I just installed the 1fg yesterday. It sounds like the CJ Pony video and not like the AWE video at all. Lots of drone in the cab and has a terrible blaat sound on initial take off. Once it’s up in the higher rpm’s fully pinned it sounds pretty good. I’ll be switching it to the 2fg version to see if it’s any better. Currently the drone is very tiring driving around town.

I had the exact same problem after mine was installed last Friday. I did contact the customer service at AWE and was told to let the exhaust breaking in for 800-1000 mile. They also mentioned that they call out 40 ft-lbs as their minimum but feel free to go tighter if you are experiencing any leaks. I'll double check all the clamps, making sure no gaps in the meantime.

Fiancees said she loves the new exhaust sound. She thought the stock exhaust was weak. We need to get married.

I've got the oem tips also mcm, do you have aftermarket speakers installed?


My truck has the stock B&O stereo, no other mods outside of Deavers, Fox 3.0 race dampers, and some lights.

I've nut and bolted the install and everything was in order, no parts touching anything at all. As I said before the fit and finish are excellent and the install was pretty simple.

I'll post a cold start and full pull video soon.

Asking people if they like a sound is like asking if they prefer chocolate or vanilla icecream better. Some people will love the same sound that others hate.
It would be great for those of you who are hearing drone to share those videos. One man's drone could be another man's symphony.
These new videos sound awesome at cold start and flooring it. I did hear what I'd consider drone at the lower speed/rpm which would be typical at rush hour. But it was so brief at that speed it may just be my crappy phone speakers.

Here's an interior video of the 1FG. It's pretty shaky but it's a lot harder to drive a film than I thought it'd be.



There you go, injecting facts and results with video into a discussion calling for rumor mongering, innuendo and insults.
what is FRF coming to ?
