Sounds and looks fantastic! Might have to add this on my "future purchase list" once my M340i arrives.

[@awetuning]

That sounds like a great idea :)

[@JMD535]

I have AWE Touring on my '16 340 M Sport,....and I must say,...the throaty sound is intoxicating to say the least!

[@mart099]

That is a cracking exhaust

[@luisb8942]

Great video nice explanation. Fix in the x3 340i 2021 ?. Affect the warranty from dealer ?

[@austinsaju]

Excellent detailed video...... make more and u will gain subsrcibers!!!!

[@awetuning]

Thanks for the good words, Austin.

[@darianrusu2467]

Will it fit or will you make a version for the g01 x3 m40i?

[@tarqlutfi8647]

Does it fit a g26 m440i gran coupe

[@iliketakingshowers]

Any torque specs?

[@wrenchbender5312]

Why not weld a bracket for the exhaust valve simulator to mount to, even if it isn't actually moving a valve anymore? It seems like that would be a better solution that tucking it under the heat shield to rattle around. I'm interested in the system for my '23 M340i, it just seems like your team built an amazing exhaust system then took the most expedient solution when it came to the exhaust valve simulator.

[@awetuning]

It doesn't move around when tucked away. Also, the valve motor is still ooperating when attached to our simulator. The design of our simulator is what keeps the ECU satisfied.

[@E39M5SPEED]

Agree. I just installed this and just letting it hang there inside rear fender liner is not the smartest thing to do.

[@awetuning]

@@E39M5SPEED Tucked into the heat sheilding, it's safe. We tested, nothing to worry about.

[@hektr19]

Do you guys sell the black tips separately?

[@awetuning]

To current AWE owners only. Not as a stand-alone item.

[@antonehh5513]

Do you guys sell the exhaust valve simulator bracket separately?

[@awetuning]

They're included in the kits.

[@fuelnfitment6968]

If I was to unplug the valve and not plug it back in would I get a CEL?

[@awetuning]

It will irritate the ECU. With that said, given we supply the accommodation to keep it plugged in, no excuses :)

[@crrojo94]

Do all the pipes need to be bottom out to have a perfect fit?

[@awetuning]

Bottoming the pipes is ideal as our measurements and specs of each components account for it.

[@dannyperez7392]

What’s the loudest exhaust you guys offer ?

[@awetuning]

The Track Edition would render the most volume both in and our of the cabin, but not by much as the Non-Res Touring Edition is a straight-through design with no traditional acoustic packing material.

[@mohammaddalloul9891]

Awe has some exhaust systems without muffler but resonated Are those good? I have a catless dp

[@awetuning]

The Track Edition is going to be very aggressive with a catless DP. If you want comfort on the highway, consider the Touring Edition.

[@mohammaddalloul9891]

​@awetuning should the non resonated touring exhaust work? Also I read somewhere that the mufflers at the end of the touring exhaust system don't really work as mufflers but resonators. Will that make it sound like a straight pipe or do they kill some of the unwanted sounds?

[@awetuning]

@@mohammaddalloul9891 Non-Res Touring with a DP sounds awesome. What you read is correct -- 180 Technology® resonator are not traditional packed mufflers. They're straight-through resonators with zero packing material. If you look through the resonator, it looks exactly like a straight pipe. They're engineered to hone in on particular frequencies that produce drone, flips them 180 degrees, and injects the flow back into the primary stream. It's straight-pipe tone and power without drone. Magic, really.

[@kobefair]

Will this fit the M440i GC? g26?

[@awetuning]

No confirmation at this time due to length differences.

[@carlosguerrero1956]

Called MP in Rancho C, only 2020’s can be juiced

[@awetuning]

2021's can run JB4 and similar piggybacks right now.

[@gOldEnfFatTy2997]

Will this fit in a G42 M240i?

[@awetuning]

Negative, unfortunately. There's a significant length difference between the two.

[@gOldEnfFatTy2997]

@@awetuning will you guys be making an exhaust for the G42?

[@awetuning]

@@gOldEnfFatTy2997 No plans at this particular moment but could always change.

[@mseker66]

is this street legal in AZ?

[@awetuning]

Comes after the emissions equipment so it should be.

[@TheErichottie]

Why no valves on this exhaust? Missed opportunity. For the price it should of had them.

[@awetuning]

Our patented drone-canceling solution, 180 Technology®, gives you full control of exterior volume via the throttle while killing drone within the cabin. In short, they're not necessary. Pricing for our full catback configurations start just over $1500 -- major value for a US-crafted configuration that provides 65% more flow over stock with such a signature sound. :)

[@TheErichottie]

AWE I definitely love the signature sound. I have the AWE switchpath on my Golf R and love it. I guess I’ll have to see it in person to see what it truly does. I was just comparing to what your competitors are doing such as dinan which offers two valves, no drone and maintains full factory for under 2k. The touring version with black tips gets close to 2500$.

[@awetuning]

@@TheErichottie Appreciate your support! While their configuration is an axleback, we mate to the downpipe. Right after the downpipe lies a radical, bespoke stamped merge upfront that's equivalent to dual 3" tubing. Top that with complete modularity, a straight-through, patented drone solution that works, and proven gains of 16 hp and 12 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels on stock software (with all emissions equipment in tact -- meaning no warranty woes). No cutting involved, either. The valve isn't missed once it's gone :) Regarding your pricing reference, yep, that would be top tier as it's equipped with optional resonators for additional downpipe-tone tuning. We recommend the Non-Res Touring Edition for use with stock downpipes, or go with the lower-priced sibling, the Track Edition.

[@TheErichottie]

AWE sounds very cool! Love the engineering behind it. You make me want one 😁

[@futball24]

CarJunkie do you have the v2 Golf R exhaust or the 1st version?
