In this episode, we install the ‪@awetuning‬ Track and SwitchPath Exhaust systems on a G87 M2. We start by unboxing and laying out all the parts, followed by the installation of the Track Edition. We provide detailed steps, including cutting, clamping, and tweaks needed to fit the new exhaust. The episode captures initial impressions, sound checks, and a test drive after installation. We discuss the pros and cons of the Track Edition, particularly the deep bass sound and drone issues around certain RPMs. The SwitchPath system will be tested in a few days to compare the two setups.

You know when the BMW Tech says “sounds good”, you got a winner…lol Would like to see if Switchpath neutralizes the droan . Good video. Considering for my car.

💯 agree, Sean has installed dozens of exhausts and hearing that from him was awesome. Switch path video will be coming up soon. So far I can say it addresses the drone 😃🙌

For an aftermarket exhaust without a muffler, it actually doesn't sound that loud. A lot of cars without mufflers are really loud. I think with the switch path muffler, it will be quite tame. For a "track" edition, it doesn't live up to its name in my opinion. It's fine and plenty loud enough for daily use. But I wouldn't consider it ridiculously loud like a true track exhaust.

Was wondering if most of your review was in comfort mode or in M/sport/sport+? I know they inject some audio into the cabin when in sport/sport+ I know you mentioned it a feel times, just couldn't tell. I love the throttle response and I like driving constantly in sport+, but is it too loud with the track/switch when in sport+? Thanks.

@thedevthing 27 күн бұрын

I was running mostly in sport+ I have the next video that will go over the different modes. Even in sport+ the exhaust is not obnoxiously loud. It’s very livable. You can turn off M Sound to kill the burbles. I think the track edition exhaust system is very livable mad a daily.

@JtheL-lo9mx 27 күн бұрын

@@thedevthingthanks for responding! Looking forward between the track vs switch I’ll probably pick based off the videos for my m2. Would love an eventual comparison for cold start comfort vs sport + with every setup! Keep up the great content!

Hey Prabhul. I have a deposit on a 2025 G87 (thinking of also getting Zandvoort blue) and I'm eyeing the AWE exhaust. Does both the switchpath and track edition have valves? I want to avoid drone so do you think I should just get the switchpath? Thanks.

@thedevthing 23 күн бұрын

Congrats on your purchase 😃 Track edition does not have valves. I would recommend the Switchpath. I have it installed now and the drone is eliminated and it still sounds amazing 😃

@thedevthing, why didn't you opt for a downpipe as well ?

@thedevthing 27 күн бұрын

I wanted to keep the cats and not cause any warranty issues. Also I hear that most of the good sound comes from the midpipe and the rest of the cat back system is a bonus. Originally I was just going to do the midpipe and call it a day. However since AWE reached out, I am glad I did the cat back system. A downpipe would be a bit overkill for my usecase.

@sydsM3 26 күн бұрын

Doesn’t replacing the rest of the stock exhaust cause a warranty issue in and of itself? Understand that the cats are still there, but the resonators are gone as is the muffler.

@dj1nnie 26 күн бұрын

@thedevthing I heard that there are catted downpipes options which don't remove your cats when you install them and also that th best exhaust sounds on the new bmws you can obtain doing only a catted downpipe and midpipe and keeping the back of the exhaust stock, that's why my first question about the downpipes :) also as a bonus, dowpipes also give a slight hp increase as far as I know!

@thedevthing 26 күн бұрын

@sydsM3 I mean the cuts are happening where the m-performance exhaust would get installed I believe. I there were issues I would put the stock exhaust back on. It would just the exhaust warranty that’s impacted. Anything with downpipe and cats have an impact on the engine as it would throw error codes etc and that starts to impact the code parts of the car. I didn’t want to risk it, if I had to pay out of pocket for exhaust work, I am ok with that. Anything with the engine, that’s likely going to be big bucks😅😃🙌

@@dj1nniequick question I’m about to try and get catted downpipes and mid pipe. Keep the rest back stock. On a new m3comp. Kind of hard to figure this all out. What are your thoughts on doing this.
