Yes, has the SPD downpipes installed currently.
Toyo Open Country AT3 35s with a rough country level kit. Knoxville driveshaft upgrade. Thing is a blast to drive. I still have a new tune revision to update and ADD front and rear bumpers to install once I get it back.

Knoxville driveshaft upgrade.

Please tell me more... did you notice much of a difference going to a single piece?

Might be a placebo but I feel like I did. Seems a lot smoother and a little more instantaneous when at WOT.

**Update**

CEL is gone. A pin (or lack thereof) inside the actuator valve was missing and the motor wasn’t making any contact to the dummy plate. They swapped it with another unit and buttoning up the exhaust now.

Have yet to drive it… but good news either way!

AWE FTW

Yea there’s one less joint causing less slop in the drive train. Is it steel or aluminum?

 

[CGRR2024]

It's one piece 4" aluminum. DirtDerrick hooked me up.

Yea that makes a huge difference. It’s not placebo and it’s not in your head. Measurable difference on a dyno, and in track times

Thanks for the care package guys

That’s great news! Did you drive it yet? How do you like it?

yep! drove it 2ish hours home back to nyc. On the highway with cruise control at 70-73mph, Quiet Mode is somewhere between Normal and Sport comparing to the stock exhaust (at this speed).

I have to echo what @MJRR74 says because the cold start really is glorious for those first 15 seconds. it'll turn heads in the lot, maybe wake up the neighbors even. i can hear it from my apartment when i remote start. i haven't tried the auto-Quiet start mode yet, i'll report on that later.

Overall the exhaust note is very deep, and you can feel the vibrations in low rpm's at cruising speeds.. I guess by technical terms that's still considered drone, but you feel it in the seat more than any sounds of dreadful, "skull rattling" drone- at least that's how it is for me. Most of my commute was flat, maybe if you commuted mostly uphill, i could see how it could be annoying.

But its exactly what i am looking for in terms of sound. Only qualms i had originally were the 5in tips, but after having it for the last 5 days i'm used to it and i dont think its an eye sore as everyone was making it out to be- sure 4in would be nice, but the Black Diamond finish is a subtle bling. I even had my detailer put a high temp ceramic coating so they'll be easier to clean.

From a scale from 1-10, 1 being quiet and 10 balls out loud. I'd say the stock system is a range between a 2-6, and the AWE is a 4-8, but with much better tone all throughout.
