I have had the AWE touring for around 8 months, believe me it sounds much better in person than on video. Also it doesn't really get loud unless you are in the upper rpms, so it is great for daily use!
Got my AWE Touring form you guys earlier in the year. Def even better in person especially after break in. Pops and tones are great especially at redline or around 4k. Also just did a 6 hour roundtrip drive. No drone issues at all. Thanks for the quick shipping!
I think you should note, as per our communications, that if you want to pair it with a 3" downpipe, the Greddy will cost far more as you must purchase their 3" mid-pipe and a3" front pipe, as it comes with neither. You'll also have an extra 2"to 3" pipe trip hang as a decoration. I currently have the AWE suite and the low drone is only with the factory downpipe. If paired with a downpipe (I have the RV6 high flow cat installed) the AWE has horrible drone and you need to add the extra resonator section up front. The only issue with that is that my car is dropped an inch on Swift springs and I have barely 2" of ground clearance. It hits ever speed bump, curbs entering driveways, etc. There's more to some of these stories. Excellent video. Thank you for the examples. Personally, I wish I'd bought the invidia.
These exhausts sound really good, currently looking to get a type r & would like an aftermarket exhaust without it sounding like a trumpet, but these all sound good!!
Thanks for the video, video was full of information and witty comments. This helped me decided on which exhaust to go with. The AWE was definitely my favourite.
I had the greddy SP on mine and I would buy it again in a heart beat. All these other companies are just trying to mark their shit up cause it’s “type r” parts.
hey bro im looking for an exhaust for my type r, have you ever had any problems after installing yours? such as engine codes etc? also did you need a tune to make sure the car still ran fine or is it really just plug and play? an exhaust is really the only mod id like to do to mine but im scared itll fuck up my car somehow haha. thanks in advance!
@@xypper7527 I had no issues with the engine and no tune. only really need a tune when replacing the cats on turbo cars. a tune would help add some power with the exhaust but not needed. the only issue i had was when it was cold the massive front over pipe hit a part of the steering rack and made some noise. wasnt a big issue at all though ant not surprising seeing the small area that pipe has to fit in.
Hey man I've seen you on the Forums.. and yes HANDS DOWN with my PRL high flow catted downpipe it's AMAZING I ran the Borla before and sold it for 27WON it's a beast so much grumble
I got the awe touring edition and had it for three days. It literally made my whole car vibrate so much around 3200 it felt like it was going to fall apart. Got rid of that day three and replaced it for the invidia r 400. Sounds wayyy better and no drone. Better build quality and welds as well.
I have the Invidia R400 & honestly the low end growl is amazing. I get some many questions & complements on it. I do travel a lot & that drone definitely is there between 2500-3000 rpm’s. Love it but definitely wanna do something about that drone
Awe sounds like a jetski. Anyway, which one produces more on the Dyno. That’s what I want to know. That’s how old timers like me used to pick our parts.
Appreciate it I’m thinking of going with Greddy but I prefer the HG or the SP I think it sounds better. Wish you had did honorable mentions for Blitz or other vendors to.
Loved the AWE. Sounds amazing and looks right. Would consider this for my '18 FK8. I daily mine, so no drone is a must. I think the triple exhaust looks right. Even the short clip of the track version of the Awe sounded wonderful. Thank you for a great video.
27Won exhaust beats all these hands down. Read your comments. The reason. It's not not in your lineup is because your not a direct retailer... BUT ya.. you missed the best one
I am running the BoostLogic full Titanium system with the exhaust valve in it. Build quality is top notch, weight is ridiculously low, and price is good for full titanium... you should check them out.
Im assuming you're asking how to make it louder? Aside from modifying the catback itself, the only other things would be a high flow downpipe and a frontpipe. Both of which we manufacture here and would pair well with that catback, making it a bit louder!
Tomei is the best sounding. It has all the right sounds at all rpm range. I have one I put on my R when I got to the Dragon or spirited driving in the mtn. But I a stock exhaust, daily.
I have the Invidia R400 & honestly the low end growl is amazing. The clip in this video doesn’t do any justice. I do travel a lot & that drone definitely is there between 2500-3000 rpm’s. Love it but definitely wanna do something about that drone. Any suggestions?
@@maperformance awesome!! I've always been worried about that much power for a fwd car. Bur I honestly like the look and the way the Type R drive over my STI
Not a chance. I’ve been searching for an AWE touring vid with a catless DP. None. Most Type R owners seem scared to go catless cause then a tune is required.
Just brought the greddy supreme sp for my type r. The awe would’ve have been my first choice but the greddy is so much cheaper that I couldn’t justify going for the awe
Hi and really enjoyed the.sounds BTW i will be only using for daily use and no track or racing other ppl. What will be a good exhaust that has smooth sound , not loud , deep sound , and not expensive? These prices are in U.S dollars or canadian dollars ?? Which one should i get
Funny I went from a civic si to rcf to a type r I got for msrp in October. I was missing the manual! I will say the awe touring sounds great on the type r!
I have the Greddy Sp Supreme. Its loud with a downpipe, so I added a resonator in the middle of it. But I have a sport hatchback not a type r. Type r exhaust with fit the sport hatchback with very little mod.
Best exhaust for the FK8 hands down 👍🏼. No drone due to the Helmholtz design. Had the Tomei Spec D for 1 week. Drones like crazy and loud af with that rasp that I hate even with the silencers installed. Forget about running it with a catless dp or without the silencers.
They won't fit unfortunately, your issue will be with the downpipe fitment especially if they come with a front pipe (like AWE). Also the center opening for the bumper is not be wide enough. Unless you plan on working with someone force it to work (not recommended) HKS and Remark have good options for the Sport Hatch.
😂 It's tough, I know! I suggest calling our sales team to see what they recommend. They have the best experience with these and will be 100% honest with you.
@@fresco1642 Nice. I had 2012 STI in nvidia turbo back exhaust back in the day it was loud. I am sure that would not have passed but these being cat back not as loud.
A little sad to not see Borla ATAK on the list. It's hard to record the sound it makes. Sounds very lively in person and any videos online doesn't do any justice to the sound.
Invidia R400 sounds like the One for me but they all Sound incredible like that Greddy for the price and sound not Bad but the Invidia is the sweet spot
Do you think we missed an exhaust that should be on the list?? Wanna see us build an FK8 on the channel?? Let us know down below!
HKS Legamax is the best for daily driving.
That's a really good one too!!
27won by far. most of these are still necked down on the over pipe.
Yes build an FK8
Milltek Non Resonated is really good, thats what I have on my car.

It sounds really good in this video,,i can just imagine in person. This AWE touring is the one i will get 👍
@@pedrorivera2308 you will be very happy with it. But keep in mind that if you decide to change out your downpipe it will get much louder.
@@johnss2k434 Thank you 👍💪
@@johnss2k434, Much Much louder lol. I'm about weld a resonator onto it. The PRL Catted downpipe made a huge noise increase
My goodness the greddy gave me some serious chills

AWE tuning exhaust is the best, I saw one on the highway and dropped shift to 4th then popped popped sounds so nice.
Good review. I think its difficult to make the ctr sound good...
Running AWE Touring with a catted RV6 DP. I love the tone of the AWE!
It's literally the only exhaust that sounds good. All others, I don't care how expensive they are. Sound. Like. SHIT!
I have the awe touring on mine and it’s so aesthetically sound. I find myself just sitting there listening to it. it feels and sounds great.
The AWE touring definitely sounds the best in my opinion. I love the low growl it makes. Amazing exhaust
I really like the invidia too.
GREDDY Supreme got this in the bag!!

Good insight!
Tomei Titanium dual exit because its the lightest weight, sounded great and those burnt tips are 🔥
J’s Racing is my favorite exhaust on the fk8 , it make the best sound and performance, makes amazing sound on 2 step, look up J’s exhaust it’s a beast
AWE tuning Touring is that smooth sounding exhaust I love 👍🏽🔥
These exhausts sound really good, currently looking to get a type r & would like an aftermarket exhaust without it sounding like a trumpet, but these all sound good!!
yup, got the R400 to try and keep it quieter, hoping it doesnt get much louder once I install the RV6 catted DP
Absolutely. Incredible.
AWE is AWEsome! Have already my Touring on order and can’t wait for it!
Any updates
Thanks for the video, video was full of information and witty comments. This helped me decided on which exhaust to go with. The AWE was definitely my favourite.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your support!
Nice video! I dont even have a type r but I am here watching sitting in my SI 😅

I’m running Borla right now on mine. Best clips I’ve heard so far are from the 27Won FK8 exhaust, especially with an aftermarket DP. Good stuff.
Hey man I've seen you on the Forums.. and yes HANDS DOWN with my PRL high flow catted downpipe it's AMAZING I ran the Borla before and sold it for 27WON it's a beast so much grumble
DIAMOND R on forums btw
Clinton Popham Sounds totally sick man! Awesome!

I daily a Si with castless down pipe and map street exhaust.. which one sounds as good.. yeah type R is coming
What is the difference between the touring and the touring with front pipe and dual phase mid pipe???
How many cat converters are in here? and would removing at least 1 make a more aggressive sound or the opposite?
tbh I wish the newer type r's also had the 2x2 pipes like the 2016 version had.
Awe sounds like a jetski. Anyway, which one produces more on the Dyno. That’s what I want to know. That’s how old timers like me used to pick our parts.
None of these will make significantly more power than the others. Just pick which one you think sounds best!
I own this car and the Fujitsubo Exhaust is by far my favorite :P
Fujitsubo, MillTrek, Thermal R&D, AFE, ArmyTrix, Spoon, Mugen, Js Racing, Remus, Borla??? Would like to see a Top 10 list
27won
The AWE track exhaust had me sold
Awe is the one for me 😍 I love it. No drone and is good for a Dayl. Plus it looks so good 🥵
It's so good!
Appreciate it I’m thinking of going with Greddy but I prefer the HG or the SP I think it sounds better. Wish you had did honorable mentions for Blitz or other vendors to.
Which is best for power on a dynamic test
Loved the AWE. Sounds amazing and looks right. Would consider this for my '18 FK8. I daily mine, so no drone is a must. I think the triple exhaust looks right.
Even the short clip of the track version of the Awe sounded wonderful. Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for the kind words, we love AWE! We are running a 15% off sale on their products on our site right now! 👀
Wish the Non-Sport Hatch had aftermarket exhausts :(
No mention of the Apexi N1?
Is that car that’s running awe - tuned or have a downpipe ?
Not including the Martelius system is a nightmare miss.
Absolutely monstrous; I have it and legit sounds like you’ve added cylinders😂
10/10 would recommend
Think we missed an exhaust?? Wanna see us build a Type R on the channel?? Let us know down below!
Put a Magnaflow exhaust on it sounds way better than the awe exhaust.
27Won exhaust beats all these hands down. Read your comments.
The reason. It's not not in your lineup is because your not a direct retailer... BUT ya.. you missed the best one

@@BassFearDave they won't review it... They aren't a retailer of it... Lol them asking what people want them to review is total BS
You forget the Remus
The awe is super quiet any bolt ons or recommendations

You could add another resonator or muffler!
I have the Greddy Supreme SP and it def has drone but it sounds amazing
I'm interested in a Type R.. how does it handle in the winter? I'm in South Dakota for reference so pretty close to Minnesota!
Winter tires and you should be good to go!
@@maperformance awesome!! I've always been worried about that much power for a fwd car. Bur I honestly like the look and the way the Type R drive over my STI
I love my HKS Spec-L cat-back exhaust!
Anything about the Mugen Titanium Exhaust?
We unfortunately don't sell Mugen exhausts, but I'm sure its a great product!
That R400 Exhaust driving clip took place in Turnbull Canyon.
Can't decide between Greddy and AWE now :(
Same here, I think greddy sp the best choice. Better welds and overall quality.
The HKS clip is obviously just catback as i have that exhaust with an HKS catless downpipe and its freaken loud .
Were any of these sound clips with a catless down pipe?
Not a chance. I’ve been searching for an AWE touring vid with a catless DP. None. Most Type R owners seem scared to go catless cause then a tune is required.
I can’t decide, my brain is gonna explode. I want one this has a nice deep tone but not too loud, just about right for daily. No drone or rasp
Curious if these will work for a non fk8 type r ?
Me:
*broke asf
*wanting to buy a new exhaust for my Type R
*favorite video
* watch exhaust clips over and over and over until I can buy one
lol
Patience my friend!
I just picked mine up 6 days ago and looking into this. BUUUUTTTTT saving some coin for now lol
Just brought the greddy supreme sp for my type r. The awe would’ve have been my first choice but the greddy is so much cheaper that I couldn’t justify going for the awe
I have not as yet figered out how to get the coin to buy a type R !
Tomei for the win always
They definitely make some amazing products!
Hi and really enjoyed the.sounds

Can u make the video about air intake, intercooler ...... of this type r please
AWE Tuning Touring Exhaust, which downpipe goes best with this one?
Prl catted dp
I have ultimate racing track exhaust. It’s my daily and I love it
I have none just the resonator.
Had an AWE exhaust on my F30 328i and it sounded fantastic and it had zero cabin drone. I just wish they made one for the RC F I have now
Funny I went from a civic si to rcf to a type r I got for msrp in October. I was missing the manual! I will say the awe touring sounds great on the type r!

Yeah but you have an automatic
AWE tuning exhaust sounds so good for a daily. I love mine! Loud enough to enjoy a fun ride but doesn't drone for long drives.
What happened to ARK DT-S sounds perfect to me!
I have a dumb question. Why type r doesn’t have that pops and bangs sounds like amg?
Because Honda its stupid
What do you think about the fk8 spoon sports exhaust ? Anyone
The AWE Touring is simply amazing.
Saving up for a Fujitsubo
Best exhaust for the FK8 hands down 👍🏼. No drone due to the Helmholtz design. Had the Tomei Spec D for 1 week. Drones like crazy and loud af with that rasp that I hate even with the silencers installed. Forget about running it with a catless dp or without the silencers.
I have the awe track on mine and it is definitely a little annoying but I got it for a really good price.
Great video and I agree that the AWE sounds the best 👌
Would anybody recommend the borla exhaust for the Type R?
will any of these work on a 2017 civic hatchback sport....or just type r...im curious.
I believe it does fit on. But if you’re purchasing it new they should have the option when purchasing it if it’s for the type r or the sport hatch.
They won't fit unfortunately, your issue will be with the downpipe fitment especially if they come with a front pipe (like AWE). Also the center opening for the bumper is not be wide enough.

What about armytrix one great job nice video
A great choice for sure!
Glad to meet Charlie while on the mn accord fall cruise
Had a blast on that! Thanks, great meeting everyone there too.
With police being fond of issuing tickets for excess DB levels of exhausts do these all pass allowed DB level?
Most of these should pass
@@fresco1642 Nice. I had 2012 STI in nvidia turbo back exhaust back in the day it was loud. I am sure that would not have passed but these being cat back not as loud.
Greddy takes the cake but the AWE comes in a strong honorable mention second place
In my humble opinion the in house ti resonated exhaust from rampage fabrication is the best.
Prob gonna go with awe or borla, I really do like how th borla sounds
best vid bro u know what buyers want to know
I like to think so! Thanks bro! - Charlie
Invidia is the clear winner. It’s very similar to the Magnaflow exhaust.
Look at the borla Atak that’s sounds really good too.
Incredible!
Why don’t we have a sound meter to hear the decibels ??
How about the armytrix
A little sad to not see Borla ATAK on the list. It's hard to record the sound it makes. Sounds very lively in person and any videos online doesn't do any justice to the sound.
Greddy SP or DD-R best sounding.
Invidia R400 sounds like the One for me but they all Sound incredible like that Greddy for the price and sound not Bad but the Invidia is the sweet spot
Anyone know the song in the background in the beginning?
I’m thinking the skunk2 double barrel or j racing..the rest of them sounds Rice out
What would be nice and unique, a huge single ovale/semi-ovale exit
Imho milltek, awe, and the invidia q300 are the best sounding exhaust systems
Cool sound 👌👌
Remus?
No armytrix?
that last one HOLLLLY SHHHH
NICE sound👍
