Hey Dave!

Yeah I installed the cats myself. Very good quality. Much lighter than stock. Was very easy since I didn't have any mufflers in the way. Simple bolt on. Got new gaskets from the dealer ($12) and new bolts/nuts for the flange. The two outside O2 sensors were a little hard to reach the cat. Other than that, it was a cinch.

My PSE's will be going on soon tho cause its just way too loud with just sport cats and muffler bp...

 

ok got the car back and the dyno-butt suggest a slight increase in mid range no different in the low range. As far as the noise it not that much louder with the pse off and with the dead zone until 4k rpm it's not load at all. Now with the pse on that's a different story, it's like night and day at 4k it's throaty and loud good for the track and freeway but not putting around town as you can hear it.. But all in all I'm happy with the setup and glad I have the option to shut it off if needed I would recommend this setup...

So the final setup is:
AWE headers, AWE 200 cell Cats, PSE and Softronic ECU upgrade.

I have a video but its not to great of the after setup I'll try to get a better one later

great set up. any plan to dyno your car?

 

may be later after it's broken in with some miles...I still only have 1,650 miles on it

 

AWE cats sound fantastic, especially when you swap out the mufflers and headers.

 

Thats sick!

 

Those increases will get better and better with miles as the car adapts. When you have time, take your car for a proper run and drive the wheels off it (red line it in every gear for 100 miles). Then tell me how much quicker it feels (not to mention how much better it sounds). Trust me this really works. Also try the highest octane gas you can find - the difference over standard pump gas has to be witnessed to be believed.

It may also be worth speaking to Softronic as they may have a different map to match the car with the AWE kit.

 

I have 25,000 miles on an AWE full exhaust system. Great sound without being obnoxious, no check engine lights and no issues of any sort.

 

I have AWE same setup & have been very pleased.no drone & the sound gets better as you put more miles on the car.amazing!!!! gd
