just got my AWE 1FG installed this morning. blown away at how awesome this sounds. about 1.5 hours to install align and tighten everything up. The truck idle sounds so good. overall very deep tone to it. semi cold start and light rev gave off a pretty cool crackle too. normal driving mode it is very tame in the cab. no drone at all just 20% louder than stock. i know all about drone from past cars and when it becomes unbearable with windows up at low rpm`s. this interior sound is far from drone, my daughter didnt even realize i had an exhaust installed until i asked her how she thought it sounded haha. exterior noise is awesome. very deep and smooth, downshifts are far more pronounced, and high rpm hooning is epic. im comparing sounds and drone to my Twin turbo M3 and my 650s mclaren, and this raptor setup definitely doesnt disappoint. i`ll be adding some proper drive by and acceleration videos this weekend when i get someone to come out with me, but for now here are some phone clips right after install. video doesnt even do this exhaust justice. its muchhh deeper in person. hopefully the dslr with rode mike will get some awesome footage without ambient noises

first startup


couple revs and drive off from the shop



It still sounds very "farty". What muffler can get rid of that?

What other mods do you have performance wise?

I propped up a table and stuck our VP in front of a camera to go over some points with y'all. Watch below:

Thanks! So Josh, with the amount of guys that are running turbo adapters, which seems like almost every raptor out there, and those of us with higher/free flowing catted downpipes, what are your thoughts on the sounds being produced with your exhaust and these setups? I know you test your products on stock raptors, but creating a product that sounds great while being used on trucks that have upgrades would be awesome. That’s asking for the best of both worlds, but I bet some people are hesitant about pulling the trigger on this exhaust for the fear that it will make the truck sound even worse having these mods done already.

I have an intake, turbo adapters, kooks catted DPs, and the truck gets really raspy at times. I sure don’t want it to get any worse.

While we do our best to develop configurations that appease everyone, it's no easy feat as you can imagine. It's a rare occasion that something doesn't sound just a radical when components are added upstream. I can't make any sort of promises, but anything can be considered.
