105dB static is typical for UK tracks so it should be fine but they do measure with a probe much closer that the above vid. I'm semi-confident it'd be fine.

So am I, so next week I’ll fire in an order for the double tip model. I’ll not get burnt ends because that shows the world the sysytem is after market, and I want an OEM ish look, with some noise.
When I punished the demo car a bit, after 5k the generated noise thing gets a bit too intrusive in the driving seat. Likely I’ll order up the piggy back plug and have it switchable.

I have the AWE touring system installed, it's been a full day so i dont have good clips just yet
Some highlights from the installation are on my instagram, dicking about mostly.
Initial impressions
Its cold start is too loud if you have neighbours.
Perfect idle, no issues, same volume as stock just different tone.
Driving casually you now know you have an exhaust, its there, but not intrusive. Music playing on low and you don't notice it.
Put some power through and that tone takes on the volume, it's always personal preference but I love what it's producing.
I believe it does crack on downshift, but tested today at low speed and nothing, which is nice. High speed untested.
The cold start is the issue with this one, but I have noticed already that if I'm moving right away, the flow must become more consistent, which really helps bring it back to a reasonable level. I'll have to get some clips of this and confirm.

The single exit retails for over £1600 so a bit more than that, considering the extra material would be a ballpark approximation.

Fitted the Remark axle back today. Really pleased with it. Not as loud as I was expecting after watching the US videos. Nice sound and not excessive on the motorway either. Disconnected the ASC at the same time. Big improvement.
Bought the double skin version this morning.
It will arrive next week, pity I haven’t got the car yet.
I had thought the Remark lead time would be a month or so.
I think we have enough people saying the same thing now to confirm that the US videos definitely demonstrate a louder car than the reality for us in the UK lol.
Also good to see so many people going with the Remark. Gonna have to charge them commission at this point!

Sounds good but fitment seems horrible
not centered at all horizontally AND vertically (might even burn the plastic). Tips don't even come out the same distance.Extremely bad installation job or bad hardware?

Or at least your contact. He keeps teasing other bits too which I can't afford just yet but it's cool to have an avenue to go through now. Once I have a shopping list together I'll ask him what he can do.
Bad job isn’t it, surprised he was so keen to show it.Sounds good but fitment seems horrible

I think the borla would be less crackly on a euro car, the cold start is a bit much for me.

They carry a good rep on here, I’ve read a couple saying they had one on their gt86’sI think that sounds great - kind of fun but not OTT
Were they a good job on a GT86??
That is grim, the fitment is terrible and so is the rasp on over run. You would probably get the same results just removing all the silencers, sounds chavvy.Sounds good but fitment seems horrible

Nope, it's deep and emits a nice rumble without feeling asbo. As said before the cold starts are loud, but that is the only trade off I've found in my month of having it installed.
Yeah the cold start appears very loud and around town low rpm is quite boomy. Did you find it toned down a bit with some coking up?
