    Hello! Question, how long did it take roughly for it to arrive once ordered? Also loving the sounds. I bough the track edition as well.

      Awesome ! And I think mine took about a week not terribly long but not 2 day shipping either.

    First thing, where did you find a women that can turn a wrench so well ? 😂 Great job, the exhaust looks like it should be on a Peterbuilt, not a VW ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴

      I’ll have to do a short on it ! It’s fairly loud but definitely no where near over bearing! I daily it with my 1 and a half year old it’s enough for her to say OO! On start up but not obnoxious.

    Couple questions. 1. If you put it in eco/comfort is it a little quieter then sport? 2. Are the pops and bangs loud with the track?

    • @octane_media

      @@Blackmk8 it would be quieter if my soundaktor was still enabled but the exhaust itself doesn’t change volume , I would say they are very audible and noticeable but not over bearing

    Hi curious to know if you lost any back pressure with this exhaust and if you felt any performance gains from it.

    • @octane_media
      @octane_media  9 місяців тому

      No, from the exhaust by itself, the only performance I gained was sound and driver pleasure most times 9-10 times you won’t notice anything from Justin exhaust with without a tune, and that goes with most performance modifications but it was definitely well worth the money!

    Dont use paddles unless when you doing a roll. Just put it in sport mode. Let the car shifts itself. It shifts faster and the pops between shifts will be louder

    • @octane_media
      @octane_media  Рік тому +1

      It does shift faster but I do enjoy the paddles I went from only driving manual cars to the PDK so I use the paddles as much as I can . But I do agree unless I’m rolling and my rpm is above three thousand the pops are better doing it in just sport mode.

    Hey there! I am dying trying to figure out which exhaust to get. My car is a daily and I have a family. Def want it to sound louder than stock and have that aftermarket tone but don’t want it to be too loud that it’s annoying for the neighbors or fam. Do you think it’s just right or could be too loud?

    • @octane_media
      @octane_media  9 місяців тому +1

      AWE does offer a “touring” version of the exhaust which is quieter and more tame than the track exhaust. In my personal opinion I like the track exhaust and it does drone a little bit on cold start and cold mornings but as my daily as well it is not at all bad !

    • @JJHale85
      @JJHale85 9 місяців тому

      Yea I’m aware of the touring version. Looking at millteks touring or track as well. The touring on paper seems like the play for my needs but I also don’t want to spend a lot of money and wish it was a little louder lol

      @octane_media  10 місяців тому

      The drone is not bad at all definitely a little bit more drone on colder mornings/days but manageable what I like about this exhaust is if it ever did get too loud you can buy a replacement center pipe from their street kit with a center muffler/resonator for a little over a hundred bucks and it will take it down !

      I don’t have any personal experience with the clubsport exhaust but from others on the forums it does make it a tad bit louder but if you’re wanting more and a little more volume I think the AWE exhaust is absolutely great I love it still and I have had it for a year now !
