Have had my '17 ST for 3 years stock and decided it's time to wake this girl up. I'm an absolute beginner and was able to install my AWE track exhaust this past weekend with confidence inspired from your channel. You rock man. I actually thought it would be louder lol, downpipe next...
@@kaijenkinson6442 Did you ever get the exhaust? If so, was it loud enough? Thinking of getting the AWE Touring without the resonator, because I've heard its louder than the Track.
Honestly, I like the look of this exhaust more, but I like the sound of the Tomei much more. Edit, 11 months later: Nah, screw the Tomei. AWE is the moves for the ST. Love the look, love the sound.
"...Way too much rust holding these together..." right after my midwest ass was thinking "Holy shit that thing looks brand new" seconds before haha. It always amazes me seeing what someone who doesn't live in a road salt, humid area considers "rusty"
Dude!!! Just received my Track Series(getting installed this coming Wednesday) and the Touring is in Production, will get that within 10 weeks time from production. Also ordered the Blk Diamond tips, those will arrive Friday. And BTW getting my E-Tune as we speak, Alan is helping me out on this.
I have the awe track edition on my 2016 st2. Its fun but it gets very annoying on the highway or long trips. I’m definitely gonna look into the conversion kit
I have the Track w/ resonator and then added the Touring conversion. Nice system. Recommend black tips. Soot builds up quickly and this color hides the dirt better.
It's weird. I have a res delete, mid muffler still, 3in MBRP with whoosh dp. It sounds beautiful to me. Turbo spool from low rpms. No rasp at all. Yes drone at freeway speeds though.
hey bro, i’m looking at getting the track but do i need a cat less downpipe to really make it loud i just want the track, stock downpipe and im wanting it as loud as i can. If so, are u running castles or no.
Considering you added those spacers for the wheels, why haven't you removed the steering rack limiters? It would give you a tighter turning radius. The limiters where added to all the focus's that had an 18 inch wheel and larger to prevent rub and made the turning radius larger but with those spacers they aren't needed anymore.
Best makers of this video. Ik buy a Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI ST-3 from 10-2014. Is there a exhaust configuation for this diesel focus with a bit more noise like original but one that works with a soot diesel filter? If you know a option!
Drone, yes. Up and down the highway at 70 my flowmaster catback was borderline unbearable. Good thing my commute doesn't need use of freeway. I decided to take it off and replace it with the Mountune CBE, which returns it back to a little over stock.
Darius Holt totally agree, bought my st to use as a daily and will be getting the touring non res as well because I don’t want my kid to suffer in the back on long drives lol
do you know if it’s possible to buy it just muffler back? I alr have my resonator removed but still have stock muffler. i’m tryna find an affordable way to make it sound better
I’ve been running 3 inch catless downpipe with 3 inch straight pipe for two years. I’m fucking deaf. I hate the task of the straight pipe too. Def looking into getting a real exhaust setup soon
Finally going to get the AWE track edition catback for my STi in a few weeks. I got a GrimmSpeed catback instead just like a month before CA changed the exhaust law back to a fix-it ticket.
Alejandro R yo. Sorry for just seeing this. You can still get a ticket, but it’s just back to a fix-it-ticket now. So, there should be no state ref unless it’s extra fucky
I would just stay with the straight pipe after the cat, sounds really similar. I get drone over 80 but anything lower than that is totally fine! I like that wrap tho pretty clean.
I have a 2018 focus ST. Can I run a catback exhaust, a BOV, and an intake on the car with just the stock tune? I just want all of the noises, but I am okay with having stock power. Is this bad for the reliability of the car? What are the cons to doing this? I would love to hear your input.
Sick video! I can’t decide between track and touring. Right now I’m catless dp with resonator delete, it’s super stealth when I’m cruzing and has a nice raspy tone when I get on it. I wish I could hear them both in person
Are you driving with out the “lower cowel “ engine cover ?. I just changed my oil and Trany oil in doing so I kicked the container of my old oil on the panel that covers the bottom of the engine so I have left it off until I can clean the damn thing . I hate having to take the bottom engine cover off for maintenance so I am thinking about just leaving it off period . Has anyone else done this ? Any downside to leaving the cover off ? Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated .
Track edition: 9:19 Touring edition 14:47 comparison
Thanks bro

I have a ‘17 as well and installing this exhaust and a BOV this Friday excited for the results
hi mate, thinking of getting this exhaust is it still loud though with the stock downpipe? just because illegal for a catless over here, cheers
@@kaijenkinson6442 Did you ever get the exhaust? If so, was it loud enough? Thinking of getting the AWE Touring without the resonator, because I've heard its louder than the Track.
Had this exhaust for like 6 months maybe and never get tired of it.
9:34 breathing real g’nice 😂
Honestly, I like the look of this exhaust more, but I like the sound of the Tomei much more.
Edit, 11 months later: Nah, screw the Tomei. AWE is the moves for the ST. Love the look, love the sound.
One of my favorite vids so far! I bet your neighbors roll their eyes every time they see you with a new car!
The amount of times that i rewound to the beginning made the video 100 times longer xd, bro the exhaust sounds INSANE
"...Way too much rust holding these together..." right after my midwest ass was thinking "Holy shit that thing looks brand new" seconds before haha. It always amazes me seeing what someone who doesn't live in a road salt, humid area considers "rusty"
wish I'd watched this prior to putting in my MBRP. "work smarter, not harder" with the mount. Good advice!
That sold me on buying the touring section. Already have the track but having the option to make it mellow is about to be so nice lol.
Did you end up getting the touring conversion? I really don't want something as loud as the track exhaust. Do you like it?
Dude!!! Just received my Track Series(getting installed this coming Wednesday) and the Touring is in Production, will get that within 10 weeks time from production. Also ordered the Blk Diamond tips, those will arrive Friday. And BTW getting my E-Tune as we speak, Alan is helping me out on this.
Just wanted to say the audio levels were spot on! Thanks for the vid!
Been watching the whole series for when I can finally afford one 👌🤙👍
you got one yet bro?
I have the awe track edition on my 2016 st2. Its fun but it gets very annoying on the highway or long trips. I’m definitely gonna look into the conversion kit
Can’t wait, got a DP and touring edition non resonated exhaust coming ❤️
Post a video when you install it I’m interested
I am also interested
Sold the car 2 weeks after I got it FBO and tuned lol had an amazing opportunity on a 2011 STi hatchback lolol
How was the highway drone? I'm about to do a similar setup on my ST
dude you're so chill!
You've been growing fast man. keep it up
I love my AWE Track Edition. Im catless downpipe with the Track edition and I daily drive my car. Its the perfect volume balance to me.
This is a very good video also.
Are you running a tune?
@@paoc.1599 yes been tuned on E30 for 2 years now
Sooo good!
I have the Track w/ resonator and then added the Touring conversion. Nice system. Recommend black tips. Soot builds up quickly and this color hides the dirt better.
lances4803 what made you do the touring conversion?
@@alejandro9rojas I'm about to do it with my non resonated setup because the highway drone is HORRIBLE
dude those warehouses are right next to my work 😂 everyone always rips at that spot
I just got my AWE track exhasut last week and I'm super excited
GET HIM TO 100K BEFORE 2020!!!
My.man!!!
@@CameronAlford Hell yeeeeeeee
Going to be buying the touring eddition of the Exaust. which one did you get? resonator or non resonator?
I was pretty much going mod for mod with you. Lost me here you baller 😆
It's weird. I have a res delete, mid muffler still, 3in MBRP with whoosh dp. It sounds beautiful to me. Turbo spool from low rpms. No rasp at all. Yes drone at freeway speeds though.
How do you get those turbo noises at 15:32 to 15:40. I got the green air filter on with the stock intake piping and I hear nothing even close to that.
The exhaust will help also a blow off valve will make a difference too
Message me and I can send you what I’ve got and a video if you want
@@noahhp8936 I have an AWE track edition exhaust and an HKS BOV. But theres a specific sound this car has that I want lol. Evos sound like this also.
short-throw shifter install next?
One year later and I still fall in love with my awe track
is it too loud in the cabin? like is it hard for people inside to talk and listen to music and talk on the phone?
@@williamcroche1335 It is loud in the cabin. Can still hear music and people just fine tho
hey bro, i’m looking at getting the track but do i need a cat less downpipe to really make it loud i just want the track, stock downpipe and im wanting it as loud as i can. If so, are u running castles or no.

The limiters where added to all the focus's that had an 18 inch wheel and larger to prevent rub and made the turning radius larger but with those spacers they aren't needed anymore.
This is the first i hear about this how thick do spacers have to be?
Is having just the stock down pipe with the touring resonated a viable option? Will it change the sound at least until I get an aftermarket downpipe?
Love my awe track edition on my ST. I think it’s the best bang for your buck exhaust system for the ST. Are you catless?
for a 16 st this thing is legit
Honestly you're one of the most underrated car youtubers
Is the sound almost a creaking noise coming from the strut? Had the same issue turned out to be a strut bearing going out
So what’s the best one if you want a exhaust with not a lot of drone, and not to loud but still decently loud
Sounds awesome. My new favorite channel 💥💥💥
I have the invidia Q300... it sounds amazing too... THough, before i bought that, i wanted this... it sounds amazing too!
Joseph Brown invidia is way better
Wow was planning to buy this week. Thanks!
was it the strut mount? i've had several bmws and it's very common on them, with the same symptoms. i've read it's common on st's as well
How did you get the car to sound like that in the very beginning?
How did you get the rev spanks at 13:13?
I’m Wondering The Same 😂
@@ItzExxLOL found out my self actually. He’s has the Cobb tuner and was at redline
Best makers of this video.
Ik buy a Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI ST-3 from 10-2014. Is there a exhaust configuation for this diesel focus with a bit more noise like original
but one that works with a soot diesel filter? If you know a option!
I have this exhaust on my 18 sti it sounds so good
Dan Stumpf I have a 2018 ST3. How much and where did you order your exhaust system from? Thanks
Have u upgraded your airflow
VERY COOL SYSTEM..WILL IT FIT ON THE ,,2016 FOCUS TITANIUM EDITION,,
Drone, yes. Up and down the highway at 70 my flowmaster catback was borderline unbearable. Good thing my commute doesn't need use of freeway. I decided to take it off and replace it with the Mountune CBE, which returns it back to a little over stock.
i just ordered the awe touring non res, im hype af for it. track is just to loud to have my 5 year old daughter in it everyday
Darius Holt totally agree, bought my st to use as a daily and will be getting the touring non res as well because I don’t want my kid to suffer in the back on long drives lol
Year later but anyways.. how does the Non res sound like is it loud and drone or does the muffler help a lot
do you know if it’s possible to buy it just muffler back? I alr have my resonator removed but still have stock muffler. i’m tryna find an affordable way to make it sound better
so what all is on the exhaust set up now? I know you deleted a resonator in early episodes but what is the exhaust set up currently?
Will that exhaust fit the Euro version of the ST, WE IN Australia only get the German made Ford ST.
how do you pop like that in between shifts? like at 13:11
Over revved
@@hunnterful1 what do u mean? like he hit rev limiter?
what size exhaust tips are those
Anyone know how he made that sound at 0:04?
What are those fasteners he put next to the hangers called?? I have the AWE touring on my ST and it moves left every time I autocross
Zach Saubert does anyone know where to get those?
Where can I get that exhaust hanger fastener kit
just got one 😬😬
Did you use the Cobb exhaust hangers ?
Great video thanks. I really enjoyed it.
What induction kit are you running?
I’ve been running 3 inch catless downpipe with 3 inch straight pipe for two years. I’m fucking deaf. I hate the task of the straight pipe too. Def looking into getting a real exhaust setup soon
Is this exhaust also available in italy? or can it be shipped?
Yea cjponyparts ships world wide I believe
my left front strut is making that exact same sound, I'm wondering if its the bolts on top as well
I put Injen on mine and I absolutely love it
Is it with stock cat or it has downpipe?
We’re you on the stock intercooler in this video? This was before Cp-e right?
I have AWE Touring on my Mustang GT. Best sounding exhaust system you can buy.
Nice video loved it keep it up and merry Christmas
What exactly do I need to buy for only the way u have it set fir out of town driving? I'm confused lol
No link for merch?
Is this stock down pipe?
Is it catless? Any drone
Finally going to get the AWE track edition catback for my STi in a few weeks. I got a GrimmSpeed catback instead just like a month before CA changed the exhaust law back to a fix-it ticket.
Stewbob112 wait so now there's no more ridiculous $1,000 tickets for a loud exhaust??
Alejandro R yo. Sorry for just seeing this. You can still get a ticket, but it’s just back to a fix-it-ticket now. So, there should be no state ref unless it’s extra fucky
Top plate bolt is loose, its normal happens on pretty much any coilovers becausr their new
Turbo Flooder sounds kinda nice lowkey...
How did you get the st to hit the rev limiter? Cobb ?
Sounds identical to my Roush system
I would just stay with the straight pipe after the cat, sounds really similar. I get drone over 80 but anything lower than that is totally fine! I like that wrap tho pretty clean.
That’s how my RS is set up.. 3.5 inch straight pipe from the cat back.. sounds great, loud pops, tons of turbo noise.. all for a few hundred bucks
This is with the catless downpipe correct?
I have a 2018 focus ST. Can I run a catback exhaust, a BOV, and an intake on the car with just the stock tune? I just want all of the noises, but I am okay with having stock power. Is this bad for the reliability of the car? What are the cons to doing this? I would love to hear your input.
I would say tune just so you don’t risk running lean/rich on your fuel-air ratio
I feel like if it’s the best exhaust you shouldn’t have to bend any of the piping
Sick video! I can’t decide between track and touring. Right now I’m catless dp with resonator delete, it’s super stealth when I’m cruzing and has a nice raspy tone when I get on it. I wish I could hear them both in person
Get the touring! It's plenty loud with a Catless downpipe!
Should I get resonated or non resonated touring? I lived in AZ for 7 years. Now I’m in Maui. I miss the race scene out there.
I have a ford and I have that problem where u go over a bump and u hear that noice please get to me if u can
I have had problems with my front right strut
what tune are you running? thanks
Will this fit on a 2015 SE?
Does this set up sound like FRPP?
Which is louder tomei or this
Are you driving with out the “lower cowel “ engine cover ?. I just changed my oil and Trany oil in doing so I kicked the container of my old oil on the panel that covers the bottom of the engine so I have left it off until I can clean the damn thing . I hate having to take the bottom engine cover off for maintenance so I am thinking about just leaving it off period .
Has anyone else done this ? Any downside to leaving the cover off ?
Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated .
So what do i need to buy to make mine sound like this
In person, was the track version a lot louder than the touring or was it about the same? Especially at wide open throttle?
Wide open throttle they're pretty close..that's what's awesome. All the in between the track is quite a bit louder
Which size are these wheels?
Where'd the mud flaps go?
I love the STs with exhaust. Their reactions are the best when they get gapped after thinking they're fast😂😂
They make like 250 horse power
Stock ST beats a Stock golf any day
How bad is the drone with the awe track? I have it on mine and I'm debating on going catless with it
is it still loud with cats in
Were you catless in this video?
Does this exhaust fit the 2014 se hatchback?
what catless downpipe does the car have ?
Can you run this exhaust with a stock down pipe and headers??!?!? Please someone let me know.....
Why does your RS have a center exhaust?
it is a focus st, wrapped in the blue that the rs comes with
This, cobb, or tomei, damn hard descion
Tomei sounds better to me. I've had both tomei and awe track
How many Decibels can you guys read to before it’s illegal where your from
