awesome review!!!
lol, i remember watching your awe exhaust review for the 991 on youtube last year. the video really helped with my purchase and this review/video is even better!!! with the valves closed during cold start, did you notice any valve rattles? kinda like on stock or your previous akra exhaust(as mentioned in your other vid)? also, was the awe lot louder with the vaves closed during cold start vs stock? or just different sound with the same volume? thanks in advance!!!! |

It's not much different than stock on cold start. Maybe a dB louder. |

i was little worried since couple of the vendors were telling me that during cold start, awe non res exhaust with the valves closed will be as loud as stocks with valves opened. one of the reson for getting this exhaust would be the cold start. i would like to have it closed(for my neibors sake) and not have to hear the rattle/buzzing sound from the stock exhaust. thanks again!! |

Great write up. I am not a fan of the fart either. The AWE did sneak a few peeps out. I've gone with the Full Akra including the Akra DP's, (ordered and paid for, Fitting next week) So I am suffering from Akra-Povety at present.
I believe there are flashes coming down the pipe (so to speak) that can eliminate the fart altogether. So I am not in a hurry to get a tune. (That's why I ordered the Delete-R) I am tossing up whether to get Dinan CAI or GruppeM Cai to add and by then hopefully more flashes are available to tie it all together and finally give the car some relief from wind! I love everything about the car except the sound. MJ Last edited by M4 away; 07-06-2015 at 02:13 AM.. |

I'm completely with you man. The F80 sounds super weird. I had the Akra before the AWE. In my opinion downpipes make the car sound terrible. Amplifies the fart and overall makes the car sound super hollow.

I am hoping with the addition of either the Dinan or GruppeM CAI that will introduce more Induction sound, and perhaps even a little more turbo sound to sweeten it up. Fingers crossed. |

Yes, thanks Tom, its one of the ones I am considering. (I fully believe it can be done, I was just being clear that I did not have first hand experience of this YET!!!) I am just getting a few more mods fitted prior to tuning. MJ

I would have been all over the ESS tune had it been available before the Dinan.

I am surprised Dinan did a piggy after Steve Dinan did that lecture on Youtube years ago about the evils of piggies. But he has gone now. Each to there own, but I am a flash type of guy.

We've had both in the shop. I would say iPE Evo *Non Resonated* is the same level of sound as AWE Non Resonated
