AWE Exhaust Install and Sound Clips for 392

[BenLandry]

I’m 21.5in to the bottom of my Borla tips. I’m on 37in Nitto Trail Grapplers on a 2.5in RockKrawler lift. Definitely not tucked in as much as the AWE but better than stock….especially the trash can muffler.

Watch his video. Good sounds with it, and sounds with no muffler on the 392 lol

 

[jandersendo]

Those muffler welds are hideous and unnecessary for a $3,000 exhaust

 

[Noway]

I got a silly question but I have nobody else to ask. Does the stock muffler have any resale value? Can it be used on any other trim?

 

[Fast-n-Furious]

Is it just me...does the factory system have a deeper tone, when valves open?
Too bad couldn't get sound comparison of AWE inside his garage, similar to factory sound at beginning of video.
To be fair, it sounds like phone mic may have been closer to exhaust yielding a louder/closer sound than AWE recording.

Could be helpful if we could get another short audio/video clip with Jeep inside garage, with AWE exhaust and up closer to exhaust.

But, great install video. Very informative. AWE does look better from rear.

Found another video with decibels comparison

Is quiet “happy neighbor” mode still quiet?

—S

On the ATAK Borla? No… I was in “quiet” mode upon cold start up the other day. It scared the mom across the street walking her two toddlers. One started crying and the other gave me a thumbs up. Mom just gave dirty looks as if I revved it at her.

Quiet happy neighbor mode isn’t quite as quiet. I would say it’s slightly quieter than the stock loud mode.

Got the stock exhaust off today 65.48 lbs

I had to stack up all the parts to the AWE 70.86 lbs

I checked my scale with a gallon of water beforehand and got a weight of 8.39 lbs.

Thank you for your work. I'm sure black coated AWE exhaust wouldve been lighter but ohh well

I’m surprised as well, but maybe it has something to do with having multiple pipes that overlap, requiring extra materials? Plus adding the Bash Guard reinforcements on the tips.

AWE claims they use .065”-wall T304L stainless steel, which is 16 gauge. I’m wondering if the Mopar exhaust has a thinner wall say .049 resulting the weight difference?

Stock exhaust outside is 2 3/4 inches.


AWE outside is 3 inches. Larger pipe and possibly thicker would be my bet on an extra 5 lbs.

Thanks for the data! AWE uses 3" tube on most of their products, sometimes 2.5" on smaller applications.

Guys, I looked into the exhaust systems a bit more. The stock system uses the X-pipe while the AWE chose the H-pipe. Borla, MagnaFlow, and aFe they all use X-pipe. In general, X-pipe will deliver a more high-pitched exhaust note, whereas an H-pipe gives a deeper tone. And X-pipe will usually make a few more horsepower than an H-pipe from my learning, because the way the X-pipe creates a venturi effect, which helps pull the exhaust gases out of the cylinder faster.

Just out of curiosity, @Josh/AWE can you chime in and give us some more educational explanation? I wanted to fully understand the design and pros/cons before I spend nearly 3 grand. I really like the AWE design and the quality.

The Borla X pipe (more of a split double Y pipe really) is a work of art. Not sure if it works or sounds any better, but it's cool.

I believe that’s their “polyphonic” technology:

Borla Polyphonic Exhaust Technology: Borla Exhaust System

Borla's new patent-pending technology takes pipe organ principles and applies it to car exhausts to create harmonious frequencies that will revolutionize how we hear our engines.

I love the Borla Atak on mine

X-Pipe vs H-Pipe

I posted this in another exhaust thread, but might explain what your looking for @Fast-n-Furious .

In Short X Pipe provides more HP with a raspier sound, H-Pipe will provide more torque with a more rumbling sound.

I cannot speak from experience as I have not heard either systems in person, but started looking for this information when I saw the difference in design.

Folks who have installed the AWE exhaust, has anyone had any issues/complaints so far? I've been wanting to get the kit ever since it's released back in December. Feel like it's about time but wanted to hear from yall.
