Got a quote from jet-hot - $300 shipped for their extreme 2000 plasma thermal spray coating + top coat for color and removed the logo plates for prep.

Pretty easy to chisel them off? Now makes me wish I would have too LOL

Yes - Exactly what i did. chisel and hammer to break the tacks loose, then cleaned up tacks with a file. Not bad but some FOD under the plates.

Let us know how they fit, mine still sitting in the box. Are those the spools?
Yes, mine are the Spool 3" resonated that I had ceramic coated.

Have the same set, can’t wait to see how they fit, hasn't much feedback yet on how they fit. Post some pics.
Will do! RaceBox here in Houston recommend I go with them since the B6A 2.5" resonated LDPs were out of stock and Spool is only about 10 minutes away from their shop. They should pair perfectly with the AWE. B6A also doesn't have the mounts while the Spools do, which is an added bonus.

Yea, I saw these, look like a nice upgrade over there previous version.
VERY! Bigger resonator vs. Spool's, at a premium price though. I like the design a lot.

No pics...but they fit fine without issue and the AWE Touring remains aligned perfectly. No rubbing or rattling. Most importantly, no complaints on the install from RaceBox.

Spool 3" resonated LDPs, which seems to be who RaceBox is now recommending since their shops are only about 10-15 mins from each other. I told them about the local ceramic coating shop I used, too.
Awe any louder?
Yes, but not obnoxious. I am happy with the volume level but wouldn't want anything more. My wife definitely noticed the change right away.

Well, looks like I need to get these bad boys installed. What did Racebox charge you to install? I have a local shop, and they want $400. I would do myself, but such a hassle. Also, when are you getting a tune?
