AWE Mc Neil Exhaust

AWE Exhaust and black anodized Techart Tips for sale

I just got the AWE exhaust installed, and it does not work for me on the cab. It is great with the top up but too much for me with the top down.

I just used it for a week. New price is $3,695, you can have mine for $3,250.

Here is the link to the page with the video and sound:

Turns out the AWE was not mounted correctly and made more noise than it should have.

I corrected the problem, about 30 min. ago, and I have to say the AWE sounds pretty damn sweet now.

Two of the clamps were not sealed tight during the installation and allowed exhaust gas to escape before the canister. This resulted in an exhaust note I did not care for.

Funny thing is that two mechanics did not find the problem and swore that this was what the exhaust sounds. I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in the mechanic who did the install, this is a mistake even an apprentice should not make.

It took a guy like me, never been a mechanic but sold lots of parts to them, armed with a flashlight, to investigate. I noticed traces of water (from condensation) in one area of the clamp. I thought that there must be an exhaust leak at the clamp and decided to tighten that clamp. That was all it took and now I have a great sounding system. Just what I wanted.
