Hey guys, as the title states, I switched up my exhaust system. Before running stock, I went ahead and ran the full SPD setup, which included a DP and axle dump exhaust. While I loved the noise and performance of the SPD setup, it was a bit of overkill for daily driving. I drive a lot of miles for work in SoCal, and the exhaust drone began to wear on me. Luckily, I was able to chat with AWE about their exhaust.

All I can say is WOW, this thing is perfect. It is the perfect setup in between stock and race. The AWE does not have any dreaded drone while driving around, but it has a nice throatier tone, over stock. My gf no longer complains about the noise and vibrations occurred from the SPD DP and Axle dump exhaust.

The fitment of this setup is also perfect. There was no trimming or modifying needed. simple bolt on application.

I would 100% recommend the AWE Ford Ranger exhaust for anyone. It gives you the added performance and looks, without sacrificing ease of driving. I will upload a video later tonight! Feel free to ask me any questions.

PS the AWE customer service team is incredible. :sunglasses:

PS the AWE customer service team is incredible. Ask for Jesse, if you call into their company. I am sure they will give out a discount if you mention this writeup and Forum! :sunglasses:

agreed 100% While i have not heard any other CB in person I am extremely happy with the AWE. Im surprised how throaty it makes the turbo 4 sound & best of all NO DRONE. . . Looks, like you have the end section / tips tucked up pretty tight to the body, have you noticed any damage to paint from heat or exhaust movement ? . . My tips do get pretty hot

I have not had any issues with damaged paint. I do have the Carbon Fiber body panels from @APG , who also handled all of my paint. So far I have zero issues with the AWE exhaust.
