AWE Resonated Touring Edition Exhaust with stock DP

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi guys,

I've been reading a lot on AWE touring exhaust, but I never found any doing what I would like to do. FYI, I have a stock 2020 M340I Xdrive.

I'm interested by the AWE Touring Edition Exhaust but I'm still worry about being too loud. Not too loud for me, but for my wife ! lol

AWE is recommending Non-Resonated for a Stock DP and Resonated for an aftermarket DP. I was thinking using the AWE Resonated even if I still have the stock DP (I don't have the intention to change my DP in future).

Do anyone did that already?

MPE seams not loud enough for my taste and I have the feeling AWE Touring Resonated would be still louder than MPE but quieter than Non-resonated AWE.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thank you in advance

I have stock dp and non-resonated touring.

I’m a married professional with a family and neighbors so I get your concern, but this set up is right for me.

It’s totally fine. It is loud but not obscene. When you are driving in comfort mode at relaxed speeds it’s tame. Louder than the boring stock exhaust but still not too aggressive. At idle it has a nice throaty rumble but totally not loud.

It’s when you switch to sport modes and get on it into the higher rpms that it really gets loud. And it damn well better for what they cost.

Ok great! Glad to hear that! I'm going to let her know your experience to help my case !

with stock downpipes

Resonated - perfect for daily drivers with a very balanced sound.

Non-res - aggressive but still works for daily drivers.

Either one works; it just depends on how aggressive you want the exhaust to be

Ok thank you and still considering there's not aftermarket DP, would you say that the resonated is still more agressive than the MPE?

Tough to say without having both cars in the same location or using the same recording device.

Sounds like you should just keep it stock

I see this pattern over and over again: people want a more sporty exhaust, then when they finally get and install one, they clutch their pearls and say “It’s just soooooooooooo inappropriate!”

He needs to pick a quieter exhaust that's all. I recommend keeping stock downpipes and getting the AWE resonated

Hey bimmers,

I just ordered with Mike (Extreme Power House) the AWE Touring edition non-resonated with stock DP for my 2020 M340i. I can't wait to hear the sound of it.
If my wife thinks it's too loud, I can add the resonators later on 😁

I'll try to make videos

I'll keep you posted

Thank you Mike

Congrats

You. Will love it. So will your wife

One month after installing my exhaust I pointed it out to my wife (she had never noticed!). She looked at it and said “whatever” and never said anything again.

Since she doesn’t drink, when we go out and I have a few beers she is our designated driver and she has even driven it a few times, and it has never bothered her.

Yes thank you. I went with the diamond black tips since my car is black sapphire. I would have prefer carbon fiber tip but AWE did not have it.
