AWE tuning V10 exhaust

AWE tuning sent me pictures of my V10 new exhaust. Looking forward to hearing and driving.

By the looks of those small mufflers, that one is going to be loud and louder

My thoughts exactly!

Mufflers? We don't need no stinking mufflers!

Nice piece, but... Oi, that's going to be loud. No thanks. Besides, the track I go to has sound limits, and That would make me fail sound check for sure.

Can't wait to hear it!

When is someone going to build something quiet and efficient?

I haven't heard how loud the exhaust will be. AWE tuning has been working on making the decibel level acceptable. This is also the system which has a mechanical valve to control the sound volume. According to their website, "Under part throttle and idle, valves route exhaust gases through a central muffler, keeping sound tame and drone free. At 3/4 throttle, valves open."
System has an in cabin mounted remote to toggle the mechanical valves.

I'll post video when available

Jeff is right. This has been an extensive build with a lot of foucs on sound control and making sure it is not over the top.
I'll let Alex or Todd from AWE come on and share the details because I'm sure there are a lot of questions to be answered.

Looks like a great design, and its definitely going to be one of the louder options. Good thing its for the V10, I think the V8 would be excessive.

Funny how people are commenting on loudness of this system without hearing it. AWE has been working on this system to be aggressive but not over the top in loudness. Most of the comments, I guess, are due to the compact muffler's seen in the pictures. "The compact mufflers are outfitted with a double layer of OE grade stainless steel wool and composite acoustical wrap ensure distinguishable yet pleasant frequencies at part-throttle and throughout the rpm range band, while highway sound is comparable in volume to stock." I'm getting the car back today, I'll report on the loudess later
