Sara’s explanation alone makes me wanna buy it. Great explanation of the product and features.

[@AutobahnSoCal]

I personally think this is the best sounding exhaust for the G8X. Inside it almost sounds stock, but much more noticeable outside which is exactly how a good exhaust should be.

[@awetuning]

Precisely 😎

[@thedevthing]

Amazing, thank you Sarah for the kit, I can’t wait to install it

[@MikeCalloway]

This is great

[@jrzez]

Sounds fantastic. Best ive heard so far. Great work as always. PA represent! I may end up going with a M2 or RS3 in the near future. I love my 22 Camaro SS 1LE, but, i kinda want something new. There is rumors of a new MR2 though soon as well... Life is tough as a car guy sometimes.

[@awetuning]

Gen6 Camaros hold a special place in our hearts - fantastic platform that loves to be thrown around. M2 v RS 3 -- tough call. M2 takes it though for the overall experience -- creature comforts in cabin, performance, driving experience, motor. . . all things considered. Aesthetics would be the outlier and that has to be left to the eyes of the beholder/driver/etc.

How does this compare to the supra? been a big fan of yours, I have/had your exhaust in my type R and r/t scatpack… How does this compare to Supra touring? looks like very similar but this is just one notch quieter with less pops? Is that just the difference between the two engine and how it’s tuned from the factory? Thanks

[@awetuning]

The configurations are completely different between the G87 and the Supra. Different platforms, different motors. The G87 has a lot of backtalk when toggled into sport/sport+ mode. Comfort mode closes the valves and keeps things civil (no burbles like in sport mode). The ECU/software is responsible for burbles.

Can the switchpath + midpipe be equiped with any aftermarket downpipes?

[@awetuning]

Our exhausts don't begin until after the primary and secondary emissions equipment, so presuming your DPs are designed to mate to the factory exhaust, you should be a-okay.

[@youngboy_groovy2263]

Will you guys be making both for the m240 G42 in time ? I’ve been a fan of the work. Truly great engineering, I would hear a beautiful car and how the factory exhaust killed the sound. Until you guys drop an exhaust for the car , never been disappointed

[@awetuning]

Not in the deck of cards at this particular moment but could very likely change!

[@youngboy_groovy2263]

@@awetuning Thank you for your response, I will be looking forward to the day you gentlemen design the G42 full exhaust system. Thank you. Thank you for the response and the honesty.

[@kennypham8585]

Im a newbie but what is non resonated mid pipe mean? Is it an aftermarket midpipe? If i plan to get the switchpath edition do i have to get an aftermarket midpipe?

[@awetuning]

Our mid pipes omit the factory center resonator to enable the car to sound more aggressive. They're optional, not required, to run our SwitchPath or Track Edition.

@@awetuning I lived in south California. Do you guy have authorized dealer out here?

[@awetuning]

[@sgt.greenbean4155]

Will this be compatible with the 2025 model?

[@awetuning]

To be confirmed!

[@christianmedina9908]

Stock downpipes ?

[@awetuning]

Correct.

[@shoe3k]

Emission compliant, which means they don't touch either set (primary or secondary)

[@awetuning]

@@shoe3k bingo.

[@Japplesnap]

Smaller tips should be optional. 4.5" tips are too big for the car. Looks a little silly like that.

[@awetuning]

Smaller sizes did not work in favor. The valance openings are very large and demanded larger tips.

[@Japplesnap]

@@awetuning Yet the stock tips look just fine in those openings.

[@jrzez]

​@@JapplesnapLol naw. Needs the larger tips to fill it out, especially due to the goofy angled rear bumper design.

[@Japplesnap]

@@jrzez Stock tips don't look too small. But 4.5" tips look like clown shoes...way too big for the car.

[@awetuning]

@@Japplesnap Though we whole heartedly disagree we do appreciate the input.
