I went the MBRP like the one MattJ2020 shared a video.
Well built, easy install and great value. It's a good thick walled system, and sounds great. I've had mine on for about 3000 miles now and love it.

But I did get the active Noise nonsense turned off by my dealer as I feel like it was trying to fight the exhaust noise with terrible base from the "SUB"

Nice! I'm leaning towards this MBRP. Any clearance issues with this exhaust? Not sure if it's the angle- but your pic from the rear- the mufflers look pretty low to the ground...

Any droning noticeable from inside the cabin?

My friend has the MBRP, it's an auto car, and highway cruising he said the MBRP is unbearable. I was going to go MBRP, but ended up buying a second had AWE touring from a member here, and it's amazing. Full 3inch, and the touring has zero drone, none at all, completely silent on the highway.

AWE Touring then?

Would love to know if the track is any good or too loud.

I went with the touring because it was 3inch, and they guarantee no drone. The sound is amazing, loud enough, sounds almost like an exotic to me, and zero rasp. You could always get the touring and it's not loud enough, buy the track rear section and swap it out.

In my case, I am thinking MBRP 3" or the AWE Touring 3".
I was leaning toward the MBRP however I am concerned about Drone.
I have heard both that MBRP has No drone and also it has drone.
I guess that could be just a matter of opinion on what is considered drone.
So question is: Has anyone heard both AWE Touring and MBRP

I have not heard the MBRP.

However, I initially installed the AWE Track and found the drone to be too much.
I ordered the Touring conversion and couldn’t be happier.

Both versions of the AWE sound awesome from outside the vehicle, but the Touring is so much quieter on the inside.

If you're looking into Armytrix, I'd consider the FI (Frequency Intelligent, not Fast Intentions.) Quality and sound can't be beat.

no clearance issues at all, nothing sits lower than the middle section, it is just an optical illusion. That may change once i lower it, but i think it will be fine.

yes there is drone, down low under labour.
it's less boomy drone, and more resonance (I'm no sound guy... just trying to be descriptive :crackup:)

In my manual, it is more than daily drivable and if anything a bit too quiet overall.

Keep in mind that additional decongestion upstream of our system, future power-add mods, and tuning will also impact the sound profile and volume of an exhaust. We specifically designed our Touring Edition system to kill drone, so that you can focus on those other aspects of your build.

It sounds amazing right out of the box, kills drone, and supports your future modification journey.

This is my biggest concern.
MBRP is priced well below AWE and MBRP pays for shipping.
I have heard how well the construction are on both and good figment on both.

MBRP has better price but potential Drone?
AWE significantly more $$$ but guaranteed no Drone?

Aside from our awesome drone canceling technology, we also have a great dealer network that sometimes offers free shipping and other order incentives. You can check out our dealers/installers/online retailers right this way: https://runawe.com/awe-near-you
