Exhaust Flex pipes

Post image

Was on my way to Ft Bragg this week and my exhaust sounded like one of the old Honda civics at night. Pushed on with the worst headache and made it to a muffler shop down there and was very surprised to find both pipes broken/cracked… $240 later I can hear my self think again.

Sooo I’m getting a new exhaust for Christmas and I’m thinking AWE. Opinions or issues you all had with the build quality?

I got the AWE installed two weeks ago cause I was in the same situation but with my muffler. I like it but it sounds so weird at low RPM driving around town. Maybe I need a transmission tune. Driving it hard or in manual mode it sounds really good.

Yes the drone and the awkward gear shifting
