does anyone happen to know what the factory torque spec is on the header bolts ??

 

It needs to be set to german auto spec. which is "goud'n tyte"

aka Good and tight

Sorry couldnt resist.

Damn you I installed the entire AWE system yesterday and just need to get the header bolts torqued properly before I can drive it and you give me this ???

 

Crod-

Check your email.

We tighten to 25 ft/lbs.

Thanks for your order. Enjoy!

 

Thanks for the help, Mike. I can easily say you guys make a top notch product. The fabrication is perfect.

 

Vid's please. I loved the AWE on the 997TT, Now I need to hear it on the NA 997's

 

I'll have pics of the install and a video up this afternoon...It sounds really good. Mild at idle but when you stick it, the sounds turns into a high pitched whail. Almost a cup car sound.
My poor neighbors

 

Congrats. This thread is worthless without pictures...

 

Thanks to Sharkey and Mike at AWE for the help getting this system installed. I'm now running the AWE mufflers, headers and 300 cell cats. I've very happy with the sound. At WOT it's got a very exotic almost cup car whail but under light load/throttle it's pretty quiet. Throttle response is greatly improved and I can tell there is a bit more HP. Additional power was not my main concern as I really wanted a better sounding exhaust. The extra power is just an added benefit. I'll have a video of the sound posted as soon as I can get to it; it's been an exhausting weekend



















A couple install notes/problems I encountered:
1. The o2 placement on the AWE cats is a bit different than the stock units so I had to kind of tug at the o2 sensor leads to get them to reach. Luckily the factory left a bit of slack so they just barely reached.

2. I need a lift Getting the headers installed with the new gaskets was quite a chor. Lining up the bolts, through the headers and through the gaskets then positioning them while laying on my back was no easy task. If I had a lift the install would have taken 3 hours as opposed to 6.

Like I said - I'll get a video of sound up shortly. I also did a full Milltek cat back on my S4 Avant (https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...104#post845104) so I've been a little busy. Hope you guys enjoy the pics and lemme know if you have any questions about the install.

 

Good luck with the exhaust system, I think you will be pleased with it. I have had mine(headers, cats & mufflers) on for 7000 miles already and would do it again. try adding on the Evo airbox, also.

 

Thanks Michael - what car do you have the AWE stuff on ?

 

nice job on the install!

 

I have Alex & James @ SharkWerks install my AWE system. I took my car to the Racetrack & Autocross people alway come up to me ask me "what kind of exhaust system you have" You will enjoy the sound beside the extral HP.
Congrats!

Thanks for your business. We appreciate it.

 

Is the sound better than the gemballa exhaust and header? I am looking for a not so ricey sound and nothing with the sonic boom involved. I think my gemballa system sounds ricey. Could AWE sound the same or is it better? Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

Aloha
