. In sport/+ it sounds much more aggressive without being overdone for a street car. Either way, AWE makes great quality products, and you won’t regret it.
I originally had the track exhaust and had to get the conversion because it was too loud to be driving a baby around town with straight pipes. I also have catless downpipes, so running the stock downpipes will make your setup much more subdued volume wise.

thank you for the reply. I looked at almost every single videos on YouTube and sound is not justified through a video.
do you have any clips of your set up with the downpipes?

I have the resonated switchpath. The sound is growing on me but I’m thinking I may want a more aggressive sound. You guys know the difference between the resonated and non resonated?

one of the vendor here mentioned that the non resonated sounds raspier and about 30% louder. I am not sure how it sounds in person. I wish I could hear the difference. anyone in the northeast that has the awe switchpath?

If you like things LOUD and happen to have a valve controller, let it do a cold start with the valves open. Just make sure it's not early in the morning... |

If you’re doing the install yourself, just make sure you open the valves and unplug them while they’re open before you start the install. It’ll make things go a lot smoother.

I am hoping I dont regret it. I hear great things about awe.
I never knew canflaps existed. Thanks for the tips. about installing it with the flaps open... I should start my car open the valve and disconnect the plugs? how is this going to help me? I am replacing the entire exhaust. I thought the switchpath was just a plug and play thing.

So I bough the same set last year, I love it. Very nice sounding exhaust. Only complain I have is their tips. I have the diamond black. I never used chemicals on it but they started fading couple months in. So just keep this in mind.

Also the tips do loosen up after a while so have them tighten up every time you get an oil change.
