When buying from awe directly I added the touring muffler...it's a great axle back conversion, when driving the little ones around there is virtually no drone! Step on it, and it's just as loud as the track edition! Trying to to get more turbo whistle but on the resonated set up is minimal. Overall I'm very pleased with it, compliments the sporty additude of the ST.
If you fellas are running a down pipe be sure to swap out your plugs for one step colder and add a tune... you can get away without a intercooler, but it is highly recommended!
Absolutely sick bro! I went with the Ford Performance 2.5" catback and Procal 3 for warranty purposes but if I wasn't concerned about the warranty this is the sweetest exhaust and pop/crack sound imo.
I’ve been waiting for this video! You’re definitely right about this being one of the best sounding exhausts for these cars. I think the AWE is the best and only good sounding loud exhaust and the Cobb is the best quieter one. Great video!
I’m stuck between this exhaust and the Cobb 😩😩. The Cobb is deep and clean and the awe is in your face. I like them both lol. The adult(32) in me says get the Cobb but the 20 yr old in me says get the awe.
Sick video man ! Keep it up. I Have the same exhaust and it sounds awesome .. planning to get a catless dp but im a bit worried the it would drone a lot . How is it while cruising on the highway? Is it very different from the stock dp ?
Hey man what setup do you have here? Sounds awesome!! I’m looking into getting the AWE track edition exhaust for my 2017 Focus ST3 but not sure what setup to go it’s completely stock! Love the video man!
I have been running the CNT Racing catless dp and cat-back set up for years..great quality and I got it before it was 'popular' and sold out. Its 2.5" and for the stock turbo, is IMO the best exhaust...more subtle, aggressive but tolerable... but possibly going big turbo ill need a 3" set up...greatly considering this exhaust from AWE... im guessing the pops/crackle is in the tune..curious what it sounds like without it... good vids though...thanks for sharing!
How would this pair with a catless downpipe. Im currently straight piped and I hate it. The fumes are horrible and the noise is horrible. I was wondering if I paired the downpipe with a performance exhaust it would sound better and get rid of some of the fume smell.
Oh I just thought of a question for you. I recently bought what I believed to be a ST3 it has the heated leather recaros. Leather rear seats. And leather heated wheel. All st3 things but no large display, no sunroof and no stock Sony sub. Do you think the previous owner installed all that or are there different levels of each package
Dope! I have the track as well on my ‘17. I gotta ask though, what’s your setup as far as downpipe and tune? I like my exhaust but I’m on stock downpipe and stock tune and I feel like it sounds a little weird with the exhaust going from the stock 2.5” downpipe into the 3” exhaust.
It was a huge mistake getting the “track edition” for me at least… now i have to pay up another 600 just for the resonator as opposed to just getting the “touring” right off the bat. I don’t really recommend this exhaust if you plan on driving the car a lot, especially highway miles. It just gets so dramatically drone-ey and buzzy, vibrates a lot. Mine is literally shaking the door cards loose in the front doors lol. It sounds great yes but in the lower rpm’s and especially when decelerating 3k and down it gives that tingle in your ears and just gets obnoxious after a while. We live in the sierra nevada foothills so theres a shit ton of elevation change no matter which direction you’re going and it really shows off that drone. That’s just me though and likely 10-15 years ago I would’ve been all about it.
Another great video! I wanna get this exhaust for my ST, but I’m worried it’ll be TOO loud. Will this have my neighbors giving me death glares every time I start it?
If you don't make eye contact, or leave quickly so they wont have time to glare at you 😅cold start can be loud but I also have a catless downpipe so the turbo whistle gets loud along with the exhaust but normal start is not loud.
@@BenLovrien appreciate the reply! I might just go for it and I’ll have the touring edition conversion to fall back on if it’s too loud without having to buy a whole new exhaust.
I really am trying to decide I'm gonna go big turbo I stuck between the touring and track I don't want crazy drone but I want it loud I'm going big turbo as well please send feedback thanks.. rn I got stock exhaust but res and muffler delete so straight pipe basically
I love this channel and I love your car. But honestly this is a baaaad idea for me to be watching. Gonna turn my st into a money pit. I’m too much of an impulse buyer 😅
If you got FMIC run stage 2 (93 octane version preferably) which is best OTS tune, I believe they actually got rid of Stage 3 OTS. I would strongly recommend looking up JSTuned and Brian will get you a tune just for your car, much better power and reliability on custom tunes. I'm at around 70k on his tune and zero problems, also if you get a catless downpipe he can setup a Stage 3 tune good for about 300whp
@@wickedwonderingdream of course just use highest available octane fuel/map that you can get, I forget some people don't have 93 for some reason? Also make sure your Accessport is up-to-date to get newest files thru Cobb Accessport Manager

I’ve got that exact ST and exhaust. Sounds so good. Burbles just right

Subbed. When this next stimulus check comes around I'm putting it toward the AWE track for my ST.
Edit: It's now on my car ;)
has it arrived yet?
@@colerobinson3624 yep putting it on this coming Monday
@@blackhawk3456 keep me updated

Yeah she can get pretty loud😂 enjoy though man great system

imo.
Is that a pop tune or does that naturally happen with the exhaust
That was a tune yeah, it won’t do that stock
How do you have that much pops and bangs? custom downpipe? COBB access port running rich? both? Thanks for the video!
tune lol
A good tune will give out pops and bangs. As well as if the car has been driven aggressively for awhile
Did you get the blow pop in the box too?
That was my favorite part of buying their exhaust
I’ve been waiting for this video! You’re definitely right about this being one of the best sounding exhausts for these cars. I think the AWE is the best and only good sounding loud exhaust and the Cobb is the best quieter one. Great video!
Thanks man! I was really excited to make this one too!😊

I gotta awe and I love it. I do wanna go slightly louder soon. Idk how I’m gonna yet
They should make a track muffler section!
Easily, one if my new favorite channels.
Wow! That's one mean sounding exhaust. One of the best that I have heard on an ST.
Bet your neighbor's are going to love you though 😂
I’m in an apartment complex at the moment so yea you could say that😬
I've got the catless 3 inch track edition, quite the loud exhaust, but I love it!
Just ordered mine through CJ Pony parts today I’m stoked
Do you have a stock down pipe?
You’re gonna love it! Also no I have a CNT
catless downpipe
@@BenLovrien i also have this exhaust and i’m def copping that downpipe after hearing this, do u have a tune for all those pops?
Yup! Tune is from sxth Element and if you ever want it I have a discount code
@@BenLovrien that would be awesome
Great video once again. I have this setup with high flow mbrp catted dp. No crackles for me anymore though! Good sound quality too!!
Trying adding a short throw plate or shifter it’ll be more enjoyable and you might be able to get more pops going into gear fast enough
I actually have a cobb plate! Set it to 40% haha
Are you catless? Is that crackle pop tune or natural sounds? My Borla never had the pops like I wanted
Great sounding exhaust. Car sounds awesome. Great video work as well! Keep it up!
Thanks Alex will do!
What blow off valve you running? Mean exhaust too btw!!
Really liking the content, keep it coming! Your lack of updated Sync 3 is bugging the hell out of me though! Get on that. ;-)
Ill get on that!😂
Sick video man ! Keep it up. I Have the same exhaust and it sounds awesome .. planning to get a catless dp but im a bit worried the it would drone a lot . How is it while cruising on the highway? Is it very different from the stock dp ?
She’s pretty droney not gonna lie😂
what downpipe and tune are you running ?
Hey man what setup do you have here? Sounds awesome!! I’m looking into getting the AWE track edition exhaust for my 2017 Focus ST3 but not sure what setup to go it’s completely stock! Love the video man!

I got the tomei Ti Extreme for my ST with a catless downpipe and it’s loud af. Haha
Do you have a pop tune?
Did you buy the cnt catless down pipe with the cel fix? And does that eliminate the check engine light ?
I just got the downpipe and ran with the cel then about a month later I got tuned and got rid of the code.
@@BenLovrien thanks bro awesome vid btw

hoping to get this exhaust on my st I just bought just need to save up a bit more
are you catless? if so what brand and what tune are you running?
Great sound great video Ben 📹 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Do u have stock hangers if so does it rattle/hit anything
It’s been great over the last year or so! No issues and it’s all stock hangers!
Thx I really appreciate it. Ordered the exhaust a week ago and was worried after seeing everyone complain about the stock hangers
Why’d your turbo whistle so loud in the exhaust & mine isn’t? My blowoff is but not the whistle. Stock turbo?
Stock turbo, but not a single cat or muffler on the car. Whistles like a jet haha.

All st3 things but no large display, no sunroof and no stock Sony sub. Do you think the previous owner installed all that or are there different levels of each package
Look up your VIN number and see, cause they could have just done a swap or sold other things.
Must likely they swapped ST3 seats into the ST1. It's more common than selling ST3 head unit and lighting and sound system and headlights
What do you like better the touring or track ?
What tune you running? Stratified?
Dope! I have the track as well on my ‘17. I gotta ask though, what’s your setup as far as downpipe and tune? I like my exhaust but I’m on stock downpipe and stock tune and I feel like it sounds a little weird with the exhaust going from the stock 2.5” downpipe into the 3” exhaust.
Downpipe is CNT catless and tune is my own custom tune👍🏻
@@BenLovrien Thanks bro.
I have the same setup, what time do you have
What tune on Cobb port should I run with just awe exhaust
Thats the right sound for this motor in my opinion. It needs that bark! Let others know it means buisness.

Exactly! That’s why I like it so much because I’ve been thinking of doing the same.
just pure exhaust? or is anything straight piped?
I really am trying to decide I'm gonna go big turbo I stuck between the touring and track I don't want crazy drone but I want it loud I'm going big turbo as well please send feedback thanks.. rn I got stock exhaust but res and muffler delete so straight pipe basically
Track would be my bet if I was to go big turbo but touring would for sure be less droney!
what are the mods you currently have?
How’s the droning?
no videos with non res touring and catless dp i think thats the route i want to go
I’ve been debating switching to the touring axle back myself
Is this with a stock DP?
Stock DP?
I had my miltek semi resonated, just to loud for me otherwise.
Wwwhhhiiiirrrrr puhtssstttttt
OE down pipe?
CNT downpipe😊
Your title seems misleading it says awe track at first then says awe touring review?
The exhaust that I reviewed was the track exhaust. I just mentioned that they also offer a touring one too.
I love this channel and I love your car. But honestly this is a baaaad idea for me to be watching. Gonna turn my st into a money pit. I’m too much of an impulse buyer 😅
Same😅 also thank you!
Could you Dailey this without it being supper anoying
Depends on how you drive but I think so
Do u have a pop tune?
What tune on Cobb port should I run with just awe exhaust
I'd recommend getting a custom tune thru JSTuned but if your gonna use a OTS Cobb map just use Stg1 if exhaust is all the mods u got
I have KandN air filter Garrett fmic rear motor mount short shift plate and shift kit stage 2 or 3
