AWE quad tip catback review on G20 M340i!

Happy Saturday!

A couple months ago I received the new AWE catback and I've gotta say it's been love at first sight..and sound! I don't usually leave reviews but I have to give praise to AWE for this masterpiece.

The exhaust looks absolutely incredible. The black chrome quad tips have completely transformed the look of the car. BMW should consider installing this thing from factory!

As good as this exhaust looks, the sound is exponentially better. It is just the right combination of calm and ridiculous! With my aftermarket downpipe, on start up it's a bit loud, but it quickly calms down and drivability in comfort and regular modes is just perfect. In sport mode this beast wakes up with an amazing combination of gnarly tone and pops!

I am truly impressed with this exhaust. Shout out to AWE for amazing service and product!

NOTE - VIDEOS DONT DO JUSTICE, tried to capture the sounds as best as possible

What made you go with awe vs Dinan. I'm torn between the two. I like Dinans use of the exhaust valve for quite driving in comfort.

Does awe sound quite in comfort mode for highway commuting?

My personal opinion the AWE tips look way nicer! I wish that AWE integrated the exhaust valve open close function like Dinan did but it's no biggie. I plan on getting the resonated touring with black tips soon.

Very nice. Sounds soo much better than the non resonated catless DP videos posted recently. Even though these are 4" tips, I think the double wall and angle cut make them look so much better than the Dinan tips

This is the resonated exhaust with the 2 mufflers, right? The touring one?

Our systems don't use mufflers, but the Touring uses 2 non-packed, non perforated, drone-cancelling, tone refining resonators.

I just checked the distributor and there are still several flavors available. Contact your favorite BMW parts guy and grab some!
