Watch several videos of popular YT’bers, but for some reason - yours pushed me over the edge. Order the AWE track for my girl “Sasha”. She’s a torch red with two toned red/blk interior 23” HTC Z51 that’s slated to be born on 7.12.23. Unfortunately the dealer I brought her from won’t install the exhaust or other aftermarket parts! I have to find a dealership close to home that will. Thanks for the content to hold me over until she arrives. Subbed 😎

Thank you so much for the great complement. I really appreciate the kind words. I love my AWE exhaust. It actually gets louder over time. I have about 500 miles on it now and I swear it is atleast 25% louder than when I first got it installed. The cold start is a beast!
