I have the round tips from Porsche and I'm going to keep using them; perhaps while they are off I will give them a good cleaning though.

I'm guessing that they did it because the power gain is absolutely negligible and you have the added convenience of using any of the standard Porsche

One of the reasons I chose the AWE over the Milltek was that I saved money and got to use my factory round chrome tips, which I love the look of.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

32 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261027T005001Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 2Original post

You should get another %15 off your AWE b/c I think your comments just caused me to whip out my Credit Card for one! Larry

POST 3Original post

Chows assessment of the AWE is dead on. I used to catch a little vibration under 2000 rpm but with a driving style change it went away. The AWE just likes a little more RPM. Definitely break out your checkbooks! AWE is as close to perfect as you are going to find. I wish I would have gotten a free t-shirt though

POST 4Original post

I've gotta make a trip to Philly in the spring and I've already talked to AWE about installing their exhaust for me. I'll make an appointment and it'll take about 2 hours at the most. chows4us, thanks for the excellent feedback.

POST 5Original post

I forgot to ask. How much did your dealer soak you for on install? $270 here Did I get suckered

POST 6Original post

We get that one a lot. Do you think sending a case of beer might smooth things over? We once had to send a strip-o-gram! (and I'm not much of a dancer) chow- Thanks for the write up. Happy holidays from the staff. We are glad you like it.

POST 7Original post

Really neat story:banana: Indeed the fitment/sound is _that_ good, I agree

POST 9Original post

LOL! Ditto! I'm in for one too but am informed there will be a short delay cuz of the huge response in orders.

POST 10Original post

I really need to find someone with a lift, or I will be doing it on jackstands. - SS

POST 11Original post

You guys are killing me. I thought I was all decided on options, and was going to go with the PSE , but now I'm not so sure....

POST 12Original post

Chow, That sounds AWEsome! I am a bit jealous at the moment. If I didn't lease this car I would get it in a heartbeat. Thanks, Russ

POST 13Original post

You may have seen my glowing post about my AWE catback before but I'm still in love. No rattle or tiny sound at 2k that I notice on my Boxster S and it's heaven with the top and throttle down at the same time. A dealership Porsche tech installed my exhaust as a side job for $150 cash. Can't beat that!

POST 14Original post

*sigh* I was on the fence originally but because of the review, I decided to take the plunge. I have got to stop reading this forum. It's costing me $$$! -Moto

POST 15Original post

I forgot to ask, how many people that ordered this exhaust opted for the tips?? I didn't order the tips but was wondering if I should. Thanks! -Moto

POST 16Original post

It's a disease! Just spent $1 grand for snows, another $4 grand for 19" Sport Design Wheels with PS2's (for spring install), and now I'm thinking about $2 grand including install for AWE exhaust . My wife calls the Cayman S the Money Pit. Thank God she does not match my spending $ for $. She's a gem! :crazy:

POST 17Original post

With the number of orders that they received, I imagine that this would be a worthwhile poll. I ordered on Friday and did not opt for the tips. I read a few articles here about how if the exhaust stays separate and does not go to a single collector, the performance is better. I asked Mike from Awe if their tips go into a single collector and he said yes (same as stock). I did like the look, but for $400 I can pass. If they were on sale at a much lower price, I probably would have opted for them. I will probably send my current tips to Boothe Design to get the black chrome finish.

POST 18Original post

My wife says the exact same thing. She fears the word "Group Buy" coming out of my mouth and says she has nightmares about it.

I found chrome OEM tips on eBay for $325 :dance:

POST 24Original post

Great exhaust You mentioned the Borla . Well, for those of you waiting for Borla to develop one, don't hold your breath. I was at the Borla facility last month and talked with their marketing guy and he said that they aren't developing one, at least not yet one reason because they don't have a car to use. I think the other reason was the they aren't sure there is a market for one. At least enough of one to do the R&D.

POST 25Original post

Sigh ... I had emailed them several times and just got a stock response ... "we're working on it". The problem with big companies like that is probably they got to cater to 50,000 Vette customers but 5,000 potential Caymans per year isn't worth their effort.

POST 26Original post

My cayman was in the shop for tire repair and no car for 5 days.

POST 27Original post

You can't get a better review than that. Thanks! Do you think they would be interested in becoming a dealer of ours? We already have many Porsche dealers that sell our system. Adding one more would just another feather in the cap. Email me his contact info. Handmade at our facility and all stainless. Click here for the tour. http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/facility_tour/index.cfm Or how about a cell phone ring tone?

POST 28Original post

I have converted it to a cell phone ring!!! Good idea!

POST 29Original post

I just ordered my AWE today from Sharky at Sharkwerks!! Can't Wait!!:drivingskid: Alias

POST 30Original post

I have had mine sitting in my dining room for two weeks. It is getting installed tomorrow. I will have dynos before and after and my car is completely stock (no desnork, no chip) I thought everyone would appreciate the comparison. I can't wait!!!! I'll post the the charts here when I get them.

POST 31Original post

smounic, Can't wait for the results. I think you may end up putting me over the edge to make the purchase too...what can you do sometimes
