AWE Exhaust Installation on my C8 Corvette! HUGE improvement in sound AND appearance!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

AWE will have stock of C8 Corvette exhausts available for sale at Corvettes at Carlisle and will also be doing FREE installs there so be sure to stop by and check out my cars as well as AWE's fantastic exhaust setups! 😎👍 Also, stay tuned for MORE sound clips coming VERY soon! This thing sounds unbelievably good and I got ALL of the sound clips for you guys!

Any updates on the GM patient Lambo doors? Will u add them?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I don't think the price has been finalized yet but you can check their website. The install will be free at Corvettes at Carlisle.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

If the kit was made by GM I would consider it. I will not do aftermarket doors like that though because they are always junk.

After looking over the entire car it wasn't coming from mine. It must have been something I picked up on the highway.

[@TheTmat007]

As far a sound, I can't tell a difference, before and after. That's the "moment of truth."

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

There is a huge difference! Camera never picks up the exhaust sound quite right but in person it's louder, cleaner, and it definitely looks better.

[@terryrutherford2114]

I totally heard a difference. Check your headphones or speakers maybe? Turn it up! Haha.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@@terryrutherford2114 Agreed. There is definitely a difference but it is much larger in person than the camera can capture. I have a better video demonstrating the sound of this AWE exhaust coming shortly.

[@skip741x3]

@@metfish yeah indoor in the garage is gonna sound different than stock outside, but I'd take the owners word on it as a final... the dude should know his car and if there was no difference, why would he lie?... I agree though, so much modding occupies the minds of these c8 owners, I'd be freakin thrilled just to own it and I'd be enjoying it!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Luckily for me, I'm doing both! Enjoying it and modding it. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I don't think the C8 is perfect in its stock form and thus I'm making the appropriate changes to make it "perfect" for me. Let's be real here, guys. Car guys mod their cars to make it what they want it to be. That's what I'm doing. If you don't like these mods, don't do them to your C8's. I'm simply sharing my process, take it as you will.

[@josephdixon507]

Nice! Would have got a better gauge had the after sound shots had been done in same location instead of inside. So the valves opening and closing is no longer an option with this exhaust or any exhaust that’s out for the C8? The other thing is I don’t think I’d trust anyone outside of AWE doing this install. If they had recommended shops in my area I might consider.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It's not an overly difficult exhaust installation so anybody who can install it on a C8 Corvette could install this particular product. I have another video coming very soon that is basically nothing but sounds from this exhaust. It's definitely louder, It's definitely cleaner, and it definitely looks better.

[@shatz72]

Does the sound changes with the different modes? Like sport to track etc. do you think the touring is the way to go or the track? Thanks for your input

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

No. This exhaust eliminates the baffles. It sounds awesome all the time now!

[@Chipambas]

@@HorsePowerObsessed sorry I don’t think you understood my question. You know how the sound changes depending on the mode. Touring, sport, track, weather, my mode, and z mode. Can you still change sound when you select the different modes like the stock exhaust? How about the awe track exhaust same question do you know ? Thanks.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I understood your question. This exhaust does not use the stock baffles (which are used to change the sound between modes). The Track edition AWE exhaust is the same way only louder.

[@Chipambas]

@@HorsePowerObsessed thank you. So essentially it always sounds the same?

I know the make (I.e. manufacturer is AWE) is but what is the model name of the system you put on your cat? Also, what is the weight savings or difference (Stock vs. AWE) between the 2 systems? Thanks for the information.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

AWE touring edition. Weighs 38 pounds down from the 78 of the stock unit.

[@TroutButter]

I like the stock shiny square tips. For one thing I like shiny but it's obvious why the stock ones are square, just look at the rest of the rear. The whole rear is basically square shapes everywhere so square tips match it. Not sure why so many are freaking out over them, it looks good and flows with the rest of the rear. On camera it doesn't sound that much different, only a tiny amount louder. Probably need to hear it in person. But for the cost, I'd want A LOT more.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

There's not much more you can ask for. If you want a lot louder you want to get sport cats. The back end of the car does not have a fitting look for square tips in my opinion but to each their own.

[@terrymichel6104]

You keep talking about stock exhaust , what about performance exhaust ? How does that compare with yours ? Also , what’s the cost of yours ? Thanks

I've been researching exhaust system upgrades...and one thing I see that is frequently mentioned is that "some...not all" exhaust upgrades come with a downside...and that is, they sometimes generate CEL (check engine light) alarms. I just visited the AWE web site and they say their system does not generate CEL's but it will generate...what they call a soft OBD2 P code. With all that said...have you experienced any CEL's that can be traced directly back to your exhaust upgrade?

Zero. This is an extremely well built system and they pride themselves on things like this. No check engine lights, no drivability issues, all good!

So where was that oil coming from??

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

We looked all over the car and everything looked dry. I'm assuming it's something I picked up on the highway.

[@richarddobreny6664]

HorsePower Obsessed Check it again in a few weeks just to be sure. My C7 M7 had an ever so small leak from the transmission, would have never been an issue as the warranty would have expired before it became critical. Took it in and they fixed it without a problem.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I will be looking it over shortly when I do an oil change. Can never be too safe with this stuff.

[@mljhr6108]

Awesome as always pal

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!

[@mljhr6108]

Always bro

It does sound good. I think I may just do cats. I don't want it too loud. Great video

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks! I think cats would be louder to be honest. This was a subtle increase in volume but the biggest difference was a more "refined" sound.

[@camillecarter1784]

Sounds good! Can't afford to make a change. Still very interesting.

[@YellowVette04]

OH YEAAAA... Now that sounds good. What's the weight savings and HP increase? Maybe that's another video lol

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It kinda is, but it's 31 pounds lighter and gains 19whp which is mind blowing.

[@frankvattelana6728]

Killer Move with the Exhaust! The round Black diamond tips look incredible! The Sound of the exhaust simply says: "Don't F_ _ k With Me"....Nice Move....should add a few more hp...No? Yes?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

19 more horsepower and it drops 31 lb over the stock unit!

[@frankvattelana6728]

@@HorsePowerObsessed19+ and 31lbs lighter...WoW! That is incredible, added value for sure!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Agreed!

[@markains4586]

I'm trying to decide between AWE and Hennessey have you heard the Hennessey.? Looks like Hennessey has ecu cracked.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I like the looks of the Hennessey unit as well but to me the AWE sounds better. I don't think anyone has cracked the ecu but I know some have possibly found a way to piggyback off the stock one.

[@shamrock-]

It looks like you got sport cats, too?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Nope. Just the catback.

[@gamebreak81]

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Lol no problem man! I know we all get excited over this stuff! 😁

[@bigbudd006]

been away...what did you do to the paint. does not look good methinks.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

XPEL stealth wrap. Looks amazing in person. 👍👍

[@shanemcgonnell2689]

Touring or track?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Touring.

[@justinreid8851]

The exhaust after video was inside a warehouse. It doesnt really sound any different. Love the tips being round. Basically the stock exhaust has a x pipe inside the muffler and is better insulated from the factory against radiant heat into the cab.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

In person it sounds way better. Louder, and cleaner. Plus it looks amazing. Definitely better all around.

[@aqnaqnaqn]

Great DIY vid! 🥰 ❤️ Also, quick quiz: what does "AWE" stand for?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Air and Water Enterprises 😁👍
