what wheels are you running and size?

Guys don't forget, there is a lot more to the cost of a product besides the cost of materials and labor. There are import costs , customs , dollar VS euro fluctuation , packaging , expendables , dealer and distributor discounts, fluctuation of material cost research and development, quantities produced machining time. Machining is billed by the minute. Every thing gets factored into any manufactured product. You get what you pay for. On the other hand you can buy some Chinese knock off and again get what you pay for. I don't endorse one product or the other however its wise to only buy the best. Junk is Junk. My Rline will have a combination of Neuspeed , AWE and APR. Only the best. As of now:

Current mods. Full suspension, APR intercooler , Stg 1 and 2 intake , power pulley , ECU flash and K04 when ready.

Just wondering... What exactly is "full suspension", IMO any less than a full suspension sounds unstable and pretty dangerous.

Not to disrupt your story... Because it makes sense... But AWE fabricates all the exhausts by hand and made to order I believe... I imagine that's part of the price as well.

Btw, power pulley? Do tell.

Im sure they use the same jigs (DP) on CC and the MK6. The price on these exhaust cost about the same as their B8 S4 systems. My car is half the value of an S4, why should they charge the same, if not more?

My manufacture fabricated mine by hand as well

[jjon66]

Shocks springs sway bars. suspension has been done all 4 corners. Is that clear enough for you?

[jjon66]

However maybe its time to STOP posting here it only brings out the heathens.

Later

[jjon66]

Yes you are correct, on a made to order basis which is low quantity and yes can push the price of any hand made product. The power pulley is from Neuspeed. You get pulley and new belt. Helps with spool up.

Why is this thread going a stray?

FYI if not installed correctly, can be VERY catastrophic


Back to the AWE exhaust. . .

Lol. Indeed. Back to the AWE exhaust. I'll try to get some audio/video clips when my car is mobile again. Ugh.

[jjon66]

I look forward to your video for sure. I am considering the AWE setup but do want to know more about cabin noise and acceleration

Jon

[JHolmes]

Until I get the clips, I'll just share the following:

1:There is no drone at highway speed at all,
2: With the windows up under normal acceleration and load it's volume is comparable to stock,
3: It's ONLY when you really get on it that it's loud, and not obnoxiously so.

Just ORDERED with silver tips. I have been waiting almost 1 year for APR to make the RSC turbo back and they are not going to do it. The price is the same between the 2 right now with the sale price. Thanks Jholmes for post on sound of the system it made my decision final. I will try and get a dyno done before I add the system. I have APR stage 1 and intake thats it. My plan is install this and go stage 2.
Now AWE Please put a little rush into getting this done.

i heard you had to shorten the length of the b6 exhaust..true?

~2" in the middle nothing crazy.

That is NOT APR "RSC".Thats just a standard setup. Thats what I wanted and they said they are not going to make it. Plus it needs to be cut down and the tips stick out way to far so they need to be cut also, I have seen them hacked up and they dont come out looking good. I have looked at all the systems out there and got to listen to them also and I think im going to be happy with my decision.

[snobrdrdan]

I'm running the B6 Borla cat-back....no issues at all

[DOQ fastlane]

Well, that pretty much puts that question to rest.

[Erwheezy]

So close to pulling the trigger on the catback. I'm fine with the performance of my cc right now (apr stg 1 tune and intake). I really just want that audible growl when you floor the pedal, but keep it nice and subtle when i am driving normally. I was on the AWE youtube page and i was listening to the A5 and even the B8 turboback and the sound of those two just sound smoother than the CC that is also posted, they are all 2.0t just wondering if there are any other reasons why they would sound different.

[snobrdrdan]

Different cameras for recording, or speakers for playback ....never sounds the same

Bumping dead topic!
Who has ordered this? anyone got it?
I ordered this 8 weeks ago and have not got a peep from them other than hold on credit card for 75 buck or something like that. Sure is taking a long time! last week was my last day off , this is My busy retail season no days off till new year so it will just sit around now.

[clean01golf]

I just got mine in yesterday both the downpipe and cat back are true pieces of art!
Well worth the wait, can't wait to put this on!

[KZsigBZ]

Received and installed my AWE exhaust yesterday! Two big thumbs up to the guys at AWE for the quality build! The exhaust made me fall in love with my car all over again. The sound is perfect for the CC. It's not loud at cruising speeds but when you give it some throttle it lets out a deep purring note. Good job AWE I'm very satisfied with my purchase!
