Sound level
Wondering the loudness "scale" compare to stock?
Like:
stock valve closed
Stock valve open
Touring
Switchpath valve close
Switchpath valve open
Also about droning the touring has the 180 technology. But how that translate to the switchpath?

I called AWE and the way I understand it after speaking to them is that the switchpath valve replaces the factory valve. They recommend this because there is no way for you to open or close the factory valve. Even in dynamic mode the valve opens and closes based on how the car is being driven. The switchpath exhaust with the valve closed is roughly the same loudness as the touring, and the valve open is roughly as loud as the track.

Finally picked up my car after having AWE Touring installed. Sounds bad ***. Did a quick "cold start" video this morning after getting a couple messages requesting it. Pixel 2 XL, no external mic.
Also note the Euro tails with their separate, orange indicators.

Still waiting for mine, ordered on Jan 18th. My original install date was supposed to be around Valentine's Day, but that's since come and gone. What's the usual wait time for an AWE exhaust? This is my first one.
